Thanks for the review. Iâve been looking for something to replace those badges. Maybe Iâm thinking the GR logo instead of a Toyota one. Still lookingâŚ.
Stage 1ď¸âŁ Mods

Oh thatâs bad. I bought a base model, so CarPlay was not an option for me. But you are right: the dealers are useless as they donât care basically once the car is sold.
In my case, itâs been 6 months and my car still does not show up as imported into the US so the Toyota app is not...

2. Requires tools: disassembling and replacing...

â change to dual horn
âWhy: design flaw on the Supra. Horns should be dual tone. Normally when a car honks, You are hearing 2 horns instead of 1. The Supra was equipped with only one (high tone). This might have been the ultimate prank on the Supra fan base. It sounds...
I agree with the general opinions here. Seems a bit rushed.
My personal opinion is to do power mods last. Car should be learned at stock power levels. You wonât be able to put all the power of the car on the ground until you get a good amount of seat time.
So there is no rush to get a 700hp...
Stage 1ď¸âŁ Mods
â Add 4th F1 style brake light
âWhy: Toyota missed big making the North American release with a big white LED cluster that ONLY works on reverse (a short fraction of the time the car is rolling), the rear bumper looks inert with that gigantic light off all the time.

In general, 18 square will be fine even with aggressive track/street set up and OEM stock springs.
