if you just talk about exterior, then yes it has the jdm bumpers front and back so you can easily get any jdm body kits and they will fit no problem.

Haha don't we all wish. And theres no such thing as a 2JZ-GTTE. Toyota designations for engines aren't like Nissan and the RB26DETT.

It's simply the 2JZ-GTE (Twin Turbo) that the Supra and Aristo are available with. And of course retrofittable for a JCE10!

Yes the Gita is 2JZ-GE powered.

Exclamation wanted blue manual IS300; possible 2JZGTTE swap

anyone know if its possible to put a twin turbo in an IS? the 2JZGTTE? if theres enough space? also, if its good to have an auto or manual for that? i was thinkin about doin just a single turbo upgrade, but its about the same price as an engine swap. and some twin turbos come with 6 spd trannys, so im not sure what to do.

im lookin for a 01'-02' blue IS300 manual. (not positive if the 01' model came with manual)
