You have done some great work with the car.

I'm not sure if its you camera or what but the black paint looks cloudy and flat.
There are shiny parts of the car and dull looking areas at some angles. Do you see what I'm seeing?
Have you cut and buffed the paint yet?

No sir i never did that is definitely why it looks like that. I think the term is called laziness. This was last summer so in a couple of weeks i'm gonna finally wet sand it. I've read places where it has said basically a year is too long and i should paint again and then i have talked to some people and they said that it should be fine. So i'm gonna wet sand it and hope for the best and if it doesn't come out right then ill paint it again and this time cut and buff. But thank you guys for the feedback i really have done a lot of work on my baby and nobody will appreciate any work on it like another supra owner. She is far from done

good job the car looks alot better and i like the rims

i think since your wingless you could use a sunshade and 89+ tails

 

[Supra28]

Post 89 tails would do! Car looks dope regardless.

i saw the same thing with the paint but she lookin a hell of alot better. wet sanding and hours of tedious prep work will do you wonders and dont forget about plenty of ventilation

I most definitely will. Wes said he would ship out the end links today so hopefully I get them soon. Which bars did you get I got the st bars. I got them for 330 including shipping on amazon.. I found them later for 225 at titan motorsports. Fack.... Oh well

I should be receiving my sway bars and suspension soon, what are the sway bars like to replace in a supra? looking forward to it

 

[BrandonW]

Pretty easy actually It was just a pain to remove the stock end links because of coarse the Allen head on them are always rusted. I had to cut mine off with a grinder. I believe if you use an impact gun they should come right off but I don't have access to one. But other than that the bars come right off and go right in. The bars only come with new rear brackets you have to reuse your front ones so remember that.

Cool I will remember, thanks for the feedback. Damn, the supplier was made redundant I am hoping my order will still come into the country
If not the long wait was for nothing, keep it up.
