Car is looking REALLY good! Can't wait to see the whale tail.Hopefully my car will go to paint before then, so I don't see it and think I should spend more money. Anyway, are you going to stay with the stock rear bumper, or upgrade that too?

thanks

the whale tail should be on by next week....

eventually I will go to a kamanari rear bumper and a 2 or 3 hole front lip...


but leaving it for now probably around spring......

the car came with a 3 hole lip for the front but it was busted and i didnt see any since in fixing it. so i will get a new one.....

Wow your car looks sickkkk. Props dude.

If it were mine I would: 3 hole lip, 18's with some nice and low offsets(or bigger tires and spacers for current wheels), and keep it wingless!!

I will, I will

alot has been done since pics were last taken... i got the molding(besides two pieces i was missing) painted and on... mirrors are painted and on...... headlight covers are painted and on... some of the trim is back on the car tooo... I was waiting on the whale tail and a molding piece that i got in to be painted this week and installed and then I was going to take updated pics.....

ive got a 3 hole lip but its busted up.. i will be getting a new one

rims are 17's 17X8 and if i put spacers on it the rims would stick out past my fenders.... they are flush right now with the fenders.. the wheels fit perfect with a great offset and look great in person.... just with too small a tire.. which i will be taking care of soon.... so what you are seeing saying that it needs spacers is the tire isnt even as wide as the rim and sets on the rim and goes inward and they show alot of the lip where a right size tire would lapp over the lip.so once i put a tire on that sets on the rim right it wont look like it needs spacers... and in person you can tell the rim is setting flush with the fenders..... they dont stick in any.... perfect offset if you ask me... but once i get the right size tires on youll see what im talking about....the rims are 17x8 with 205/45/17's.... im going to put on 255/45/17 on the back and 245/45/17 on the front and it will look great...

and nope its getting a whale tail installed as soon as i get it painted.. hopefully this week....if everything goes right....

He's a pure breed. I am crazy for no reason. He got the paint today. So I can't call him a procrastinator anymore.

Knightz: cardomain calls your supra a "invalid ride". What happened to your page?

well the wing was painted and cleared today along with a piece of molding that i was missing that i got in....... hopefully will be ready to bolt on monday.... now i need to get the rest of trim on. as soon as i get the wing bolted to the car i see if anthony can come over with his digi cam( 100% better then mine) and get pics of the car......

also got the paint off of the left and right tail light havent messed with the center piece probably going to end up buying another one....

then we will start wet sanding and buffing the car within 2 weeks..... I should have the tires on in a couple of weeks also... going with 255/45/17 on back and 245/45/17 on front... will look alot better once bigger tires go on:naughty:
