What did you do to your Supra today?

[evendale]

After seeing this i think my duckbill is staying on forever my OCD would be going crazy seeing that?

Well, turns out using fishing line to take off a trunk lip spoiler on a supra is a big BAD IDEA. The way the trunk contours, the fishing line gets put under tension and that plus the soft paint on the plastic trunk = paint annihilation.

I was so pissed, but at least it made the act of drilling into the trunk for the Verus wing not so bad anymore... and now I have my big wang installed.

any way to fix paint easily? I am afraid to remove my spoiler.

If it's truly worth it to you, I'd pay a body shop to color match it and do the touch-up.

Swapped out the silver hardware on my wheels for some gold. Also installed some studs.
After:

Do you have IG? Need to see more pics of a silver wheel with gold bolts setup

@sd.a90 Don’t have those BC Forged wheels on anymore but I have some old pics if you scroll through.

The paint on these cars (maybe it's just the white) is super soft. I fucked up mine doing the badge replacement.

The paint finish, specifically the clear coat, is like refrigerated butter I swear. Just rubbing my finger on it left little surface scratches on the hood around the 'vents' during the swap out for the SupraMod ones.

That and the windscreens are as fragile as your grandmother's vintage tea set. Just BEGGING to get broken/cracked.

I'm just budgeting the paint and glass work ahead of time...makes life less stressful.

I let my 16 year old son drive the Supra by himself… he brought it back home in one piece, didn’t crash or anything! ?

My oldest turned 40 this year. When he was a senior in high school he wanted to take my '69 Mach 1 to the prom. He had never asked to drive it before. I told him sure - but if he wrecked it - he could just keeping going in whatever direction he was going in when it happened - don't bother coming back He brought it back in one piece LOL

Blasted and powder coated the dinged up $80 FTP charge pipe. Threw the strut bars in there too for good measure. They're an eyesore, no more!

I added some red Bing today.

Not sure if the change to that HUGE wing makes any difference on the downforce specs, but it sure looks "great".
I guess at 150+ mph that wing will help. ?

You probably would have been better off warming it up with a heat gun and prying on the spoiler VERY slowly with only your fingers until the tape starts to separate..

Duh!

How does that affect the parking sensor?

I don’t mind the lower one however the upper seems like a tight fit next to the sensor and reflector area.

Perhaps function if your tracking the car over esthetics.

I had the same question but I haven't heard of anyone with these complaining about it. This particular Supra isn't moving until March so I'll let you know.

Unless there are actually published specs with numbers (spoiler, MUCH less than 150mph) and endless people stating improvement in lap times. Are you disputing them or do you want to just keep complaining about OEM pads dusting? Could you state your current lap times?

I’ve thought about getting a set of those mats but came to the conclusion they aren’t a durable as the OEM carpeted mats. I assumed small pebbles would scratch/cut those things up quick. You’ll have to let us know how they hold up after a few months. What material are those mats made of? Can you post a link?

I have had a set in my 540i for the past 2 years. No issues.... but then again, I wear sexy shoes. Lol.

Website claims leather; not sure about that, but the other set has been durable.
