What did you do to your Supra today?

[lucky phil]

What do you call it when it's not glass? Maybe another fiber like aramid?

GRP has been used as a term for glass reinforced plastic for so long and I think was originally abbreviated that way to separate it from a moulded plastic component back in the day. Now it's a term to also distinguish it from a "Carbon fibre" or Kevlar or Kevlar/Carbon or any other reinforcement mix in a plastic matrix. They all come under the general umbrella of "composites" these days and from there you need to distinguish the material used in the identification. After that with structural stuff you need to identify the supporting material such as foam sheet or aluminium honeycomb cores none of which is used in road car carbon panels that I'm aware of.
Apart from my composite work in aviation I also made bodywork and tank from GRP for a project bike I made. I made the bucks, moulds and final tank seat and fairing for this Italian frame with Japanese engine. Don't be too harsh on me now when you look at the design. It was the 1980's and I had far less experience and infostructure than I have now.

Trying to survive NC/TN roads. Day 2 and 2nd M2 destroyed in dramatic fashion. Luckily both occupants walked out without a scratch.

Another wannabe racecar driver/touge master ?

Glad they were okay at least.

Yeah when people think traction control & DSC is all that. Showed this to my daughter & her fiancé. Time to get them both back out & do some HPDE. It really helps in those ”what if” situations.

I usually work weekends, but had time off today, so on with the Max Orido lip!

Boss is skeptical, but happy it colormatches his toy.

how is the fitment and is drilling required? cost? can you share some front on pics? thanks.

The fitment was 100% perfect—no drilling or modifications were needed, as it uses the preexisting screws and push tabs located under the OEM lip.

I ordered both the front lip and rear wing spoiler from RHDJapan. The total cost was approximately 171,000 JPY, including DHL shipping. I believe that’s around 1,200 USD. Import taxes will come on top of that.
I skipped the side skirts because the shipping cost alone for those was over 600+ USD.

Interestingly, the shipping actually became a bit cheaper when I selected the front lip and end fins separately in their webshop. For some reason, the combined listing for both the lip and fins had a higher shipping cost.

Btw, they have a summersale with 7% off all items atm! Code is: SummerFlashSale2025

Did NCM stuff with Hooked On Driving and met the EveryDay Driver owners. Only had one session the entire weekend as I was busy keeping the event running smoothly and smoking meat.

How much does that 7th headlight help when coming around a corner at night? Can you even notice it doing anything?

yeah they were made for my car and I helped with the design. their name is my initials (with an X added on the end)
