Rob Dublin Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Hope this isn't a repost, couldn't find any info when I searched. Anyone got any good pics of the Type S bodykit other than the two small ones on google? Opinions also welcomed?

gordy07 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 opinion from me, the supra dont need a body kit !! I agree:) Apart from the one mr T made as a factory option(which i happen to have) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dublin Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) opinion from me, the supra dont need a body kit !! Agreed, looking at buying a car that already has it fitted, and to test the waters and see if it'd sell. Will be going back to stock if I buy it. Edited June 24, 2009 by Rob Dublin sp.

DSK Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 opinion from me, the supra dont need a body kit !! I agree, but I'd say side skirts, ideally OEM make the sides spot on and possibly rear spats but thats it IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Any idea who it's made by Rob? Nic used to be fantastic identifying kits, shame he's not so active here anymore.

Rob Dublin Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Yep that's the one. Have no other info on it, not seen the car in question yet, will know more come Saturday. Has the stock spoiler btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 opinion from me, the supra dont need a body kit !! You would say that! As far as kits for the Supra go, It's certainly not one of the worst, and it must be pretty exclusive (I don't think i've seen a car in the UK fitted with this) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dublin Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Pics of the one I'm looking at. Offers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Damn, that is low! Pics confirm my original thoughts on the kit - the skirts and front are a bit "fat" looking IYSWIM. Certainly not the worse out there, acceptable almost, but a bit OTT in my opinionated opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 It looks like it's wearing a nappy! Otherwise, it looks pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodykit or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Yes I am Signature bodykit You saved the day Nic as always Thats only about a £780 kit at todays rates (obviously would cost a LOT more to make it here), but compared to the other kits that seems to be very cheap indeed. I still don't like it, the nappy comment from jza80 says it all really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFuture Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 nic good to see you around mate, sorry for my hassles, how are you now ? (sorry for the thread hijack) as kits go im sorry, and im REALLY sorry, as toyota made it with some tweeks im going to start an official picket line "NO KITS TODAY, NO KITS TOMMORROW, SACK OUR OILS WORKERS, BUT DONT KIT OUR SUPRAS" sorry ill get my coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Failside is the one that really makes my stomach turn. Some of the members on here go from totally stock, through do-lucks and top secrets - some great looking vehicles. This one looks good - save for the spoiler. The one you linked to does look pretty good, but there are other kits I prefer. Personally, I find totally stock too bland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martini Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 sacralidge Heh, yeh well. I just need some OEM side skirts and my car will suit me for now. It's all down to personal taste. Some people even like the veilside stuff. I think it stops making it like a supra though. Again, to me, totally stock just looks dated; but that's me. OEM skirts, spats and that lip thing can make it look a lot more sharp though. sacralidge, would you buy a ferrari and put a kit on it ? would you own a masserati and but a kit on it ? i know i wouldnt so why kit a beautifull car like the supra ? I don't find ferarris and maserati's bland when stock, in general. It's the front bumper that looks aged on the supra, if left to stock. But again, that is my opinion. I just see one and like it... then I see a Top Secret bumper or Do- Luck and think how modern that looks. However, I can't stand the veilside one...

Nic Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 There are not many bodykits I like (Top Secret Type III being the exception), but I don't actually mind the Signature kit (without the rear spoiler). The Explosion kit is made by the same company. http://www.evolution.co.jp/explosion/supra/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people say the true supras have a turbo inside them... why run an N/A? My point being that it's all just opinions and banter. So long as you like what you have, I don't think it matters. I almost suppose the same can be said for failside?? The fact that there is a large market for supra bodykits shows that there's a large demand to change the look from stock. In all honesty, my personal opinion is that the stock celica looks nicer than the supra. The supra, from the front, totally stock, looks old.
