Needless to say, I actually clicked on that link. Thanks to slow dial up right now, it gave me a second to read that, which made me LOL. ;)

I have a TRD Engine...Guess I'm good to go then. :)

Everyone thinks there really that ricer? Kind of doesnt help that i dont have any TRD parts on my car. I saw a mk3 with one and it looked pretty good but i dont know if it would look good on my car.

Were jsut saying, even though its Toyota, think of if you saw a honda civic with a large HKS sticker on the back, but had no HKS parts.

I like the look of the badge in the grill, but i jsut think there pointless, they look hot though.

Go get a TRD Radiator cap.

THEN, go get a badge.

I just hate when people put any badging, emblems and/or stickers on their car representing something on their car that they DON'T have.
You most frequently see it on ricers. ;)
A perfect example - This TyT3-@$$ Cavalier that I saw a few weeks ago, it had some Motegi wheels on it....along with a huge MOTEGI RACING sticker on the side windows. Okay, great. A little much, but at least he's got a Motegi product. Guess what sticker is right beside it? KONIG. :rofl:

Cliff notes - (lol) - Just because TRD is a developer for Toyota doesn't mean all Toyota's are Toyota Racing Developement. ;)

there arent any cars that CAME with that badging...right??? a stock TRD-modified supra? its just owners that buy a sticker...and only that...right?

i ask because i think i've seen some trucks that look like stock "TRD" toyotas, such as a taco. but they didnt do that with the supra did they?

can you send your car somewhere to get it officially modified with "packages" and such? kinda like lingenfelter for corvettes.... or roush for mustangs? (that is, if i understand how those companies work with owners/dealers)

Your a ricer if you do, or if you dont.

I only have a SupraMania sticker on my 87T. I have a TRD badge in my junk drawer, and a 3.0i badge. The TRD one will not go on, the 3.0i might.

My 88T used to have a ton of giant stickers on it, but that was for contingency pay...

So wait, I have a TRD shift knob AND a radiator cap.... that means I can have 2 badges right!

Fletch - I say if you like it and you want it then do it. The way I see it is that it's a badge which is MUCH less tacky than those huge vinyl stickers.

Personally my car is going to be naked though. I don't want anyone to know that it's a turbo or even what it is for that matter. (it funny how many don't know what it is. Imagine how many people wouldn't know if it didn't say SUPRA on the back :D)
