Just bought the same bumper you have Rodel (Spec-G from Shine). Curious about what your grill area looks like as my car is an 88 and I will have to deal with that. I think you cut off the bottom insert to fit it on with your larger intercooler...
Planning my other parts.. car goes in for bodywork/paint first week of July... (hoping to make a SILV run next summer.. if it still is an ongoing thing.. hehe)

Any pics that show what you have done in the front grille area?

Thanks, again!

I doubt Shine will replicate the Stout hood. They usually don't replicate parts that are already being replicated by another company. You could order a replica through Nick Stonawski (that's his user name) in Supra Forums.

I don't have a picture of the intercooler with the bumper off to show the intercooler, but FYI, I don't have a bumper support and I cut the "air guide" of the Greddy bumper out so that the intercooler could be pushed out as far as possible.

Looking forward to your car. Good luck! (There has been no discussion of SILV 2011, so let's hope for the best.)

I was referring to the grill area actually.. (between the signal lights). I currently have the OEM 88 bumper, changing to the 89+ style bumper (using the MA70-FB-G bumper, which I think is similar to yours). I think I am fine without touching the bumper (other than paint) because I run stock intercooler right now. Was just trying to figure out how to deal with the grill area because the 88 grill is different.

(as shown here.. no centre piece.. so full grill from signal light to signal light)

I just cant find a picture that shows what is between your signal lights and the bumper center riser...


Never mind actually.. found a picture on Post #40, it looks like your empty there (which looks perfectly fine.. and what I was wondering about).

You could actually trim the backside of the Greddy bumper's center piece and leave your 88 grill in place.

Or shave the corner lights and grille completely for super sleeper status. It'll throw anyone familiar with the cars off at first...I didn't even notice mine were shaved until a month after I had bought the car.

At Hellaflush 8 in Santa Monica beach, a couple of months ago.

On the left of the picture: me (red sweatshirt), Kevin, and Ken (Shineautoproject). On the right is the long line of people waiting to pay for their parking spot. We had a Supra MKIV homie stand line for us. We're happy about not being in line. LOL.
