I just got a new 2003 celica GT and I was thinking of taking off the GT tag on the back and replacing it with a GTS tag so that all my friends would think I have a GTS. I don't race and I just got the celica cause it looks really nice. What do you guys think?

Thats stupid man. Represent what you have. If you want 'n00bs' to not know what you have, just debadge your car. But anyone that knows anything about a celica can tell its a GTS by looking at it.

people will be able to tell because the GT has rear drums...if you wanted a gts you can get a 2000 model and just trade in your 03' (which i don't suggest you do). are you ashamed you have a GT?? you shouldn't be...you want people to think it's fast then Turbo it badging a GT as a GTS is like taking a hot girl to the prom but not telling anyone she is really your sister . be true to yourself...and others

I guarantee you people will know. It's so obvious.. and I'm pretty sure you have the GT rims all around as well. GTS stock rims have thin single spokes, pretty obvious. And even if you change the rims, you'll still have your drum brakes in the back which is really obvious as well. I recommend you just take out the GT symbol if you're so ashamed of it. Don't slap on a GTS symbol, people will think you're gay and will flip you off for no reason on the freeway.

Yeah don't do it, ithought the GTS came with the double spoke rims and the single spoke is considered an option, even though most GTS do come with the single spokes...

how much you want for it? Also my GT comes with the 16inch alloy wheels, sun roof, and power windows. So, unless they open my hood they won't be able to tell I have a GT.

I'll look for some pics...but go out to your car...and look at the brake assembly in your front wheels. Now imagine that same assembly in the rear. Disc brakes are better than drum brakes.
Basically notice the difference in look between your front wheels and rear wheels brakes.
Depending on the wheels on a celica, I can usually tell from about 25' - 30' if its a GT or GTS by a side view.

![[Linked Image]](https://celicahobby.com/gal3/albums/stuff/FU10.jpg) Discs = Disc Brakes. GT has drums in back. (Notice you only have calipers in front) GTS has them all around. GT has "VVT-I" on the valve cover, GTS has "VVTL-i." Anyone that actaully knows anything about celicas will be able to tell the difference in the engines.

Anyone that actaully knows anything about celicas will be able to tell the difference in the engines. Exactly, I would recommend against doing this. No matter what car, people that re-badge their vehicles as the 'higher up' trim people hate it. Just be happy with what you have, and dont try to show what you dont.

GT with a GTS emblem on = POSER! Just debadge it man will look just fine, dont be dumb enough to put a GTS emlem on your GT, trust me people can tell right away, had a friend that put a GTS badge on his GT for a while and he hated that whole week, no way a GT can look like a GTS unless you change absolutely every little detail, like gauges, the automatic has the shift-tronic thing too, and also has the shift up and down buttons on the steering wheel, and exhaust tip. Also the GTS engine is wayyyyy bigger than the GT engine.

Don't fake the funk - makes you a poser. Don't be like one of those Honda kids that put type R all over vehicles that didn't even have a type R trim level.
Just debadge all around. If anyone asks if you are embaressed about your GT just tell them you wanted a clean, stealthy look to your back end.

How can you go and buy a celica and not even know what disk brakes are?? Didnt you do any kind of research before buying a car?? If you know this little about your own car why do you even care what the badge says?? Thats the last of your worries...

I couldnt afford the GTS and I didn't want to get an older model GTS because it would have more miles which means more problems. You guys could probably tell the difference from a GT to a GTS a mile away, but what about the average person that doesnt know the celica like the back of their hand? They would never be able to tell.
