Kck: Sorry it's way fuggly I'd peel it and see what's underneath.

I did. Lots of ruffage. It was much better with the kit on. I did have to do away with the wing and the front bumper.

Why can't their be any sweet looking body kits for this car? They all look horrible. Either totally horrible or too boring to be worth spending more than $2 on.



because it already looks nice, anything else is kinda ruining it..

very few parts can be pulled off, such as bomex side skirts and rears, same with kaminari...

thats why lips are so popular on these cars...

It's not that the car doesn't look good stock, it just looks so boring. It needs something more. Stock bumpers with stock wheels was never cool.

It just seems like this car got totally skipped in terms of any company who makes decent looking kits.

And the parts that look good on it, are just not agressive or awesome enough.

Maybe it's just me. I mean my brother's car has Kaminari sides on it, we'll probably end up with a Greddy knock off bumper and then I'll just work the aero package into the rear bumper. And hopefully that will make it look good enough, but I still think it's lacking.

It's not that it looks boring, you've just become use to the Mkiii's stout good looks and have become bored with it.

It's like a girlfriend, she might be hot, but after some time has passed you might want her to put the "sexy nurse" or the "catholic school girl outfit" on. It's not that she's boring, just familiar.

Seriously, think back to when you first saw a Mkiii. I doubt you thought it was boring then. Problem is (as Wiisass stated) there doesn't seem to be any kits that really make the car look better...only different or worse.:icon_bigg

I've seen more Pre89 front conversions on 89+ than vice versa. However 89+ tails, no doubt.

thats probably because that plateau where the grill should be looks like ass.. black cars seem to get away with it alot better than others though. honestly though the best compromise would be whats going on in the pre 89 picture thread and thats putting an 89+ front bumper on and cutting off that piece in the center while retaining pre 89 turn signals and grill. it looks remarkably good. once thats done I agree that the rest of the 89+ bumper is better including the fogs IMO.

Yeah, but she was never really that hot. She looks good and carries her weight well even though she's a bit heavier than a lot of the other ones out there. So you weren't embarrassed to be seen with her or have people know that you were together, but you were never really trying to show her off.

But the different or worse thing pretty much sums it up. Some of the differents are decent, but they aren't really enough to do it for me. I mean maybe I just see all the sweet stuff that have for 240s and RX7's and other cars from that era and just wonder why no one ever made anything sweet for the Supra. Makes me wish I knew how to do fiberglass work, then maybe I could make something that would really make the car look awesome.

Yeah its seems that the only reason people like the stock mkiii look is just because none of the body kits out there do the car justice. No one seems to make anything that flows well enough to improve the cars looks.
