Red face Thoughts for a project 6th gen Celica GT

Recently picked up a 'vert, and while not much is done to it at the moment, someone put aftermarket rims and exhaust (sounds nice and deep, actually), I was wondering if anyone had any sources for taillights, clear headlights, things of that nature. I realize my car weighs over a quarter ton, and has a pretty good amount of torque despite that, but figured I'd ask around.

Plans include:
Rims (found some nice ones on TSW's website)
Cold Air Intake/ Short Ram
actual cat-back, or full exhaust system, depending on budget/availability

I thought about a supercharger, as opposed to going the turbo-route, but then came across a question I haven't found online yet. Has anyone had any experience with/negative reports of/etc dropping a 7th gen GTS motor and 6-speed tranny in, and would that actually be worth doing? Just a lot of thoughts for this thing, it is my daily driver, would be awesome to build it up finally.

Check out 6gc.net There is a guy by the screen name vincent doggy that sells the Curren taillights through a company called Kamikaze for the coupe/convertible. I got mine from him for around $230 shipped from Hong Kong and got them in 2 weeks.
