What did you do to your Supra today?

[J29DB03]

I do not need this. I do not need this. Stop posting I do not need another impulse buy.

It’s just a couple loonies and maybe a toonie or two. Just get it.

 

[Supra Jr.]

Yeah, but actually they're quite worth it. Those are next on my list.

Open to silencing the little brats at the next car show when they try to show their friend how the Supra sucks because "iT hAs FaKe VeNtS eVeRyWhErE"

I'm sorry $179 for 5" of plastic with holes in it is not worth it, but people like you buying will keep the price nice and inflated!!

Between the exhaust and now this, are you sure you bought the right car?

Broke down and finally bought this. Now that it's in, the price IS worth it!

~ I added this as well. Looks great with a pop of color.

Installed an OLM CF engine cover, and painted the factory strut braces.

HKS HIPERMAX springs on default setting with usual supra spec 19s 9.5 +25 and 10.5 +35 tires 265 35 & 305 30

The wheels and stance are perfect imo. Question though: Why a taller sidewall for the front tires?

it adds another layer of depth. I really like it. Worth it.

He's right though. Some of these bits and pieces are a complete rip-off.

While I agree in principle that the nature of a lot of these parts for our cars are expensive for the level of value they actually provide...the reality is low volume custom parts are expensive to develop, have made and shipped, and then the person who created wants to turn a profit (and deserves it). So while the "real looking fake vents" for $179 might really run $40 if there were 100,000 units being sold per year, there are probably considerably less than 1,000 sets that will be sold ever of these. It likely wouldn't make financial sense to sell the same product even at $139 (now maybe it would but there is literally no competition). The same principle likely applies to the exhausts that cost $2.5k on our car when roughly the same thing runs $1.5k on another car. Don't get me wrong I would love to be paying more reasonable amounts for the bits and pieces but I also appreciate the fact I have an uncommon car where I rarely see another on the road.

TLDR: I bought both sets of the real look fake vents and they were 100% worth it to me. The rest is just economics.

I don't disagree. I'm more annoyed at $170 plastic triangles to stop wind buffeting, etc.

Decided to head out for a quick drive around the Death Star.
May the Fourth be with you....Always!

Put some freshie pads and freshie rotors on

Turner skid plate and new diff fluid check . Not that I plan to off road but… some track run off areas are worse than others. And poor @Jesse DaBears. I’ll be emailing him, remember me, lol. I actually need a tune down ?. See if we can find one I can run all day on track in schweaty Florida. I will say my current custom street map 6 is insanely fun & fast!

On the way to the track this weekend aaaaaaaaandd half of my skid plate just ripped off and sheared while driving on the interstate and the rest started flapping around. I had to make a pitstop at a harbor freight on the way to grab some tools to remove it. I remembered seeing your post and just went to look to buy the Turner one but it's not for sale anywhere that I can find. I did find a replacement OEM one on ebay so I'll have to settle with that for now.
