Different between front bumper...

[fridza]

Hi guys!

i'm from Malaysia, driving celica GT-S, i have a question on the front bumper, i found that there are 2 types:

1. the bumper wit bigger/wide hole (the one with the toyota emblem)

2. Smaller

so what's the different between them?

I think your just talking about the '00-'02 bumbers and the '03 bumpers.

I think Toyota just wanted to try out a different look to try to attract more customers.

IMO the 03 facelift looked the old bumper stretched out with Botox or something. the TRD front is my favorite though.

The TRD bumper is one of the very few bumpers out there that actually works with the style of the car.

I drive a 2004 Celica and I didn't realize my front lip was different from the older Celicas lol. However i do like this new design better, it just looks cooler on my car tis all.
