to be honest. there isn't really any for the 1gs unless you get the aristo front bumper.

Would you have to do any major conversion to have the JDM front end?

only difference is the bumper support. the us support is heavier and bulkier. the aristo bumper support is lighter and made out of aluminum.

it's a direct fit. you only have to change the bumper support.

nope, those are for JDM bumpers only. The only lip kit that fits is the TTE (Toyota Technical Europe) lip and that was not even that great looking and costs about 700 shipped; not worth it imho.

Honestly, I think you can mod a lip kit from 2nd gens or from a different car to make it fit but no one has found one or tried it since our cars aren't that popular... for some reason, i have the impression many people see it as the 'poor-man's-lexus'... which it aint.....

Yeah true that but no way in hell is it a poor man's car. Just a rare project separates us from most.

That's what I like about our GS, it's rare and have beautiful lines. Still a great looking car after all these years. Just lowered it with nice wheels and you're set. Then again, you can go for more extreme if you like.

Like I said, separates us from the rest. Beside it's our four door Supra and that's another beautiful thing about it. If I could, I'd pick up another one!

I guessed I'm a lucky guy then because I have a 2 doors Supra and a 4 doors. I wish my 4 doors Supra have the same motor like my 2 doors with 2JZ-GTE instead of 2JZ-GE. Well, at least it is still in the same family just without that little "T" between the "G" and the "E". But that "T" is 100 more horses lol
