Sorry bro but I'm gonna have to go with OEM because if you look at any '97, they all have the clear turn signals. Which I like anyway, I'm glad they did that instead of keeping the orange lens...dont like them at all!

Dang, I like my orange turn signals lol. Having fun with your Celica yet? I love mine but I just wish it had more power, I haven't began the modding process yet but I plan to do subtle things like slight drop, nothing too serious. I really need a clutch replacement so most of the $$ is going towards keeping it look and run like new. If I keep the car long enough it may become a project for a 3S-GTE swap.

Thats cool. Yeah idk havnt modded anything right now. But I still love driving it. I think I'm going to slowly evolve it into the SS-III. I like how those cars look and I've got the sides and the right body style, I just need the splitters and the spoiler and it'll look pretty close. Probly gotta get the SS-III grille too.

Lol, well I might change it later after I get my SS-III body parts (splitters, and spoiler) but as of now I'm not changing it.

nice find, I have been looking for 1 for 3 weeks. I think I am going to have to settle for an ST locally since I am getting tired of renting, I drove the ST, OMG 105 hp is sooooooooooooooooo slow. I used to drive a 91 MR2 and love the celica's of this gen, the new celicas are fugly.

Agreed. 6th gen Celica's ftw. Since you have an ST there are a few threads on 6gc.net that walk you through turbo-ing the 7A-FE. Or you can go 4A-GE/4A-GZE swap if you're looking for more power.
