skyline1 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Love this car, will look awesome with the skirts on! Oh and nice wheels Cheers mate sorry if the pictures didn't make sence .. They would of if they were in the right place in the project but as they Arnt it was the best I could do really. Looking forward to the skirts been fitted , the bonnet will be the interesting part as I'm having a UK bonnet scoop fitted but smoothed in so it don't look glued on along with the washer jets removed too.

Looks great as it is I do love how it looks without skirts but the area behind the front wheels looks bare ... Hard to explain but just some random bit that I don't like, it just don't look right to me. Ill upload a picture that made me want the side skirts.

Usually I am a fan of stock body no skirts but in this case I think those skirts will suit the car. I think with it being de-spoiler'd and the lip + diffuser combo the skirts will bring it together. I think if it had a TRD wing or stock wing I would probably say no skirts....don't know why, hard to explain haha! In conclusion - this car + skirts = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I agree it'll look great with the ts skirts. Will finish the car off nicely. Make sure you keep the front lip and keep it despoilered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In conclusion - this car + skirts = I know what you mean mate and I think it all depends what skirts you put on the car too so these skirts are the best in my opinion and will definitely suit the car well with the diffuser . Definitely keeping the front lip on, its i painted at the minuite so I might get it painted a gloss black . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you keep the front lip and keep it despoilered Only thing that keeps coming to mind is having the low level lip blended in to the boot lid and abit more of shap to it and obviously painted white then.

skyline1 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Bonnet vent just placed on the bonnet to see how it looks and defo having it fitted but more than likely it will be blended in to the bonnet to look like a buldge . And the first outing since August . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline1 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 A few updates now on what's happening to the car Bonnet vent is getting smoothed in to the bonnet for a different look, also removed the washer jets and added some aero catchers to the bonnet also. All smoothed ready for painting now More pictures to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Awesome buddy - glad you decided to put the skirts on! They were destined for a white Supra with a rear diffuser when I bought them myself, so it is great to see them meeting that fate in your ownership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a massive delay on getting the fitted as they were meant to of been going on the car in January my paint guy said they were a good fit too so didn't need a lot of work to get them on . Just can't wait to get it back for some good pictures now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
