I don't know I like it. While where looking for pictures anyone have a clear picture of the rear? I would like to see how people handled the tail lights and center section. I have wanted shave the trim for a while just haven't gotten around to body work yet.

I have just spent some time looking at pictures on BIC's site, and tireburners car. I really think it would look better if the bumpers were molded to the body in the front and back, as well as the rear mud flap. If you are goon go for the smooth look, go all out, and get rid of all creases. Otherwise, it looks like you got a cheap replacement door with no moldings. I have never really been a fan of Randy's car, but tireburner's car looks better with the side and rear skirts.

It is a matter of opinion and mine is that the Supra with no moldings looks just plain wrong. Just my .02

That silver MKIII looks like a Eagle Talon on steroids.

Shaved molding/trim on an A70...

I've got to say I'm neutral on this one.

At some angles looking at a shaved A70, it can pull it off and look very nice and sleek.

But I've come to the conclusion that a majority of the time, it comes off as having that "Wait...something's missing" appearance.

The reason why I think it looks kind of funky from a side view is simple because our cars are LONG, and short. If the MkIII was a "tall" car like, for example, a Cobalt (has very tall doors), then it looks fine. Otherwise...

Red car + red trim = Win.

Black car + black trim = Win.

and so on... ;)

Why lock the thread of the old one is going to rise from the dead is unknown to me?

But I can say, the silver Supra is the sex. I hate the trim on the Supra, it only causes problems (Rust, trim falling off after time, and others) and makes it look 5 years older. Not including when you convert the tails you must upgrade the entire trim around the car, and it's damn near expensive for something that doesn't make it look good.

I guess my opinion on the trim has something to do with loving the mark four body more than the mark three.
