I pulled out and hit my rim on the passenger side against the curb. Damn, very frustrating. The Supra is still in excellent condition but the one rim on the edge has the aluminum scratched now. Need to figure out how to repair it. Small insignificant issue in this world. Meaningless in a big way but if I can, would like to fix it.

Take it to a rim repair shop. When I bought mine used, all 4 rims were damaged. I just decided to get them all powder coated for $600.

Drilled some holes for some switches today.

Oh damn, may have to steal your placement idea on this for my meth setup. I put one in the passenger foot well for it, but this is legit

I should run another one over there for meth too. I actually stole it from Norris. He mounts switches under there. You should see @Jesse DaBears It's like a night club under there.

Just curious, what else you running them for?
The one switch I wired in is safety for the line lock. Next to wire are intercooler pump shutoff and meth disable switch. I've seen nitrous, nitrous purge and fuel pump there before as well.

Pics of the damage? Is it on the two-tone OEM rims? If it is you might be lucky. When I first got my car I curbed it too and luckily I found YouTube videos that showed me that you can actually just use really fine sandpaper and sand out the damage, then polish the wheel. That being said, I got lucky because all the damage was on the polished part and not on the black painted part.

Yes, I was thinking that. It is on the edge by the tire, the polished section, not the pained inner part. So the aluminum just needs to be buffed out, polished and then some clear coat put on it.

I replaced my front rotors and pads today with these two-piece slotted rotors from Paragon Brakes and the pads are the Z26 from Powerstop. Still waiting for the rear rotors to arrive. I also picked up a car cover from CarCover.com. This thing feels luxurious and fits pretty nicely even with the Streethunter/Suvneer wing.

Just sand it with really fine grit sandpaper and when the damage is gone use some mothers aluminum mag polish and your good. No clear coat needed. Mine looked good as new. You can’t even tell where the damage was.

i've been looking for race ramps guys.
I haven't bought any yet because i'm always scared that they are to big to fit in front or lift the front to little if they do fit.
Do you have any brand recommendation?
