What did you do to your Supra today?

[_Sp1ral0ut]

drilled a dozen holes into my trunk

I can tell by the arrangement of the holes it's going to be crooked. See that bottom right hole? It doesn't align with the "S" key on my keyboard. Going by that and I'm sure you didn't use this formula:

4.35184307 × 1026 + 2w x 14d It's going to be crooked.

Using the metadata of the picture and running the coordinates through GPS:

Confirmed crooked

awe crap, I forgot to use the formula.
yes, you’re absolutely correct…it’s crooked!

nothing worse than a crooked wing.....except a crooked hood vent.

Broke the rear diff temp sensor while swapping fluid. Toyota wanted 2weeks to get the part, bmw 3 days.


Guess my vacation goes on longer!

Designed and 3d printed a camera mount for the front bumper. Hopefully it stays on.

What is it wired to and can you see the picture live?

Can you even see out of the rear view mirror or is it completely blocked by the wing?

visibility reduced by 50%.
i cannot see the upper half of the rear view which sucks bcuz now i cannot tell if there are cops or emergency vehicles approaching from behind.
i can only see the lower half of vehicles behind me.
i have to use side mirrors for rear view distance.
might need a dedicated rear view camera now…or drive within the speed limit…like i always do anyway.

Yep, I can see it live.. useful for parking. I have it wired to a Wolfbox Tripro dashcam, but it's just a generic 1080p camera so it should work for anything that takes a video input, like the Android Auto MMI boxes.

Very nice. Having a camera up front has been invaluable for parking in a tight garage. Here's my Bimmertech one.

I've been staying away from this site because every time I log in, I end up wanting to spend money. Case in point: The last time I spent a few days reading the forum, I ended up buying an AA catted downpipe that I had ceramic coated. I got around to installing it today.

Also gave her a wash. Wanted to try a new system that saves me time cuz I hate washing cars.

1. Spray on foam
2. Rinse off
3. Dry

Came out pretty good and only took around 30 minutes to wash the car with most of the time spent on the wheels.

How was the installation process? Easy DIY or do you recommend a shop? Thanks!

A shop did mine, who described the install as a "fucking nightmare," lol.

It's not too bad if you remove the bumper. Hardest part was running the cable through the firewall - I tried to go through the driver's side but there was already a hose going through the firewall. Once I switched to the passenger side it was much easier.
