What did you do to your Supra today?

[SupraDC]

I had tried doing some of my own vinyl accents but working with knifeless tape proved to be a little more difficult than expected and I couldn't get clean lines that I was happy with. I removed that this weekend and replaced it with 1/2" and 1/4" vinyl stripes on a roll and am much happier with the result. Turning corners with it was a bit more difficult but the straight edges on the stripes are a lot more crisp.

dude....this looks great! where did you get the stripes?

 

[SupraDC]

I got the same one here, I cant get the stock one out. I have even scratched my stock button and the part around it...

If you haven't.... wipe the button with half rubbing alcohol, half water. I had an awful time getting mine off, but once i cleaned off my greasy prints, popped out on the third pull.

Thanks, I was trying to copy a similar supra I saw a proshop do. I got them on amazon. I used the 1/2" strip on the side skirts, mirrors, and front and 1/4" on the back and hood body line.

Been playing with some red alcantara. Just got this bit done. Mainly because I always hit my knee on that part and that plastic hurts like a mofo. Tried to get the other side off but apparently, there’s a screw or a bolt holding that part in place. So I guess I need to figure out where else I want to put some red on it before taking the entire console apart.
Overall, I like it. Gives the interior a bit more color than just black. esp with the red exterior.

I figure I can decide what to do by the weekend. When I have some spare time to work on it.
I’ll prob add it on the arm rest and the passenger side of the knee pad.
Not sure about the doors yet. Not sure I can make a decent looking cut without messing up the leather or pleather or whatever the hell that part is made out of.

Looks good so far! That part stands out a LOT - but it looks like you did an awesome job! I'm sure it will look fantastic when you're done. I'm thinking about doing the shiny black bits in alcantara soon - just not sure which color.

Really didn't like that stock steering wheel so changed it out. Love the look and feel of the new wheel.

I was in that same boat, used a bunch of different tools/3m tape but ultimately had to buy clay bar and worked no problem

I was today at a foiling company and asked that guy for some help. I took a new sticky clay bar and we tried to get that button out. We have also tried to heat it up with a heat gun. After 45 minutes we gave up... I really dont know what to do. On YouTube works everything fine, but not for me, its crazy. I want that stupid button.

Looks great! Quick question ... I have the same red ring setup but the volume ring didn't fit. Did yours? If so, can you link?

I was LOSING my mind trying to get my button out. I used clay from amazon and made sure to clean the button with rubbing alcohol swabs. Let it dry and swabbed it again. Let dry and came out on the third pull. Good luck!

Looks really nice, the german flag stripes at the top are making me chuckle. Where did you get those red accents for the a/c dial and navigation dial?

Those are TRD colors

Ah well then still bonus points for the coincidence in coloring. I did find those knob trims on aliexpress, just gotta find the navigation wheel one.

I LOVE THIS WHEEL! Where did you get it and does it scream "OEM quality"?

I got a good deal on some Work Meister s1 3p's (3 piece). I was back and forth on the BC Forged MLE 81's, and the Work wheels, but The price was right for the Works. They should be here by April 2022.

I couldn’t do that wait - but it will be well worth it! Those things will look amazing on the Supra.
