Anyone see any orange 45th anniversary Supras on the road?

[CafeRacerQueen]

I have or have had quite a few limited edition or rare cars or bikes over the years and very few have been numbered. Here they are:

1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Daytona 500 Pace Car - #1321/1500
2005 Pontiac GTO - 1 of 347 in Blue/Blue/M6/ (not numbered or plaqued)
2006 Ducati Paul Smart1000 - 1 of 2000
2006 Ducati Sport1000 - 1 of 335 in Burnt Yellow
2008 Ducati Sport 1000 - 1 of 98
2015 Triumph Thruxton Ace Cafe Edition 1 of 325
2020 Triumph Bobber TFC #404/750
2020 BMW M4cs - 1 of 200 in Melbourne Red (not numbered or plaqued)
2022 Triumph Scrambler 1200 Steve McQueen Edition #758/1000
2023 Triumph Thruxton Chrome Edition (production numbers not yet available )
2024 Toyota Supra 45th Anniversary Mikan/M6 1 of 900 (1 of 450 Mikan)

They all should be serialized, but I’ve since realized that’s just how it goes sometimes. But in the end who cares? We only live once and that shit won’t matter to us at all when we’re older, someone else can worry about it.

So that in mind, I decided today that I’m going to take off my door badges as soon as I get the opportunity. They just break up the body lines on the sides in a way that just doesn’t appeal to me.

numbered or not, doesn’t matter to me, stock or not doesn’t matter to me. It’s mine and I’m having it exactly in my personal flavor.

In the end, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I see quite a few Battleship grey vehicles out there - proof!

This picture I took of mine the other day when it was overcast I really feel captures exactly what my eyes see.. it’s not red at all, but between a yellow tinted orange and a red leaning orange, it leans slightly red, but has an extremely subtle yellow flake or pearl that gives it a little more sizzle in bright light.

Really glad you commented like that. I've been trying to zoom on all these photos to see if there is any flake in the paint but nothing is hi enough res for me to tell on any of the photos. Makes me want this more than a premium stratosphere

The metal flakes in the paint are among the smallest I have ever seen. It's not easy to see them in photos.

Funny right after I commented on my previous post I saw this picture right after. Definitely will plan on trying to get one of these comes spring if any are still around and they will sell it at msrp

Looks to be the same as Absolute Zero. Looks like normal white 95% of the time unless light hits it just right and the subtle pearl comes out.

Exactly.

Dammit… not quite a match but close enough.

my nail tech had a laugh that I wanted orange during what will be December, so we added snowflakes

If you remove a painted component from your car and bring it to Home Depot, they can color-match it, perfectly.

Bruh, I want Mikan blast nail polish so much, you have no idea

The only thing that wouldn't be included is the tiny metal flakes, but other than that, it would be a very close match. I've done a couple of times for the carbon fiber second hand paint on my Fitness Clock. Half of the second hand matches the clock face color.

So glad y’all are digging it so much. Almost 2 yrs later, I still feel the same way with mine

one thing that was VERY disappointing me to. yes our cars are 1 of 900 ever produced. Why not number them individually ?

Because that would be too much like right! What we should do is build a registry with everyone's cars and at the very least make sure there is exactly 900 made and not 1 more!

I own a 1 of 2000 Ducati Paul Smart1000 LE in which 2283 were actually produced. They all have a 1 of 2000 badge just like our 1 of 900.

Also, I changed my wing to the track position. Very little change.

can’t wait for the aftermarket to come up with taller wing stand-offs. Then we can have easy the big tall track adjustable wing they promised us.

lower picture in each composite I took is the “track” position and upper is “street”
