wHIZz Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Had my Supe almost a year now and I still have the grin whenever I drive her! - but, as my other half pointed out, she looks great from every angle except the front! What can I do to the front? - I would like to change the front repeater lenses to clear ones if possible since I've already done the side ones - are these available? Longer term I may look at a new front end but I don't want to go too 'in your face' - I like the OEM look of my Supe, subtle but superior! I also think the plastic headlights don't help. Also, should there be some mesh in the whole under my front plate? - I just seem to have a huge hole!

Steve Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/4/11116112624.jpg I put some mesh in the front bumper (also have a FMIC), added clear indicators and sprayed the headlights, does freshen it up a little Cant find a pic looking straight at it.

jevansio Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 On my J-Spec I went with UK lip spoiler & bonnet scoop: (see my garage for more pics) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 clear lenses for the indicators and a new lip would look awesome. perhaps even just an oem active spoiler? carbon splitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I think it looks nice mate. Active spiler is the way to go, as soon as you start adding aftermarket lips you kinda need the skirts to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wHIZz Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 Thanks guys - I should have said, I already have an active spoiler! Maybe I should leave that extended all the time? - and I could also add some mesh into that gaping hole. Anyone know where I can get clear lenses for the front? wHIZz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 http://utopia.duth.gr/~nm4434/Toyota%20Supra%20BLACK.jpg Mate, you are kidding right? That is the worlds ugliest front lip, bar none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 For me, it would be, facelift headlights, clear indicators, job done. Possibly mesh the back of the "mouth", if you felt the need (black mesh though). If I got another Supe, it would be completely stock body, not even oem skirts. I just love the clean look, and yours is pretty much perfect imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 On my J-Spec I went with UK lip spoiler & bonnet scoop: http://www.imotors.co.uk/temp/jay/28-10-06/Dscf0444_npsml.jpg (see my garage for more pics) yea i love that and that would look ace lowered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Most lips are a complete pain in the tits. Why do you think the uk model had a speed related lowering lip spoiler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 can you get this oem spoiler in carbon fiber? if so where from and how much as i would definetly want one. I've never seen it in CF ever, the OEM ones are very flexible so if you catch them they don't crack etc, I'd imagine a CF being a right PITA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 its all about the active spoiler http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=117532 I kinda like that carbon fiber lip too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know where I can get clear lenses for the front? wHIZz The active lip being down all the time makes a big difference, makes it look much better I have mine down most of the time, unless i see a big hump coming up then it goes up Like everyone else says, facelift lights and clear indicators!

merckx Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 - but, as my other half pointed out, she looks great from every angle except the front! That's exactly what I've been thinking. I've got some mesh in mine like quite a few on here do, but there's definately room for improvement. A new grill in the bumper which fits flush with the front of the bumper would look nice, I'm surprised it hasn't been done already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
