MK5 Supra Summer Design Project

[JDMMA70]

The spoiler is looking to much like a TRD wing from a MK4. Try and go for the 89+ wing look but make it long and slightly taller like the regulus spoiler for inspiration.

Pop up headlights don't pass safety standards, that's why you don't see them anymore

Fast Fact!

Numerous car manufacturers used hidden headlamps to get around the headlight height regulation in the United States, for instance Toyota exported their retractable headlight version of the AE86, known domestically as the Sprinter Trueno in favour of their Corolla Levin as the former had higher headlamp height, enough to satisfy US regulations rather than raise body height which affected handling.

Still think you should post up what it might look like without the spear shaped (Camaro) front bumper... do you have any already drawn up with that point in the middle smoothed out?

Also, if I were to have another suggestion, I always thought 6 spoke wheels looked like a Nissan thing. Mk2's had split 4-spokes, Mk3's had 5 spoke, Mk4's had 5 spoke...

Nissan tends to use 7 spokes as well. Personally because I'm a picky bastard 4 lugs = 4 spoke (or a multiple of 4) and 5 lug = 5 spoke (or a multiple of 5)

 

[87mk111]

I vote for 5 or 10 spoke rims

6 spokes on a supra always remind me of this
