Big Supes Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Great project mate. Was pretty much what I was going to do to mine a while back, but couldn't bring myself to hack up the shell. Kudos for just going ahead with what you want to do with the car. I'm sure it wasn't a decision you made lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos for just going ahead with what you want to do with the car. I'm sure it wasn't a decision you made lightly. Cheers mate yeah I definately thought about it a lot but thought aslong as all the precautions are done to make sure it's strong enough and well protected (inner linings from road dirt and cut edges coated etc...) then as it's not my daily it should be fine and last a long time, iv always wanted a wide arch one and is more practical for traction as I can put bigger tyres on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Got my gauge pod back today from being re-trimmed in the same leather as the interior, well happy with it....

Thanks mate Yes its staying white, I was very dubious about cutting up the shell but iv personally always wanted a widearch supra so I thought I might aswell go ahead with it plus its more practical that I can put the wider wheels on to get some more traction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
