He's right.

Rome would not have fallen if it had this thread's level of gatekeeping.
I feel for this dude. He got hosed. Not everyone is a car enthusiast or knows what to look for, and just wants a cool car.
The screen is very easy to remove once you get the rearward speaker grille off. Throw some rubber washers under the screws and throw some 1/8" foam tape between the metal/metal contact areas.
NVS is, hands down, the best fitment. Unquestionable fitment. The best carbon I've ever touched for a car. Rexpeed parts are okay but sometimes leave 1-2mm gaps if it's an overlay. They're good, but not perfect like NVS.
Custom tuning after a downpipe can be advantageous for performance, but it is not required. That said: it is considered wise to withhold custom tuning until you're done installing power adders. This ensures you get the most from those components. You can run one of the prebuilt tunes on the JB4...
Try 539.06. Also make sure you're buying cables that are specifically certified and listed on the VESA DisplayPort website. These cables sustain an insanely high data rate over (electrically speaking) very long lengths, and most non-cert cables can't hack it.

Video dropout on GeForce is probably a shoddy DisplayPort cable, especially if it's variable refresh rate. There was also a hotfix driver released recently to address intermittent display blanking on DisplayPort Adative-Sync panels.
It's probably not the card. GeForce just isn't very good at...
Seat belt replacement is very easy. You pop 2-3 panels off, undo the black/green plugs on the retractor, unbolt the belt from the chassis, and reverse to install new. Make sure battery is unhooked for this since the Supra has explosive emergency pretensioners; better safe than sorry.
If you...
A correction in the Ethanol section>
You might hear of E30, E40, E50 all the way up to E85. Those numbers indicate octane content, and how much pump gas is mixed in with the E85 or ethanol.
This is unclear or potentially misleading. The Exx notation only indicates the ethanol percentage of the...
The bolts marked one-time-use are torque-to-yield (TTY) fasteners. I would do some Google searching on this topic and decide your level of risk for yourself.
Suffice it to say: once removed, they will never hold at the correct level of torque again, as they've been permanently stretched by the...
