He has been a member here in the past.
I'm sure a search will find a post with him building it.

wow! topless supra. give propz for the creativity.

i think the stock TT supra looks better than this one.

i think it look sweet and that toyota should have made a convertable supra like this also dont you think if the frame were to be reinforce that it would be ok any more pics with top on

I still think its ugly. The whole back half of the car looks like its missing something (the roof and rear hatch of course!). The car looks unproportioned with the nose too long and the rear being too short. IMO, convertibles should be left to the roadsters. i.e. S2000, miata or SLK. The engineers designed these cars around the fact that they will spend the majority of time with the top down. I am more forgiving with cars originally designed as coupes and then turned into convertibles. i.e. mustang, bmw e46, etc, but definately not a liftback like the supra.

On another note, if youre gonna spend all that money on customizing a car, dont skimp on the rims.

just my $0.02
