2021 Supra 3.0 Premium - Turbulance Gray
Canards and Splitter are Verus Engineering. CF lip replacement is a prototype from Suvneer. It's pretty garbage, but was testing fitting for them. Not sure if he's going to put more effort into, but I'd really like it if it fit a little better.
Ah, okay. the look of it is nice. I wasn’t noticing any fitment issues when I first saw the photo. Do you think it has any functional downforce?

Awesome! i do about 3 a month.
What area are you? Link up with fellow Zupras trackies. I try an invite local fb supras to my track all the time.
I’m in Michigan, I frequent a smaller track called Waterford Hills at least once a month and try to fit in a different track the same month, usually Grattan. Just went to GingerMan yesterday and it’s a blast and challenging since it requires more time on throttle which I am not used to. Was chasing a bunch of brand new GT500’s and GT350’s.

Very few Supra’s around here, haven’t seen any at the track yet. Whenever I do meet someone with a Supra, I always let them know about the tracks.

Oh, 100%. Verus products are incredibly well-engineered. Here is the information packet on the front splitter. I also have the diffuser, the information packet is available for that on their website as well.

Ah, I misread your other post. Yes, the Verus splitter is for sure a well engineered product and is what I will be getting down the road. For some reason I thought you said the splitter was the prototype, sorry!

Na, just that carbon fiber factory black piece replacement or whatever.

It was my body shop that was quoting the service manual for the Supra when they informed me that the calibration would need to be done, but definitely interested in everyone else's experiences with it. I'd like to find that documentation as well.

The dealership invoices the work, not the body shop, so the body shop doesn't profit from it. It wouldn't make sense for the body shop to suggest something unnecessarily if they're not the ones profiting.

I've also heard this referenced in tuner installs on YouTube but can't for the life of me find the video talking about it.

If you go by the book, anytime you mess with the bumper, windshield, or alignment, you need a calibration. The dealer is obligated to tell you that, so that if you opt out, any malfunction of the system won’t fall on them.
Does it actually need calibration? Probably not, unless you’re specifically messing with the radar, accidentally bump it hard, etc. anything to throw off the alignment of it, which is adjustable.

Disconnect battery
Take front off and on at will. No reprogramming necessary. Have had mine off like 3 times now

Yeah that's a fair point. I figured it was something like that, but also wasn't sure to what degree the sensors' complexity dictated how optional the suggestion was. Driver assist and all that stuff is new to me, so definitely out of my depth

The body shop mentioned that and that it would PROBABLY be fine. Would definitely save time and effort! Ha
