I think the crossover fad not only went too far, but has made a complete circle and is in jeopardy of making another round.


I'll start with my short list so people can add.

1- Soarer Digital cluster. Ask the aussies or just read here

2- Supra tail lights...... no explanation needed.

Go ahead,.... let 'em rip.

I think the supra steering wheels look uglier than the stock SC.
Also the griffin's everywhere, if its not a right hand drive car then why bother, everyone knows Soarers are not native here, why try and make one.

The JDM touchscreen for the center console, once again, the aussies know best but there are alot better and more functional ways to go.

headlights, tail lights, wing, cluster, (just wouldnt match right)

I prefer our seats(as long as there in good shape) although supra seats are still very nice. They just suit our interior more I think.

Supra wing will be the NO1 vote here!!!

I think the rear windsheild wiper is not good to have too, look cleaner without it...

active suspension is not a ideal mod too...

Common question:

You CANNOT use the rear Supra control arms on the SC. Supra front CAs, yes. Rear CAs, no... Unless you get the whole rear supra subframe...

Any JDM tyte y0! badges. IMO, this includes SOARER, Griffin, and Toyota badges.

Those ugly looking window trim pieces that keep rain out when the window is cracked.

That's all I can think of that's really common.

Putting Soarer, Toyota, Griffen badges on 2JZGE powered SC's. Oh wait, the Soarer never came with a 2JZGE. WTF mate. Its halfway justified doing it with a 1JZ powered car, but stil... even the aussies and japs want Lexus on their soarers, why are we taking it off?

I kinda like the rear window wiper, i know i could use one here in fl
