yeah, here are a few pics of me test fitting the TRD 14" big brake kit, on the front wheels. it is outstanding! funny part is, if i use the stock supra tt calipers, i have to use 5mm spacers. but with the bbk upgrade on, no spacers needed, and actually room to spare. and man do they fill up the volks < JEEZ >
if you want the backstory on the trd brakes, basically, the trd flagship car n japan had them, and they were supposed to come into production, but never did, they are a combination of trd and brembo. brembo special mounting brackets, trd calipers, braided lines, trd pads, brembo hats.. just plain sex.
updates: i will take pics of the removed woodgrain thats painted red the same as the seats, very nice indeed, brought the whole dash together. also i know all the pics are crappy n the car is dusty, so ill take some with it washed off finally since its getting the intake pipes redone so i can finally close my bn hood. the old ones only allowed me to close the stock hood.
here are pics of the trds" enjoy. pricing will be around 3500 for the fronts. i have the rears waiting in japan, when they arrive ill post pricing up, ultra rare, and well worth the money. also they will be brand new in box!
and if you look WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY in the back, you will see a completely deconstructed old 70's mopar..... muahahhaha viper v10 going in her next, just waiting to sandblast and go with the duster front end.

the before and after, here are the trd big brakes, after i sanded them down to bare metal, painted them silver, then candy ontop, they look great in the sun. they are 14 inch rotors 355mm, braided lines. the whole nine. i will finally get the drive the car home tomorrow, hopefully.
i will post final pics of the engine and interior here shortly, drove it the other night, shes like a bat outta hell. just in love.

solid on the headlights, shaky on the tails.
well, the headlights match the paint, and the sleek and renewed appearance of the car. its not meant to look like a 92 sc. so i dont want to use 92 parts. now the rears, they came in a set lol, so i was just plain old foolish for those but if you read the postings, im not going to keep the tails. im going to tint them with a candy red tint, should make them come back more to the original look, with the updated lighting pattern to take them into the the 2010's. im not a purist. so i dont feel inclined to keep the car all traditional. ive owned too may scs in my life to just keep it the same.
even with my supra, guys were like dont do this, n that. but really , they are purist. they say get a single, i put twins on both. its just a choice really.
but how silly would it look with stock headlights lol, i mean when ppl see the car, they love it, and most say lexus should have gone with that look instead lol.

thank you very much, i appreciate the luv.
and man are there some haters over there or what. and especially since i own a supra as well, lol.
they headlights look great on it, really. there are no other options, im not going to use a set of lined headlights in 2010 when none of the headlights now have lines in them.
and again i appreciate the luv, just wanted the real lex owners to have something to look at.

i hate the tails too, but since its not done yet, dont hold them against me, wating for the red tint paint to come in.
yes i used duplicolor, have been using that system for years, works great, better than any thing else. and they look much deeper than a powder coat ever could.
