Phantom Matte Gray Supra project

Upgraded the steering wheel to a bottom flat carbon fiber one from VQcarbonCustoms, the steering wheel is MUCH better than the oem one and makes you feel more in control of the car! The color is not a 100% accurate with the red interior but closer to a 90%.

The item was well packed and shipping was fast, quality is excellent.

The worst part was taking off the oem steering wheel, taking off the airbag (center part) was a bit tricky and took sometime.

This is a great purchase, highly recommended!

Since I was going to upgrade the steering wheel I decided to change the peddles as well, I bought a carbon fiber peddles from Shifterz and the quality is perfect! The packaging is also fantastic.

I went with the white +/- so it matches the white engraving on the steering wheel during daytime.

Took me a while to choose a lip kit for my car and decided to go with Maxton Design lip kit, the black color of the kit will go along nicely with the oem black parts + the low weight (shipment was only 3kg).

All the parts arrived with the necessary screws, no damage to any part. The manual could be better because it's a generic manual that is being supplied with every part regardless which can you own.

Huge shout out goes to Royal Body Kits for supplying the kit, excellent customer service. The current lead time to produce the kit is around 3 weeks.

The parts come without holes pre-drilled, so you'll have to do the drilling yourself or by a professional.

I went with the following:
V2 Front lip - No drilling needed but 3M or silicon is needed to secure the sides of the lip to the body.
V1 side skirts - Drilling is necessary, 10 screws on each side.
V1 rear side splitters - Drilling is encouraged but you can secure them with 3M or silicon, 2 drilling screws on each side.

Front lip and side skirts come with Maxton Design stickers and can be removed easily.

After installation, I used XPEL stealth PPF because the parts came in glossy black, I wanted them to match the matte black color of the OEM diffuser, lip and side skirts. Its also a good idea to protect the side skorts and front lip from any possible debris or rocks.

The final result looked awesome and thr car looks much more aggressive!

Looks nice! With the holes you drilled for the lip, did you just have to drill in the middle of those raised circle areas?

Yes, very simple! The problem is woth the side skirts not having this raised circles

VTT crankcase breather installed, very easy and takes 5 minutes. The installation instructions on their website states that the oem gasket should be removed from the oil cap and installed on the crankcase breather but I couldn't find a place to install it on. I emailed them and waiting for a reply, the breather already has a gasket installed but have no idea if it needs the oem as well.

I'll update the post once I hear back from them.

Update: VTT replied back and said the manuals are old, no need to remove the oem gasket, its straight up plug and play.

Awesome work so Far! I sent you a message regarding the rear spliters. Any tips on how to be able to screw on the nut with the bolt closest to the wheel? it seems to be blocked off by some plastic piece..

Finally! R1 Concepts BBK have arrived, took 2 months to manufacture. Installation was a breeze and the rear brake kit supports the e-brake, the only thing I lost is the sensor on the pads which tells you it's time to change them.

I wanted a brake kit that fits thr OEM rims WITHOUT spacers and R1 concepts helped, big thanks goes to James at R1 Concepts for the help and awesome customer service! Make sure to speak to him if you plan on ordering one!

For OEM rims + no spacers option you should go with

Front - 365mm kit
Rear - 356mm kit with e-brake support

Front and rear kits come with brake lines, discs, calibers and pads. Colors and discs option is up to you when ordering!

I decided to go with Castol SRF brake fluid which is the best, it's expensive but worth it.

I had some issues bleeding the brakes, air got into the ABS pump and had to hit the brakes aggressive on the road to get it out and do the bleeding again, 75% of the brake pedal did not do anything and the rear pistons weren't moving! Thankfully it's fixed now and the kit looks much better than the stock ones!

In terms of weight the front is a bit lighter but I'm not sure about the rear.

I know you posted this over two years ago, but how do you like this big brake kit? Any issues with it? Were the rotors coated in anything to prevent rust? Thanks.
