What do you do if you own a Toyota Celica, but you spend your nights thinking about the Nissan GT-R? Well, if you ask the owner of the Toyota example in the images we have here, the result is to come up with a cocktail that involves both.
To be more precise, the driver of the seventh-generation Celica we have here has decided to turn to the aftermarket side of the industry in order to gift his Toyota with Nissan GT-R front and rear elements.

There are two main elements that stand out here, one from each end of the car - the GT-R headlights add a touch of credibility to what otherwise seems to be a mediocre build. Then we have the C-pillars, with this project going to great lengths in its quest to pass as Godzilla.

The wheels are the weak link of this transformation chain. However, given the time that seems to have been invested into this Toyota, we could expect to see a set of wheel spacers sorting this visual matter out.

Supercar impersonation is a thing

We've started to notice more and more sportscars that... dream big. Fortunately, not all these cars end up deserving the dreaded wannabe tag that fits the Celica we have here so well.

And one recent example of such an identity change involves a Toyota MR2 that received parts from two different cars.

As we discussed back in July, the little Toyota was spotted wearing a Mazda Miata front end - we're talking about the current ND generation of the MX-5. As for the posterior of the MR2, this tries to pass as a... GT-R rear end.

Truth be told, such contraptions are affordable ways of building one's dreams and we're looking forward to coming across new builds of the sort, obviously hoping that they'll fit in the latter category mentioned above.
