This is beyond what I would do with mine, but if I ever did, this would be it lol.Random photos in a garage parking lot haha
wrap color: KPMF Gloss Indulgent Blue
Looks freakin' sick! The wrap color and aero, wheels, etc. all goes together nicely. Great job man

Installed an LED Steering wheel. It was cool and all but too much going on with the main screen and HUD already. Eventually went back to stock for now.
Installing:
-very easy, the red wire i spliced directly into the green wire
-blue wire doesn’t connect to anything
-black is a ground so it connects to the oem screw area
Adjustability of the screen and colors, rpm, etc all done through the steering wheel.
Fancy and all but going to look for a normal carbon steering wheel later. But stock is sleek and smooth for me right now I enjoying it

Swapped out my rexspeed paddles for these amazon ones. I got these mainly because the paddle is carbon all around so more structural rigidity?
Mainly because some reviews of other ones said it was flimsy but those seemed to be the ones with carbon paddle but plastic back base.
Nonetheless, these worked perfect for me and are super sturdy no issues even on track

I don't think I read far enough back to see if you said it but is that the high downforce splitter? If so, that is huge and would not work for street driving around here. Their normal splitter is bad enough.

That blue wrap is phenomenal! I hope you get to park next to stratosphere and refraction Supras so you can compare the colors! Very nice, clean build you've got. Typically not a huge fan of these big, high wings on the MKV but yours pulls it off well!

DIY Project! Painting oem square wheel setup
Grabbed a rear pair oem wheel/tires for daily setup. Squared just feels dial’d in for me
19x10+40 squared
275/35/19 oem tires
Painting:
-320 grit sanded all around (then rinsed/wiped down)
-3coats VHT Primer
-600 grit sanded all around (wiped down)
-3 coats Duplicolor Wheel Paint (WHITE)
-3 coats Spraymax 2K Clear
Used Index cards overlapped to spray, did a very good job. Also masked off valve stem and center bore area and behind the hub
Used a respirator when spraying due to paint fumes. I brought the wheels outside to spray the clear because I didn’t want to risk anything even with a respirator too. Had some overspray dust in the garage I had to clean up but not too much, just sweeped it away.
Ceramic coated:
-2 coats CarPro U.K 3.0
-1 coat Gliss V2
Overall: came out beautiful! Smooth and great paint and clear coverage. Looks amazing overall. Took too long to do, so tedious but worth it in the end!

Some Dominion Raceway fun back on April 8 with Supra friends!
Was able to shake off some rust and PB at 1:31.6. Sub 1:30s very possible next time around!
What I also found was that I had to angle my Verus wing down one hole since adding on the high downforce splitter, which was recommended by Verus. Just cool to notice how much more smooth and stable the car was by one adjustment.
Tons of fun out there and pushing the car hard
