Echo what Jmanlevan says about composition. I'd love to see you crop that first photo to remove some of both the ground and sky to make it more a banner style photo.

Otherwise great lighting and focus. The background could be blurred a little more with a bit more bokeh, but that would need a shorter focal length and might put some details of the car out of focus too. Shooting during the golden hour is just such a cheat code to great photos!

Its the 2025 GR Supra M-GRMN Hyper Edition.

It has a V12 created by combining two 2JZ engines, quad turbos, and a 10 speed manual transmission. Total power is 1500 hp.

It will be only a $1 option, dealers arent allowed to markup, and Toyota will make as many as are ordered.

Dude! Your car looks awesome! Such a clean build, the advans look great. Simple but sporty. I need more photos of that ADRO swan neck wing....looks so good!

I too, love HKS products. Just got their intake kit with the enclosed box! Jealous how you're going all in on HKS with your build.

As far as photography tips go, your exposure looks pretty good, highlights might be a little blown out in the sky at the bottom in the 2nd photo but thats hard to avoid sometimes. I think something that would help visually is if you followed the rule of thirds and didn't put the car in the dead center of the frame. Following the rule of thirds will help compositionally and make the photo more interesting. IDK why, but it just looks better. For both of these photos, I personally would have moved the car to the bottom third and right third of the frame. But hey, that's just me! Happy shooting!

Thanks so much for the feedback! I definitely hear y'all on the rule of thirds aspect and will practice it when I shoot again later this week. I did learn about the rule of thirds during my research but what I struggle with is learning what to prioritize if I'm shooting photos specifically for Instagram (which I was here). Some people compose differently for IG due to how photos are displayed on their profiles. For example, my car would be mostly hidden if I put it on the lower right third of the photo. I did try utilizing the rule of thirds from a vertical perspective by keeping the car more on the lower third of the photo, but it's likely not low enough? Maybe I'll just ignore shooting for IG and learn to shoot good photos first.

@Jmanlevan I'll get more pics of the wing when I go practice again!

That makes sense, I hear what you're saying because of the tile effect of how photos are posted on the instagram page. Yeah thats tough. I say shoot both ways! haha that's the beauty of digital photography nowadays. You're only limited by the space on your card as opposed to the amount of shots on a roll!

How are you liking that ADRO wing? Any issues with water leaking into the trunk from the holes?

I really love the wing! I feel it compliments the curves of the Supra well if it's angled down. It flows with the trunk imo. I'm not a huge fan of the flatter orientation.

I do wish it was slightly higher though, because it blocks a lot of the rear view. ADRO confirmed they're making new brackets that will allow it to sit higher, so I'm likely going to pre-order those. No issues with water leakage so far. I've washed it a few times and driven it through heavy rain once since installation.

I didn't know you could adjust the angle! Yeah it really flows well. The underside of the endplate looks to match the angle of the built in duckbill on the trunk

Finally used up the tires that came with the wheels I bought off another forum member. Really glad to go back to 35 sidewalls and also upgrade to PS4S. A new 7/11 is being built right down the road from work and they're pretty much finished. They haven't opened so nobody is there by the time I get out of work so I stopped by for a second to take a quick picture.

I've never really considered a spoiler but man that looks awesome. Bloody expensive though! ?

Any chance you can take a pic of what the rear view looks like from inside please?

Finally got around to installing the Rexpeed wing I received about 2 months ago lmao. Baby also crossed 5k miles so did her second oil change and decided to do an alignment and cross rotate.

To mine and the techs surprise, the front driver wheel was pretty off (misplaced the alignment sheet, yay me), so pretty happy I had it checked and corrected.

Anyone have any good recommendations on car covers? As the honorable Ned Stark said, winter is coming, and I am going to be driving the dadsmobile more often.

Happy holidays to the Supra fam!
