Like many other Toyotas, the Celica GT-Four is considered a niche tuning car. As impressive as its WRC heritage is, the Celica GT-Four has been unable to become a mainstream tuning car like the Silvia, Skyline, Supra, your JZX Tourer V. This of course doesn't mean that crazy builds have not been done. Aftermarket support is available from major tuning brands. Exhaust, Suspension, Aero Parts, and more are available to build up your own unique Celica GT-Four.
