My build thread

[Trojan1992]

Got my painted front reflectors. Was hoping it was like the JCW for installing. Nope, going to have to remove the front bumper to access them as Toyota decided to block the access from the wheel well to piss me off.

I will do it tomorrow as the orange reflectors must die!

It wasn't bad except actually scraping the old glue off. Now my eyes no longer go right to the orange reflector.

Sorry my car is dirty, been windy at the beach this week.

Looks good! Is there a reason you didn't do the rears?

That's got to be my favorite Supra color. Not far off from Phytonic Blue on my BMW (which is also a dirt magnet).

1. I hated the Orange but at least the red matched some things like taillights and calipers

2. I hated the Orange and was fixated on its demise

3. After everyone has said the same thing, perhaps I will.

I need to get my car inspected in a new state so that’s one thing I haven’t done yet, but deleting both the front and back reflectors is on the very top of my to-do list. Looks so much better without these (and is the intended look of the car as can be seen in any other market).

Well thanks to help from the community I used BimmerCode and solved the dim screen BS. Also turned off the Nanny screen, activated ( I think) Video in Motion. I have used this before on my JCW and made the sounds from a Rolls and used different splash screens, force braking ( that is cool) and other things. Going to keep exploring and see what I can find. But having a bright screen was a BIG win.

Well my turn signals finally arrived, dropping off to get painted next week. I did manage a couple of other mods. Hard wired my radar detector and installed some ambient lighting. When you open the door its pure white before gradually changing to any of a number of colors you can select ( in this case blue)

Also going to try out a new product my friend is getting for me, it synches to our trunk opener switch in the door and when you slide your foot under the diffuser it pops the trunk thus eliminating the need to use the key. More on this later.

I am now leading towards F1 Status BBS wheels as my set just finished for my RS3 and is being shipped from Japan. The lead time is insane but they are my favorite wheel and will build to my offset and I can eliminate the spacers. They are expensive but its only money

Love the build!

i'm looking into installing footwell/ambient lighting in mine as well.

What fuse did you tap into? Do they turn on and off automatically when the doors are opened and closed/vehicle off?

waiting for that tuck opening option. sounds like a real good idea!

I found a spoiler I liked, small, more of an accent but I can see it in my rear view mirror.
