I've used Prismatic Triple Bronze in the past on a friend's build, and it is very close to the Work Wheels bronze. Not as golden/brassy as other bronzes, so it nails the JDM Work/Volk look. Nice satin finish. The third and fourth photos on that white Skoda is misleading, because of lighting and...
I hope a manufacturer warranty backed tuning option becomes available. I know Ford Performance offers plug and play tunes for their Mustang, Ranger, and Focus ST, and BMW dealers install Dinan tunes which have factory-matching warranties.
It would be great if the GR Sports exhaust sold in Japan...
@tadda how much did adding the Dynamat actually help with cabin noise? I'm starting to regularly notice the high level of road noise in our Supras. Wonder if changing from the Michelin PSS to all seasons could also help with road noise.
Don't think you'll be comfortable. I'm 6'3" 180 lbs and fit fine, but anyone I know over 220 lbs feels cramped.
I would look into something with a more roomy driver's seat like a Porsche BMW M2 or M4, or Audi RS5. If you're into domestic muscle, the GT350 is great too.
Purchased this one and it's a good fit and looks the part:
The double sided tape is quite forgiving, so if you mess up the alignment, you can peel it off and re-stick it. I recommend aligning the bottom with the existing plastic, not pushed hard against the floor (helps with sliding the carpet...

A lot of the fan created Supras are better than the official set...
The website also helps you source the parts of each creation to make your own. It can also help you order the yellow parts in different colors to change...
Has anyone tried removing the black from the stock wheels (chemical stripping or sandblasting, then machining/polishing), and having the wheels in a fully machined finish? Maybe with a clear coat after. Should have a much more crisp and realistic metal look than a silver powder coat.

Has a good number of possible square setups listed.
I'm also curious, it has caught my eye especially with the wide amount of sizes offered. Aside from the winter handling, just 9k miles on the stock Michelins is a pretty short lifespan - the DWS 06 Plus should give you double or triple that. They say from their testing and R&D it should be...
A lot of other Japanese tuning companies such as HKS, Blitz, A'PEXi, TOMS, Cusco, etc have already taken their crack at developing products for the MKV Supra with exhausts, intakes, suspension, bracing, body kits, etc. But for some reason, GReddy/TRUST, one of the most famous Japanese tuners...
Thank you! I'm a huge Land Cruiser nut. The LC and Supra make a nice pair. We used to have an FZJ80 also, and I see in your sig you're also a Porsche fan. We have a lot in common!
One thing I have wondered, is why they call the 2.0 a "GR" Supra, and why it has the GR badge. I was under the impression that GR is the sportier trim, with GRMN being the top high level trim.
Similar to BMW's standard models, M performance, and then standalone M models (which they also do for...
Tracked down some part numbers (I think) for the G29 Z4 spec wide-angle, heated, blind spot monitoring mirrors:
Left Side: 51-16-8-492-905
Right Side: 51-16-9-479-192
Here's part numbers for the auto-dimming versions (not sure if these versions have blind-spot monitoring, but they are...
