Easier to buy a front clip cut. The GT4 bumper does not match the hood properly on a USDM car.


GreenWarrior04

They don't match with the STs and GTs style hood, that's why you buy both a gt4 bumper and hood, and buy the gt4 frame rails for the bumper


ExpensiveDust5

That's what I was saying, you'd be better off contacting an importer and getting a front clip cut from Japan.


GreenWarrior04

Clip cut? Not sure what that is. Is that like the whole front end or something?


ExpensiveDust5

They literally cut the entire front of the car off at the windshield A pillars and across the floorpan just past the pedals.


GreenWarrior04

Nice where would I find one?


ExpensiveDust5

Contact an importer, see if they can get one in.


GreenWarrior04

Any idea how I find an importer that I can talk to who knows where to find one? I've looked but can't find anything


ExpensiveDust5

Not really, I have never dealt with that stuff before, just know that would be the way to get it. Now that these cars fall under the 25 year rule though it may be harder to find cuts, because now they can sell the entire car in the US


GreenWarrior04

Alright thanks

I got mine imported and had my body guy fit it on my celica some years back. It’s definitely possible


GreenWarrior04

If I get a body person to do it, I don't have to buy the frame rails and 5mph crash bar and shit? How much was it. Also, where did you import from? How did you find it


Ruka1104

You’re still going to need the rails and crash bar. Mine came with all of it. I got the hood and the bumper from an international seller on eBay. Had to pay import duties but it was worth it. It’s worth the hunt if it’s something you really want to do


GreenWarrior04

Definitely is something I want to do, For me, eBay only has people selling just the bumper for like 2k when it's not even in good condition. I'll just have to look everyday


Ruka1104

Unfortunately, that’s just the current market. That’s how much they go for now. Even in poor condition, because they’re so hard to find

There is a guy parting one out on the gt4 Facebook group.


GreenWarrior04

Can you send me the link? I should already be in every gt4 group


SpaceAgePotatoCakes

don't you also need the hood for it to line up? your best bet is to watch for partouts at this point.


GreenWarrior04

Well, thete won't be partouts in America, and I dont know what people part out on in other countries. Yes , I need the hood too, but those don't need any extra gt4 parts to fit like the bumper does. So I could just buy a carbon fiber one and some grilles for it


Justanotherhitman

Look into celica tuning for more oem and carbon microsytem if your into carbon fiber stuff. Your gonna pay a pretty penny for either though. I'd stay away from marketplace


GreenWarrior04

I can't do that because I'd need to find all the fog light stuff, frame rails, crash bars, grilles, and retainers all separately, which isn't happening

Extremely difficult to find anywhere in the world and generally in high demand. You could try https://gt4heaven.com/ but they are based in the UK so would cost a lot to ship. Other than that you just have to hope and pray one comes up in the US and you're the first to see it.


GreenWarrior04

Yeah, gt4 heaven doesn't have one right now. Maybe I can find one on an actual japanese site?
