What you're going for OP sounds like a lot of work and a full blown custom solution which will ultimately cost a ton of money. Not really sure its worth it for a little detail like a front splitter, but if you go for it, good luck to ya!

Unlike other cars. Exterior mods for this platform are pretty boring unless you go full replacement bumpers. Most exterior mods are just bland. I miss my AP2 and hawkeye that I can truly change the look.

I agree with you. Iā€™m not looking to do a bumper swap. I just feel like a white plastic lip option to get rid of the weak looking oem one should be an easy and cheap thing. I was surprised that nothing like that has been produced with this car now being out for several years now

It's been 4 and 2 years can be basically written off. Not much was developed during covid because of shipping delays and everything.

I actually think this needs a little bit of perspective - the thing is the Supra's design is already its strength by default, it has diffuser/splitter, F1 style features on a *stock* car, this mustn't be forgotten, it's not like getting a boring sedan and then making jt exciting with a kit, the Supra is already exciting-looking from factory so it's harder to top that as the bar is set higher.

In that sense, when you want to modify the exterior, it will either be bland/insignificant (because it's already very sporty) or you go very bold and go wiiiide.

So I would say this is a champagne problem really!

OP, boring looking cars need a fancy aftermarket lip. The Supra here doesn't and looks good even without one. A lip is just icing on the cake on this car. A big wing on the other hand makes a big difference.

I feel like thatā€™s kinda the point. The car doesnā€™t need pointy pointy upswept lips and diffusers. Rather than making them bigger or stacking more on Iā€™m trying to simplify the car

Pretty sure @GRMan is saying an aftermarket lip is icing on the cake.

All lips not the same
Ask an obgyn
I think theyā€™re all the same after you rip them off doing track runoffā€¦ They all seem to scoop šŸ„„ up the same amount of dirt and look just as cool hanging down in the paddock šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø šŸ¤­

Agree with OP they all look the same.

Since remove the fin is so hard, how about wrap it or painted so it matched the car paint?

Similar to Porsche 992 turbo s, I have never seen anyone doing this but it might looks pretty good. At least I am considering doing it
