Im not a fan of it either, however, I will do my best to help you out. Basically, you would need to be good at sheet metal work, as well as finerglass work. Take your fd lights out n try to measure where you want them, youd need to cut your hood to line up with the lights, then cut your bumper and fiberglass a bucket that has some sort of a mount so th elight can bolt in. same with the fender , you will need tabs. Then do some nice bodywork and paint, thats teh gist of it, pretty easy once you think abou tit. I do bodywork for aliving, and, that doesnt seem to tough to do. But be lookin at some time and lots of money if u take it to a shop.

because an rx7 and a celica aren't even comparable.

So from a guy that does bodywork for a living, it "doesnt seem too tough" lol. I guess the final verdit is it's gonna be costly if you take it to a shop, but if you decide you want to take on the challenge yourself then be prepared to do a pretty good amount of bodywork, and know how to make some mounting brackets. Thanks for all the help guys.
