I have one of those on my car, the fitment isnt the greatest, it is kind of twisted. But for that price its not bad.

I bought one off someone who was cleaning out their garage.. I forgot if they scrapped their project, wrecked their car, or just didn't want it on their car, but I bought it more than a year ago. It's still white/unpainted.

For awhile SupraSport was selling them.. and then when I was in the market for one, I noticed that it was no longer in their online catalogue. I e-mailed Jeff Montigny and he said that they didn't carry them anymore, but he was working on getting someone like CFX to make a replica, and he said I should stay tuned. A few more months went by and I hadn't heard anything, so I started looking around. I forgot where I came across mine - I believe it was either EBay or thepartstrader. I forgot the name of the person I bought it from - I wanna say Kevin Lubitski, but he's from the northeast, and I am pretty sure my part came from someone in the southeast.

At this point, I guess it doesn't matter. :arcadefre

You have to cut a hole in the metal of the bumper to make that work right?

 

[siman]

Yes, on Dr. Jonez site he goes through step by step on how to do that particular mod. Its not hard at all if you have a cutting torch.

Now some people, primarily drag racers, run WITHOUT the front crash bar..of course it saves weight...but in everyday circumstances...i dont want to risk ANYTHING..much less my well being!

Yeah, you gotta cut where your front license plate would be. There is an indent there on the 89+ front bumper. Should be simple.. cutting torch for the supports, get some fasteners, measure, draw with a grease pencil and cut the actual bumper with a dremel.
There are probably alot of other ways this can be achieved., but then again, it's not rocket science.

Um... how does this hold onto the stock bumper? The OEM has mounting hardware, but how does this stay on? aight peace :chicken:

^^^Exactly why the Toyota one is worth the money.

 

[Race Bred]

wow. I feel even more screwed over now : http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=274425

 

[bgrieger]

There are a couple of replicas that have the mounting hardware as well. I paid near what the real one is worth for mine, but being fibreglass, mine should be a bit easier to fit on the 87 should any minor corrections be needed to fit the older bumper perfectly.

 

[drjonez]

i've never seen a knock-off duct w/the mounting studs on the back. the inten w/the cheapo duct is that it will be fiberglassed in.

myself, i prefer the real thing.

 

[bgrieger]

I'll snap a few pics of it when I get home. Looks very close to the real deal, right down to the studs and license plate threaded inserts, but glass instead of urethane.


PICS ADDED:

 

[drjonez]

impressive! but i'll still keep my OEM.
