don't give me a GT3RS chubby right now, I'm trying to work

ignore the eyeball measured Dremel cuts. Gotta make it work before I can waterjet the final parts

nylon webbing arrives tomorrow and I'll finish up the prototype and fine tune the inside portion

that's rude.

I have the internal mechanicals in mind, I'll do my best to muster my best Porsche level without the cost

Yes that's the point, also sex appeal.

the origin is from racing and wearing gloves where it's hard to manipulate the small interior handles, especially when you're upside down and the car is on fire.

so traditionally it's made of bright colors that's easy to identify by both the driver and track crews
So you have to be upside down and on fire to fully enjoy the product? :D

Opening quickly with gloves on would be a major benefit.
That would get me interested.
A negative I'm finding about this car, is that some of the parts that I would like to use don't serve much purpose but are priced like race car parts LOL
I.E. I was looking up painted pieces of plastic to replace the reflectors on my front and rear bumpers. $250 for four pieces of plastic? No thanks. I think I can live with the reflectors 😂😂
Such is the dress up game, I suppose. Bleh lol

Yeah the hard park up-charge is real. The more demand the more the price. If I go that route on anything and am unreasonable please let me know

The fact that you are doing this to your Supra, showing us the process, from your “driveway lab” is brilliant! I’ll definitely be buying something from you 🇺🇸

Yup i wrapped my rear reflectors satin black for super cheap for this very reason.

Those side markers tho? Good luck to any of us getting those to paint match at good prices smh

A friend of mine does paint so is getting me my yellow. I have to fix the front of the car where a dealer put holes for a license plate. I may as well paint over the reflectors, too.

Is this bright enough?

Orange is the color I use for all my stuff. Can we make requests? LOL Otherwise, I say it's awesome. Will it be detachable to wash? Or easy to replace with spares? I work on my cars a lot and may or may not have trouble remembering to wash my hands before touching stuff.
