My Pewter Supra Build Log

[nibble]

One other thing to add... these wheels were in my living while waiting for spacers to come. during that time, I put 3 coats of CMX, 24 hours between each coat, hoping that it will yield easier wheel cleaning after track days.

It worked! Although it wasn't just hose it and done, cleaning was much easier than my other set that did not have any coat. rubber pieces were taken out with water hose and with just few stroke with brush, wheels were clean and no brake pad deposit. now I need to find out how long this is going to last..

3m calls it Matte Silver Aluminum.. But I think it contains a bit of other color.. people asked me what color is it and my best answer was... "Gray..."

how would you name this color?

Didn't Toyota already called this "Phantom Gray"?

Phantom gray has blue tone. this matte gray has bronze tone.

me and my friend wrapped it ourselves to save some money. few shops quoted between 4K ~ 7K. my cost was much less than that.

btw, AZP is a great shop! I go to their track day as well.

Are you tunning a lot of rake or something? That diffuser is not installed correctly otherwise.

instead of saying it's not correct, say what not correct.

Sorry, I wanted to make sure you were not running rake before commenting. It was early, apologies.

So, the front of the car side looks like it's probably properly installed, but the fins on the bottom should run parallel to the ground, lifting the tail up a bit. The rear corners should align with the factory rear spats.

Sorry for the photo, it's the best I have right now. That's the same Verus diffuser. My guess is that your diffuser was installed using the same length spacers for all for of the rear most points, when the outside two should use smaller spacers to pull the whole thing up. This will provide the most downforce possible.

Oh man. Sorry to see that happen! It looks like a bad case of a driver forgetting how big his truck is
