Guest rwd Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I was searching for a new supra online and came accross a few weird and odd looking examples. That made me wonder............should there be a "gentleman's agreement" or a code of conduct for it :S now i know it's not really possible, but still.............. have a look at this for example............... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-TOYOTA-SUPRA-WHITE-rare-late-model-eye-catching-wrap-modified-/290646804007?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item43abe64627 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Do look after it. Do treat it with respect. Do treat it with extra respect in the rain. Do maintain it properly Don't use cheap parts Don't use non-specialists Don't put Veilside on with flip paint jobs Don't put the wrong wheels on. More often that not, with a road-going Supra, less is more. It's a classic shape that still works today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 is this a double post then? Not the code of conduct thing, that should just be common sense and decent taste. The Supra is though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO NOT think that modifying a supra is a must! a nice clean stock examples stands out as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 You can't enforce taste unfortunately. Both my cars have been kitted with non stock wheels but tastefully IMO. I see some really awful Supras and wonder what the owner was thinking when he modded it or purchased it. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) DO NOT think that modifying a supra is a must! a nice clean stock examples stands out as well Disagree Dont flush a kit into bodywork Dont have vinyl dragons up the side Dont fit chargespeed spoilers Dont paint it orange Dont bling the engine Do keep stock spoiler Do choose the right aftermarket colour Do waste all your wages in the first week on the supra and live like a tramp till next pay cheque Edited December 15, 2011 by Rob_Mitchell (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be nice to be able to post anonymously sometimes, as there are some cars that look awful, but no one wants to hurt the owner's feelings and be seen to be doing so.

But it also hurts when someone walks up to you and says "oh, is this a supra?
