Celica Forums General Discussion General engine plastics

ive seen a lot of pictures of celica's that have the plastic cover for above the manifold and i was wanting to know where you can buy that i havent been able to find it

IPT sells a carbon fiber one.

If you want OEM parts, get them from toyota.

id perfer a black one 2 match the rest of the plastic covers under the hood

so i should call my dealer to get one?

yes and which one do you not have?

the diffent years have dif plastics styles, newer ones have small parts that stick out over the intake manifold, older celi's don't cover the manifold at all just on top of the block

i have an 03 gts this is the part i want

$10.00 here at the ecelica store:

thats for the stickers i need the plastic cover

you want the whole plastic right?... you have to go to your dealer or post a WTB in the for sale forums.

u have ne idea how much the dealer charges

not a clue... i would try the for sale forum first... it'll be a ot cheaper.

yup^^ put a wtb thing up

Hopefully you have enough sense to get one with VVTL-i on it.

For the GT - its about $50 from your local Toyota Dealership

heres a picture of exactly what im talking about and this is for a 03 gts not a gt

how does your celica not have that on it??

go to your dealer and order it.

thats what mine looks like it has the plastic piece over the cylinder heads but nuthin that covers the rest and when i look at other celica's most of them have a plastic engine cover piece that covers everything and thats the piece i want the piece that covers the red circle on that picture

The part you circled isn't a cover panel, it's the Cylindar head?

Did you mean the black plastic peice below what you circled? The part that says "VVTL-I" in silver? In any case, I would reccomend that you check your local junk yard to see if you can get it off a wrecked Celica. That will save you some money vs the dealer ship.

The celica GT and Celica GTS have two differen engines - so this is why you sometimes see pictures with the engine compartments looking different.

The picture that you posted at the top of this thread that says "V V T - i" is the engine from a CELICA GT...

The picture that you posted posted below it which says "V V T L - i" is the engine from a CELICA GTS...

i know they have to different motors and everything but what your telling me is that they only make the plastic piece that covers everything for the gt and just the smaller piece that covers the cylinder heads for the gts

so far the only thing ive seen is the Injen spark plug cover plate but i havent seen a pic of what it looks like on a car but is that the only 1 that there is for a gts

There is nothing for the cylander head... unless you're looking for a Spark Plug Cover

There are several more pictures in the gallery...
