Seats in the Supra are Recaro CS Sportsters with backs, bases and harness rings custom wrapped in CF.

The front lip on the F is actually the ICode lip which is a little different than the Lexon. Truth be told I am pretty sure that the ICode lip is a re-labled LX-Mode lip.

Thanks Daryl. Appreciate the compliments. I am still waiting on the rear section of my HKS SSM. When I ordered, the rear sections were gone and now at the mercy of the new distribution system. The front section has been in my basement for about 3 months. They are telling me that it should be here in November but the price has gone up since I ordered oh well... Gotta pay to play.

With the new HKS distribution in place the cost to both the consumer and the shop has gone up. The end result is most of the HKS product line is priced beyond their competitors making it a brand that all but the truly dedicated like you, Ken and a few others are going to be willing to pay for.

It sucks that you've had to wait so long but It'll be worth the wait. I know you'll appreciate the overall quality and the sound as much as I do.

Well, finally got my wheel/tire situation straightened out and very happy with the final results. This car modding thing is really an illness. My wife will attest to it!

Specs of the set. Purchased these through Figs (Mike) and it was great customer service all the way through. There ended up being a LOT of calls back and forth due to tire manufacturer dimension variations and fitment "challenges"

Setup:
BC Forged wheels - Model: HB-S02, Brushed Black Disk and Brushed Black Rim/Barrel
F: 19x9
R: 19x10.5
http://www.bcec.com.tw/wheel/en/cs-hb-s02.html
(I will wait to see if Mike wants to release the offsets as he did a lot of work with BC to finalize these)

Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position S-04
F: 255/35-19
R: 295/30-19

On to the pics:











Now on the car. Sorry it is dirty. These are definitely "non-pro" pics as compared to the others in this thread as I just snapped these myself. At least they are not phone pics.

I also never posted pics of my HKS SSM exhaust. I REALLY love the sound of this thing. Sounds like nothing else... and no drone! Now I just need to add those Novel headers!

















Not showing any pics of it on the car as there really isn't anything to show.
