    So here is a picture of what the windshield trim looks like: And here's the back end of the car:

    I am very happy with the aftermarket windshield trim. Much better looking than my faded metal trim pieces. You can buy this new trim by the foot at any glass place (I would know, I bought 10 feet of it and put it on the one we already had, before learning it was too small) and he mentioned...

    Yeah, I took the plunge and baked the lenses apart, so I'm committed now... Yes, post those pics if you find them, I'm interested. My setup is not how I wanted it to be, ideally, but I'm so ready for this project to be done I will probably leave it like it is for a while. It's fairly...

    Thanks for the info, Tekdeus. I am a big fan of your Supra and your LED retrofit. You have any tips/writeups on the subject? I am still playing around with the led layout design -- when I started I wanted to find a way to light up the center section, but it looks like that's not going to...

    Again, thanks for all the kind comments! I was lucky to find a complete, brand new sealed set of targa gaskets for 75 bucks from a local mk3 owner who had decided to sell his car. The doors barely shut now! :icon_bigg The center tail section was a bit of a problem. I really didn't want...

    I thought about it, but I just like the practicality of normal door handles. I shaved the trim to update the style of the body, and the flushed OEM handles are a clean enough look for me. Thanks, powaz, I think the clear will leave a very durable finish. I am VERY fortunate to have this guy...

    We used a European clearcoat ($300/gallon) and put on about 4 coats. It hasn't been cut/buffed yet, we are still putting the interior back together. The "friend" price was incredible: all the body work for the trim shave, shaved antenna and headlight nozzles, color change paint job, a couple...

    Thanks for all the comments! I bought the Supra when I was a junior in high school and it was my daily driver all through college. Now, I have a couple of other daily drivers, so I can take the Supra out of commission for all this work. The master behind the body work is a co-worker of mine...

    Hello all, I am a lurker on this forum but I wanted to share some pics of the work I'm doing on my Supra. The Before: And Currently: Shaved trim, color change, 89+ bumpers and spoiler, bomex sides and rear, new targa seals and...

    Deleting zero-posters??

    So I logged in this morning to do my daily supra research and I got the message that non-posters will be deleted. I suppose I will stop lurking long enough to say this is a very enjoyable site with some great information. And some pics to prove I belong....
