Newer style 90+ header panel?

[modmonster2008]

I was wondering if the part where the old SUPRA badge would go is slightly curved up like a dome where the toyota emblem would go because i bought a header panel that would support 89+ bumpers and i have this bump in the middle...

BTW i was able to install the pre-89 lights on there since i folded a few metal frames on the panel itself normally where the 89+ lights would mount, but yes its a 89+ header panel and im confused as to why it has a bump on there, anyone else have that or is it just mine? thanks

I think they all are like that.

 

[modmonster2008]

are you a toyota badge model car? can u go check on your car if its like that, cuhz i want to make sure there might be a different emblem made specifically for a supra like that

 

[buckshotglass]

I have both cars. From the outside, the header panels look the same. I think the difference is only in the emblem. Someone told me that, I hope it's true.

 

[modmonster2008]

have u looked up close at the one with the toyota emblem? does it seem to curve a bit? i really want to know...

 

[buckshotglass]

I can't see under the emblem.

 

[modmonster2008]

at an angle, does it seem to be straight or curved up a bit on the center?

 

[buckshotglass]

I think they painted over a pre 91 on your car.

LMAO!! :nono:

 

[modmonster2008]

i guess so, ill try to see if i can sand it down or so since im getting my car painted might as well get that problem solved, if its not supposed to be like that

That header panel looks odd.

The spot where the badge rests is recessed in. There should be a rectangular indent on the header panel, but yours looks like it's bulging out.

Both the Toyota oval badge and old mk3 badge have a rectangular base that sits flush on the header panel, regardless of year.

It's been filled over

I'm sure the ModMonster can handle it.

 

[modmonster2008]

oh yes i can definately handle this type of work well ill see how it works out tomorrow when i start filling in some holes to be painted over

They ghetto filled it. AKA They just filled it and painted without taking the extra 10-20 minutes to remove the badge first. :3d_frown: My current/temporary nose panel is the same way and it's starting to crack. Luckily I have a spare under the house.

Yep, as already mentioned, the badge is more than likely still under there.

The only header change is for the headlight sprayers, the rest is the same...

 

[modmonster2008]

is it just me or does this picture also have the badge area bulged out (look closely) I did and i kinda noticed a pattern change

[kabanimk3supra]

it does bulge

 

[modmonster2008]

^^ so it is supposed to be like that?

The header panel never changed from 86-92. They were always the same. If there is no indentation/hole for the emblem, it's been modified.

The "T" logo fit into the same rectangular spot as the earlier emblem.
