Thanks bro!

I'll be tinting the windows plus the following:

I purchased a polyurethane front lip like this for it: I'll have it installed after car is done at the current shop.

I also bought a new wing that bolts on directly where the OEM one does so it's an easy swap out whenever I feel like going back and forth with the rear wings. I bought in in fiberglass and it will be painted white also.

Anyone else feeling like FSU is already homesick with all these Supra posts on CL?

NOOO!!!!!!

Leave the stock wing on the car, that is IMO the car's trademark. It had the ridiculous wing years before the Subie STi and Mitsubishi Evo. About the only car that can rival it for ridiculous factory wing is the mid-late 80's Lamborghini Countach.

^ Gotta disagree. Trademark look? Yes. Good look? No. It makes the Supra look cartoonish, not menacing like your other examples.

Two things have always killed the look of the MKIV for me: the headlights and the wing. I'd say FSU is moving the right direction on both.

Well, make that three things. The stock wheels are very ho-hum, in my not so popular opinion on a forum that often inherits the cast-offs. FSU has addressed that, too.

actually the factory wing has a purpose. the lower non factory will block vison, the fact that this owner is going all looks and little performance, he should be ok. but i agree leave the wing, you cant pull that off with any other car imp.

Thanks for the positive feedback!

I'll be able to switch back and forth between he OEM and new wing easily since I don't have to make other holes for it.

Also, this car is not a track car, I'll have some very good RWHP at 15 and 18psi and that's all I need for my enjoyable spirited drives along Pacific Coast Highway or some local canyons.

It will also look clean as hell at the same time .

A BPU Supra like yours should be pushing close to 425whp. Thats a lot of power, maybe not the 1000hp that everyone likes to brag about, but still a lot of fun. I'm running only 332whp in my NA-T and its a fun car to drive, so another almost 100 will make it a blast.

And yes, just like your SC400, this Supra is/will be clean as hell. Even cleaner with no wing at all, but that's just my style
