Can you ship it to me so I can give everyone a better idea of what it would look like mounted... :naughty: :love:

[empera]

they're way too much compared to 89+ ones

[shaeff]

yes, i got it from toypro. :) i have an uber-crappy digicam, so any pics i take of it will do it no justice.

along with the body makeover that's been on hold until the snow flies, there will be no more pics of it. i just got bored and felt like making a thread. haha.

i also bought toypro's NSX headlights. ;)

-shaeff

[SupraOfDoom]

I remember where rare shit comes from ^_^

I was tempted to buy it just because

[shaeff]

yeah, i figured if i didn't like it, that i'd just re-sell it for what i paid. regardless, i love the way it looks. i held it up to the car when i got it, and it's awesome. i can't wait to get my bodywork done so i can put this on and my hatch visor!

-shaeff

[supra90turbo]

mmmmm... that's nice shaeff.
I've got some kevinM 89+ blinker covers for my car. Can't wait to install those along with some other goodies..

[shaeff]

why thank you sirs. :) i love goodies. i've got a list that's TOO large, actually! all this stuff, so little time!

and rich, haha, no i won't ship it to texas so you can sheist it from me! :)

-shaeff

[SupraOfDoom]

I think I had the last post in his FS thread asking who got it.. but now I know.

[OneJoeZee]

I think that's gonna look kinda ugly installed. With the single slip all I can think of is a cyclops.

[supra90turbo]

I think YOU look ugly installed. so there.

[SupraOfDoom]

Your comments always crack me up.

where would we buy these from please

[shaeff]

private sales only. they're not made anymore, and they're super rare.

-shaeff

[RacerXJ220]

Didn't someone copy the 89+ ones? Or was it these? I remember seeing them before.

[SupraOfDoom]

89+ ones

[jdmk3_87t]

Bump for interest!

[johnathan1]

That thing is awesome!

[supra90turbo]

yeah, i'm pretty sure shaeff still rocks.
holy old thread, folks.

[RazoE]

3 months isnt too old...

ill photoshop it, if you guys get some gangsta pics of the same angle...

[Dachande]

I did have a pic of this mounted (not that photoshopped one), it looks pretty cool..wish I still had it.

[shaeff]

damn, i figured someone would bump this since cryoslash posted the link in kevin m's thread. :) haha. if i had the car together, i'd snap some pics for you all, (got a better camera now) - the car is ripped apart from the doors forward.

keep an eye out in the spring, though. i should be ready to rock'n'roll when it gets warmer out. :)

-shaeff

[supra90turbo]

that's no excuse, mount it up and post pics ;)

[lagged]

that's no excuse, mount it up and post pics ;)

seriously. or let me borrow it until your car is on the road.....ill take lots of pictures.

[johnathan1]

I found a picture of it mounted!

[KevinM]

Not bad, that's the first legit pic I've seen.

[RazoE]

not as bad as i thought it would look like..

Id be in the market for one if i had a pre 89:)

[lagged]

id snatch it up in a minute.

[RazoE]

hey, if you look at it, you'll notice it's a narrow body...

thats a sweet asian-esk brick. hehe:naughty:

[ChadMKIII]

Looks a lot better than I expected.

Don't flame me, I personally hate the front of the -89's (Sorry), but that actually looks kinda good.

[OneJoeZee]

not my cup-a-tea...

[jdmk3_87t]

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b47/mightymijo/supra010.jpg

That looks alright...I think it still needs to grow on me...I would still get it though just because its different and rare.

[johnathan1]

I wanna know where to get that front lip...that would be awesome...lol, the company that made it probably went under 20 years ago :(.

[PROJECT N00b]

so is anyone going to remake these?

[johnathan1]

You know, I would consider trying to reproduce these...but I would have to have a perfect one to copy, and they are almost impossible to find :(.

[PROJECT N00b]

Sheaff *cough cough*

[johnathan1]

Haha, I don't think there's any way he is letting that one go...lol.

[shaeff]

heh, you guys crack me up. :) the car is coming along nicely, though, if anyone is interested.

i'm about to order some SS braided lines and fittings for my oil cooler to get rid of the rubber lines and hose clamps, use the stock oil cooler for my powersteering, and then finish mounting my huge ass IC. once that's all done, i'll start putting panels back on, then install the NSX headlights, and button up the front end for paint. :)

oh yeah, and it looks WAY better on an all black car, with blacked out lights, and tint... which is exactly what i'm doing. ;)

-shaeff

[PROJECT N00b]

NSX lights? huh?

[BorHor]

One day I will give NSX head lights a shot.

[shaeff]

for those who haven't seen the NSX headlight modification, this is not my car:

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c295/shaeff/NSXsupra2.jpg

i can't wait to get it done. ;)

i like mine better :icon_bigg

[Mr.PFloyd]

there we go! i was talking about this car the other day in the chat. now do a writeup pweese! :D

[BRIAN]

hey shaeff how difficult has it been for you to apply NSX head lights to the Supra so far?

Lets say from a scale of 1-10.

[mk3supra]

who sells the 89+ blinker covers?

[shaeff]

Kevin M. sells '89+ blinker covers,

and as far as mounting the NSX lights, there's a LOT of cutting of the radiator support. once it's all done, i'm going to reinforce it because i'm removing a lot of material. i can't give you a difficulty rating yet, as i'm not far enough into it. ;)

edit: i'm not a fan of the 2x round lights per housing. they need some sort of bezel around them so it's not just a hole in the back of them. (that's how it looks from the pic, anyway)

-shaeff

[RazoE]

^--agreed..

plus im sure it catches wind like a mo-fo..

