Guest mk47 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 that does look really good.. i think it does need a bit of a kit on to complete it though.. and definately some new wheels. its gonna be hard to choose the right wheels to match the paint though so should be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathew Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 i think a kit that kinda goes against the lins of the supra would add to the 'mean' appeal of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenauto Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 i like it, whats it like to keep clean ? Kinda reminds me of the Rat Rods(hope the names right) that they run in the states. They keep the colours/finish to a minimum and concentrate on the tuning and actually driving the cars. By the above I'm not saying you haven't spent loads of time money and effort on it just that it reminds me of these. As suggested slap a low aggresive kit on it and I think it would look even more menacing roaring up behind you and then disapearing into the distance. (as is the Supra way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 i hate the stock look but love the colour:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Take my hat off to ya for being different. I'm undecided if I like it or not - but i think the fact it still looks stock is putting me off it - get a kit and wheels on and i think it could look awesome But that's because I'm not a fan of the stock look. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Yeah, I like it. Looks very tough, like an old american muscle car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millsy Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I like it a lot, well done mate. If it was mine I'd whack in an awesome cage (matt black of course), and get the car sitting as low as possible. Keep those wheels too or if you change them, have the same finish done - no shiny stuff anywhere - total black out. Maybe some wraparound race seats too, hmmmm. Nicely done. Kinda ratty, but it looks like it's meant to be driven now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millsy Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Oh yeah, remember seeing a Hugo Boss paper bag once that was matt black with gloss black Hugo logo - looked awesome. Maybe some subtle gloss black graphics - you'd hardly notice them, but it you were going for gloss black wheels it might help and also be reasonably cost effective.

Cable Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I like it dude. As been previously said some nice new wheels would set it off a treat and I would go with some OEM skirts & spats aswell. As it is it kinda reminds me of the cars out of Robocop for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I really like that. Perhaps just lose the rear wing to finish off the 'raw' feeling of the car? Is it lowered? It seems to sit really well on those j-spec 16s Id strip it out too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Love it! Can't wait to show my mate Weeman, whenever I go to one of his vdub shows I head straight for the rat looks. Always been fascinated with the down played exterior and the awesome machines that lurk beneath. Well done Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Wow, that's different, well done for sticking your neck out Rik, def think the Rota GTR's would be a good choice of wheel for this look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
