A few days ago I found a stock '89 Turbo for sale on local craigslist. It was a reliable daily driver and the interior is in great shape. I took the plunge and bought it to swap the engine into my car. Here are some pics... My wife driving the car home (I had to go straight to work)

I actually like the 88 Supra emblem. I think its unique and unlike the current toyota emblem, it's not shared with camrys, corollas, etc. Agreed on both counts, lip and rims! I'll take a nine :) Thanks for the tip. Would suck to finish everything just to have spotty, uneven lighting...

Sure, I have some cell phone pics....

What type of front lip is that? Looks great!

LOL, I like it... Still not decided on the lip, except that it definitely needs one. Thanks!

That's my cue...

That's one way to prevent scatter. I wonder if the little square diffuser is still visible when the tails are lit. Any night time pics?

Pre-89 Euro? Ok, thanks for the tip! Yes, those rims are a craigslist special. When I recover financially from the bodywork I am planning on new rims. As far as the LEDs, I'm having a great time with that project, actually. I'm not using a guide, I'm just figuring it out as I go...

The body work is all done! I drove her home yesterday and took a few pictures too. Unfortunately it was very overcast, so I will post better pictures later, but for now.... What do you think? Now I need to find some fog lights and I think I will swap over to 89+ front...

Well, here's one arrangement (no photoshop involved here) ....

Well, the interior is back together, and we started to polish the paint last week. It's a little disconcerting to see just how many screws and bolts I still have left over... Here are some pics Now I am working on my LED tail lights. I ordered 500 superflux LEDs from...

Oh, I just found that in google images.

This is what the inside of the taillights look like. Thanks for the info, Poodles, sounds like it was quite the project. As far as circles are concerned, I think there is a way around that square diffuser. If the entire circle was diffuse light instead of pinpoint lights, and you had...

Hmm. Well, as much as I liked the bars, I may just do circles so that I don't have to experience the process of removing old paint, just to have a lens that is of different translucency than the two sides. Poodles, what was your secret? Do you think that if you had similar bulbs behind your...

That's the guy we're talking about, and yeah he did a really great job. The pictures I used in photoshop were his car, with his LEDs as work in progress.

Right. They'd have to be lined up in the small gaps in between the reflector.

Maybe, maybe not. Tekdeus was able to get a remarkably clear pinpoint design by placing his LEDs very close to the surface of the interior of the lenses. I think the same could be done in a circular design, and if you built an inner frame you could prevent the light from bleeding out of the...

Thanks for the video, interesting design. I'm surprised so many people like the circles...

Hmm, forgot about the keyhole...

Hello all, I am working on an LED tail light retrofit. I am still uncertain about the specific LED layout, so I thought I would post some photoshop ideas and see what everyone thinks. Please feel free to post other pictures or inspiration that you may have. The picture I used is from...
