Trim Question

[Justin]

Is there any trim that has the "Toyota Supra" on it that doesn't have the writing on it?

Does that make any sense? I'd like to get rid of 'Toyota Supra' on the rear but I dont' wanna paint it, sand it, anything like that... is there any version of othe supra that doesn't have that on the trim?

i don't know but i don't think so, i have an '87 and an '88 and my buddy has an '89 and a '90, and they all have it on there. i just painted over mine, but i know you don't want to do that

No, there were no versions of the trim without it.

Speaking of trim.. how does pre-89 trim turn out painted.. like preped and painted like it was part of the body?

why would you want the supra badge taken off... c'mon man it's a supra, not some honda that your ashamed to drive and want to try to make it look like a bmw

Debadging an "old school" Supra is just asking for more people to speak of the words, "Is that a Ford Probe?"...Before, if they were close enough, seeing "SUPRA" would be obvious enough...but debadged...I dont know...

I had a guy ask if my supra was a daytona tonight... albiet he was stoned and it was dark out... but still... daytona!? c'mon...

LOL Daytona.. we have a lot of oldschool guys around here who know whats up with the supra, so debadging mine wouldn't be a problem (not that i want to). And for those who can't figure it out, they dont deserve to know anyways.

"Hey is that a Supra i see??"













"That thang got a hemi?"

Most people down here either know what it is, or just don't care. I get very few "what is that?" questions, and even fewer guesses. If anything, I think our Supras slightly resemble the old BMW 8-series, especially the pre-89 Supras:

To the parent: I doubt that Toyota would sell a debadged Supra...And I know you said no sanding/painting, but sanding down just the "Toyota SUPRA" isn't hard if you're careful. If you've got gray trim, it may not be so noticeable--I've got maroon paint, and the white paint on the badge on the rear was all nasty and weak looking. So I sanded the white off, and the black plastic underneath (89+ trim) blends in nicely with the maroon trim and it's not really that noticeable from 20 feet or so. It certainly isn't the eyesore that it once was...