[CF_Sapper]

what front bumber is that thats hot?

[RazoE]

looks like a stock 89+ bumper to me...

[BorHor]

^ looks stock to me............ maybe a euro version for the long license plate

*edit* I got beat!

[CF_Sapper]

haha no the one in the sig

[RazoE]

it was just an add-on piece for the plates, if i recall..

it's the reflection that brings out the two horizontal bars that makes it look slightly different..


NINJA EDIT: Looks like a Do-Luck..

[bondie]

there we go! i was talking about this car the other day in the chat. now do a writeup pweese! :D

What My Car????

[bondie]

-shaeff


This is with the covers off

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/bondie_rm/lights1.jpg

I have modified the stock headlight surround to fit the "twins" and it looks ok :biglaugh:

[yrallofthenamestaken]

i would love to have one of those covers.

[shaeff]

yeah, bondie, i bet with custom fiberglass bezel that surrounds the lights entirely, it'll look sick. :)

a brief update on my NSX headlight install- it's WAY more work than i anticipated! i cut out section of the core support that needed to go, and A CRAPLOAD of material needs to be removed from the headlight buckets. luckly, i have spares if i screw it up.

i still can't get the one side i'm working on to fit properly, and i've removed a ton of material from the car. this is proving to be quite the project. no pics though, heh.

-shaeff

[Divin' Devin]

shaeff-
where can I get one and how much? Can we find some and do a group buy?:biglaugh:





haha. you guys are too much. :) to each their own. i think it looks sexy!

-shaeff

[s383mmber1]

This thread = :love:

[shaeff]

haha, devin- you mean the pre '89 blinker covers? i suppose if enough interest were generated that i could lend mine to Kevin M. to get replicas made, even if it does make mine that much less rare. ;)

will- nice sig, haha!

-shaeff

[tekdeus]

[Divin' Devin]

yes, pre 89! lol! I Love that thing. If you are serious will you check into it. I know I would put up cash today for it( or that one:evil2:lol )!!

-shaeff

[shaeff]

^ tek- they're nice, i read your writeup on them, but they're too low profile for me. haha. :) i think the NSX's are the perfect height. if only they fit easier!

devin- heh, as soon as i saw mine listed for sale, i jumped on it. i had never seen one for sale before mine, and have yet to see another since.

-shaeff

[shaeff]

update: i'll be snapping some pics of my hacked up front end this week. the NSX project is a handful, most definatly NOT for the faint of heart.

you have to cut up the radiator support quite a bit. i plan on bracing it up again after the headlights are installed. i haven't actually made the last two cuts yet. i have to grow some real testicles.

-shaeff

[89supturbo]

Someone please let me know if this doesnt work on our cars for some reason but for about 100 dollars you can get a controller to lower your headlights any height you want, cant remember where i found the link at the moment but i heard alot of 240 guys use them.

EDIT, a quick google search turned up this, according to the ad it should work http://www.nlmotoring.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=4768

[shaeff]

yeah, i plan on using a pivot controller for the lights. that's not my problem. the problem is physically getting the lights to fit in the car, while retaining the pop-up feature, as well as not looking like ass. :(

i should have some progress by next weekend.

-shaeff

[1jzdreamer]

I look forward to seing the finished nsx headlights.

A while ago i saw a 91 (i think) supra with 2000+ celica headlights on it on ebay. Did anyone else see that or have pics of it?

[Big Wang Bandit]

It was on craigslist and its been there for like 3 years. Its hideous

[s383mmber1]

will- nice sig, haha!

-shaeff


Hahaha, yeah i saw that and was like ":rofl:"

"thats definatly Chris!"


You may have doubts now Chris, but i am SURE this is going to turn out amazing!

[supra90turbo]

I WANT!
I still think you're FTW, shaeff. Even though you don't think I still am ;)

Looking good, post pics!

[shaeff]

haha, i do still think you're FTW, i only changed that back when some kid i banned didn't believe i was a s-mod. (like the bold orange didn't give it away?) haha.

<---actually, i think you're FTMFW :D

-shaeff

[Loki]

I hate you shaeff :thefinger I've wanted a set off NSX lights for a long time.

[shaeff]

haha. you and me both! was it you who was second in line for the ones i bought from toypro? or was it idealsupra? i can't remember. :)

if my car was already in excellent condition, i'm not sure i could do this to it. sawzall+ radiator core support= :(

-shaeff

[Loki]

Pretty sure it was Ideal. I didn't have money when he was selling them.

[johnathan1]

Just make it look pretty, shaeff. :icon_bigg And make sure you reinforce it really well.

[89jdm7m]

so... what is toypro, and why havn't i heard of it?

[shaeff]

oh you can be sure of that. :)

he was a member of the mk3 community. toypro was his username. he still lurks around every so often, but he sold his silver 1jz car to jbsupra89t, as can be seen here: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4019&highlight=shaeff

Any updates on the NSX headlights?

[shaeff]

heh, not really much different than that pic on the first page, but i've made a few more mods (no pics) and i'm wicked close to having one actually mounted/functional. i'll probably post pics when it's functional.
