Very nice pics. Any scraping issues with the lowering and front lip?

Supra is a little over 725 RWHP at 29lbs on race gas. Normal street driving on pump is 525-550

I have been up and down on wheels and have not been able to convince myself to spend what it would take to get the kind of wheels that I want. I agree about the rear wheels. After the shoot I had the rear raised a little bit, put on larger tires (255 to 265) and had Figs mega arms installed. I think it is better now.

Definitely have scraping issues with the lip. I have tried a couple of things to combat it with some success. I attached strips of the fuzzy section of velcro to the underside of the lip using body molding adhesive. It "slides" on concrete and provides some protection. I usually have to replace the strips every 3 months or so. I think the lip really adds to the appearance of the car so the trade off is worth it for me. The F is my DD.

Good thinking; it is certainly worth it.

Unfortunately I did not have it covered myself but bought it from one of the forum vendors (Carson). It is the Think Design piece. It is not an exact match for the oem pieces. I have not found anybody that makes pieces that are an exact match. It is close enough that if the piece does not "touch" an oem piece it looks the same.

A great set of cars there! That Supra looks amazing, and the F isn't too shabby either. I'm envy of yet another Supra and IS F owner Both look clean!
