OP, do you care about protecting your wheel or wanting to look like the wheels on the Porsche?
If it’s the latter, there are much better ways to achieve that look.
If it’s the former, go look up how much it costs to replace an OE wheel. Maybe that will help you keep a safe distance from curbs...
Keep fighting. You have lots of great pics to post on all the relevant review locations.
See if XPEL can back you. I’m sure they bad not want installers representing them like this.
Don’t get too worked up over it (enjoy the car), but if you hassle them enough, I’m sure you’ll get more back.
How experienced are you with drifting already? You mentioned other motorsports and a decade off. And you mentioned you’re worried about a couple clutch kicks which implies you haven’t kicked it (in this car) yet?
I was going to suggest just sending it if you haven’t already. It will do just...
No way your bolt ons netted you more than 10hp alone. Only your DP would result in any gains, and those gains are marginal at best: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/cg-precision-ds-1-catted-downpipe-only-log-review-dragy.13284/post-197795
Your extra power is coming from tuning and fuel.

I know you said besides the MST v2, but I find it hard to believe there’s a better value in terms of sound vs price. Admittedly, some other options look nicer, but I wanted loud turbo noises, and the MST absolutely delivers.
Just listen to it…

Look at safety as a system, not pieces.
Harness + HANS
OR
OEM belt + airbags
Think about what would happen to your neck in a collision where you’re strapped in a harness with no HANS.
Were you interested in rocking a helmet + HANS on your spirited (street) drives?
Need to control for class and price, IMO. Go ahead and compare it to a $55-60k sports car from another manufacturer. I see where you’re coming from, but when controlling for the factors above, your alternatives are basically a mustang or half a cayman.
I think the Supra is a very nice place to...
Yeah, it’s super weird. One would think that something would persist (I mean, I’m glad it’s not). Not sure if it matters, but what year is your car? Mine is a 2020.
From a stop:
TC off
Clutch in
Shift to 1st
Rev to 2-4k depending on your comfort
When you’re ready, swift release of the clutch while giving more throttle
Practice/modify the last two until you don’t bog nor spin.
Outside of the general steps, it’s a game of feeling and super rewarding when...
Soaking the ground can also prevent dust and dirt blowing up later.
I once used a magic eraser on my OEM wheel face (past car). On that day, I learned that a magic eraser is just fine sandpaper with a marketing twist.
