What did you do to your Supra today?

What did I do to my Supra today?

Boring stuff. Picked it up from the dealership after a complimentary oil change and state inspection. Back in the garage it goes, 9500 miles.

Holy fuck your car looks amazing

Appreciate it man! The hours of research and overthinking paid off haha

I ordered $3200 worth of SPL parts.

Upgraded the non-functional hood vents to be almost-functional

Regardless, they are definitely more aesthetically pleasing.

Probably one of the few who coated stock wheels in gloss black. I like it. And given that boopra is my daily, they won’t shine that much anyway.

Installed my:

Best Trunk Button and test fit my Carbon Fiber Bling Panels

is there write up on the installation of the button? i'm interested to see how it works, does it pose a security risk i.e. is it always opens the trunk without the key?

Gloss black looks amazing on yellow.

I'm revising and updating the installation guide.

Due to the clever approach and testing involved in the application of this solution, it's safe 100%. When the car is locked the trunk is locked.

I am working on an expansion to it that will allow it to work with keyless entry but I'm not there yet.

Meh. I'd say you've done enough. I just like being able to open the trunk from the outside, without the keys being in my hand.

well thank you. But this is also my unhealthy/healthier coping mechanism for avoiding a life of pts symptoms and accumulated physical injuries from 20 years of combat and special operations stuff. So staying busy with anything I can is just how it's gonna be ?

i remember how easy that was for me to do ?

I really went back and forth on it. I could throw another $1000 at it and have bought an intake manifold. But if I'm going to take the top off of the motor, I want to do cams at the same time, and to do the cams I need to be able to lay a tune down on the ECU, which I won't do until something is available here in the US. The SPL stuff was next on my list after that stuff. I hope Mega 3 isn't lying about what they've come up with. Spoiler alert: They probably are. JUST ONE MORE WEEK

I'm sorry you all have been mistreated about the dme stuff and taken advantage of by certain people.

I'm going to be there all day Saturday, hopefully I have some kind of update

Finally upgraded tires, conti extremecontact sports 295/35r19. stocks lasted about 11k miles but my alignment is apparently off so the inner part was worn all the way down already. Gonna take it in for an alignment tomorrow. These actually hook and let me launch the car finally though which is nice.

There are basically two situations when you need in the trunk:
1) Park somewhere, get out of the car, go to the trunk to grab something before locking the car and walking off.
2) Walk up to your locked car, go to the trunk to put something in, then get in and drive off.

The current state of this button only helps with #1, and in that scenario you can just use the button on the driver's door instead. #2 would still require you to pull out your keys to unlock the car before this button would work, at which point you might as well just use the keys to open the trunk. Adding the keyless entry extension would let it work for both, I think that's pretty crucial.
