Celica Forums General Discussion General What type of Celica is this?!?

hey guys this is a celica i've had my eyes on for a bit. i love everything about it except that it's auto . I want to find out if this is all custom work of it is a special trd version. it's time to trade in my old celi.

Where did you see this celica at? it could be a GT or GTS just dressed up

its just a normal celica with kit, rims, and graphics

It's a GTS at a local dealership. I've seen pictures of similar celicas around the net so i figured maybe it was a production version. it's got the carbon fiber hood, trd exhaust, etc etc.

doesn't sound like standard OEM stock to me...

Looks like...a Celica GTS with custom "F&F" look-alike graphics. If its a Celica at a dealership, either it was in for servicing or somebody who works for Toyota owns it.


Carbon Fiber hood and TRD exhaust are aftermarket. Toyota does NOT sell them that way.

looks like a stock toyota with the celebrity racing graphics on it.

yea i thought it might of been from that celebrity celica race they had but its has a veilside kit. It gotta be somebody that works there or its getting serviced

no, it is NOT the celebrity graphics. Splash graphics for sure, but the celebrity grahics don't go so far back. They are 2 diagonal stripes that "fragment before the door handle. They also have a big TRD on the rear quarter going parallel to the other graphics.

here's a pic

he is right they are not celebrity graphics but eww i dont like the red and yellow in that pic

if you plan on getting a celica please dont get one that has been modded. (unless it is certified by a dealer).
the reason being is that it might have been raced out and you are about to buy a 'dying' car and the dealer might know about this but keep it from you and later blame it on you.

oh, it looks like it is a GT/GTS with the veilside ec-1 body kit with rims and graphics along with the things you said.

it is not a TRD special.

cool cool. thanx for the input guys. Oh and for the record, it's a celica up for sale not someone's. It's a 2001 FULLY loaded so I'm really tempted. Heated seats, leather, heated mirrors, Carbon Fiber hood, you name it. Asking price is $24,800 CND which is a little high but milage is quite low. I think I'm just gonna get a plain GTS and modify it myself. If only it had the 6sp box

this car is in vancouver...the carbon fiber hood doesn't even line up...it has a AEM cold air Intake and the exhaust isn't a trd...it's some universal one welded on. The car is also from the states and the dealership bought it from autoleasebc in richmond...and autoleasebc was only asking $22 900 Oh yea it's a GTS for sure...and i didn't know that the celi came with heated seats and mirrors? Are the heated seats and mirrors an option?

yes

Celica's don't come with Veilside kit or that kind of graphics or even the rims. That's just what the owner (or previous owner) did.

yeah toyota is not that hip to the whole import tuner times we are in

yes you shudd mod it ur self thas more fun
and its 6 gears

yea for sure buy it but then fix it up yourself and take some of that stuff off...bring in your own ideas and make it the pimp mobile
