Half of that paragraph is debatable.. and in all honesty, I dont hate them, BUT I TRULY DISLIKE MK4's. Maybe some on this board bought an mk3 supra hoping to catch some props for the name or something and feel bad that they dont have mk4's.
Pesonally I love collecting all the parts that never came on the mk3's in the US and really that just fuels my desire for my car. So these cars aren't as advanced, that doesnt make me jealous or envious of anything, they are what they are.
Also, 2JZ's are nice engines, but who's counting numbers on a dyno.. I'm sure some on this board do, but at a certain point it doesnt even matter. I'm plenty fine with my 1JZ.
I had the money to buy a mark 4, but i decided i didnt wanna buy the car because they are expensive, I generally dont like the look of them and the mk3 appealed to me so much more. Love the pop-ups, love the targa, love it all.
To each his own.
Not my cup of tea but you do what you want with your $$ if you like them bottom line is, its your car and your going to see it every time you walk away or to your car.
Swapping an engine in is very different because you can't see the difference from the outside. To the normal viewer your car looks the same. With changing the tail lights you are trying to make your car look more like a newer Supra. Making your car pretend to be something it isn't is one of the definitions of rice.suprastanger507mgte said:
For the record, I love the JZA80 and I love its tail lights. But they look awful on an *A70. Just doesn't flow with the lines.
i think its the dummist ugliest fuggin thing i ever seen in my life. so retarded. take our advice and dont do it. dont ruin your car.

i dont think that it looks THAT bad.
truly, to each his own
but you wont find me doing that conversion any time soon.
BorHor were you planning on it????
I think it looks interesting and it gives it some new flavor
is it any different that adding 89+ tailights to a pre 89 body?
it is truly up to the owner.....they have to look at it.

Seriously?
...
89+ taillights are still A70 taillights designed and made for the A70.
You dont have to use body filler to put 89+ lights on the car.:naughty:
IMHO the only reason to do something of this nature is for car show purposes. Even then it is no longer an original idea as mk4 lights have been put on everything...and looks like crap on 95%:biglaugh:

Putting on MK4 lights isnt even show. It is straight lame. With the money spent on getting it to look right you can just buy a MK4.
I did the 89+ lights on my 88 and I liked it, but I had some people telling me that it didnt look right without the 89+spoiler and the 89+front bumper and they said I should keep the 88 lights on there.
but it's my car and I did what I thought looked good. I think the 89+ taillights give the rear a smoother look, so I went with it.
its true that the mk4 taillights on other things does not look good, as im sure that we have all seen.
some times it not about the money that could have spent elsewhere its about the style that they like.
Im not one that has the money to spend on a conversion like this so I wont be doing it anytime soon.

Its all in the eye of the beholder. We all have different taste.
i could see a little bit of the 240 in there.
I don't hate the A80. I hate what it's become. F&F has completely trashed the A80 Supra. Period. Also, there is a large group of A80 owners that own them because of that movie.
It's all about preference. I prefer the 86.5-88 A70 Supra. I don't like the buck-toothed front end of 89+. I still want the taillights and molding, though. Does that mean that I hate Joe's car? No. Do I hate Moe's car? No. I just prefer the look of the first half production.

Thats because thats all you have owned.
I diddn't like it either untill I bought my 3rd supra the 89, everything about an 89 + is better in my eyes. All the small interior touches make the biggest difference in how much newer the car feels. Just the stupid window buttons are miles more awesome.

Oh yeah. I have the 89+ Climate control, too. I forgot that. 
Kyle- Much agreed. I'm building my Supra the way I like it. As you said, it's the little things.

There is a HUGE difference with dropping an a70 series motor into an a70 chassis and putting a80 taillights onto an a70.
Do what YOU want, to each their own.
