thomo8568 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 If your going to remove the skirts then I would keep it black. I would remove them if mine as not a big fan of oem skirts, but I know a lot of people love them. Think it would look even better than it already does without them. Almost my perfect supra look.

ripped_fear Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Well today was a fail, Tried test fitting the trd, it fouls on my boot lip on one side, guess when we bonded it on we were slightly out, my only option is to drill out the oem hole a couple of mm or scrap the idea and sell it on. So to make up for it i gave it a good clean and took it for a spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Did you try bolting it down in separate pieces Jake or all together? I know mine is a tight fit against the lip spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 All done in seperated bits, really gutted, the amount of work to get theis spoiler back into shape was unreal should have just bought a new one. Oh well got a decision to make now. All that aside I'm still not sure i prefer it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Bummer Jake. Sorry to hear that mate. I'm also not sure on the TRD, tbh. I thought the back of your car was spot on as it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the trd tbh mate but thats maybe because mine is the same lower ridox and trd combo, if you can make it fit by stretching the holes in the bootlid i think its worth it, if not then im sure you will get a good price for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the back of your car was spot on as it was. Thanks for the kind words, it is a pain, I may try have a play and see if I can get it to fit then I can chop and change as I wish. I prefer the trd tbh mate but thats maybe because mine is the same lower ridox and trd combo, if you can make it fit by stretching the holes in the bootlid i think its worth it, if not then im sure you will get a good price for it Thanks, yeah I do like it as it fairly angular so plays of the diffuser, but equally I like the oem to complement the curve of the archs. May sell it not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 TRD ftw Your a fan then I have three options when it comes to the wing. 1. Move the fixings on the up right to get it to fit. 2. Remove the lip, then re spray the boot and then re fit the lip and trd 3. Drill the wholes out to fit. Or could just scrap the idea entirely and keep the stock, really not sure.

Rich.2211 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Looks much better without the front plate. Which is coincidentally the reason I have just had my front bumper smoothed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Just ordered some Candy Red paint for some changes under the bonnet. Started stripping down an OEM P/S pulley today that is all ready now, got two more pulleys to do. Also half way through stripping down the Y-pipe and throttle body. Decided to sand it smooth to remove the texture it comes with as standard, and i am going to try removing the casting marks too. Oh and have a new set of cam covers on the way these are going to be stripped down and either polished to a higher finish than my current ones or going to paint 199.

ripped_fear Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Been stripping down the pulleys, half way there, washing them yesterday may have been a bad decision as they have gone a bit brown lol. Also an update on the y-pipe. The texture is going, and some of the casting marks removed, my hand have decided enough is enough for one night. lol Numbers removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I can appreciate the hard work on the throttle and Y branch mate. I haven't done it myself but recently bought some from here and can tell there is some serious elbow grease involved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
