Here's some pics of the Supra before and after the accident.

I was incredibly nice by offering to let my Aunt and Uncle park their Ford F-150 in my driveway and pick them up/drop them off at the airport for 2 weeks.

4am: I picked them up and my uncle proceeded to back his Truck out of the driveway. 2 seconds later the Supra is on it's 2 passenger side wheels and no longer has a recognizable fender. Luckily I have an awesome insurance co. so I got over $10,000 for paint.

Thank God I had my sawblades on at the time. My new wheels (Last pic.) get a scratch if you look at them funny.

Roman (Owner of Autocube in Kitchener Waterloo) and I tore down the car ourselves to ensure it was done properly and not just masked with tape. There is at least 20 million pieces of trim, fun.

What really sucked was replacing the 2-tone grey trim. Toyota doesn't sell the proper trim (Been through it before when some little assholes stole the trim right off my car 3 years ago.) so I had to ebay an entire set.

It's actually really difficult to see it's true colour in the daylight because it reflects the the sky and it's surroundings, the second to last pic was dark in the shop so I could really shoot it's true colour. It's awesome.

Looks good! The insurance company gave you $10,000 to have your car painted?? Which insurance company covers your car?

BTW, what exhaust do you have on your car?

Nope $10,000. (I'm Sarah. That's a lady name BTW;P) I am insured with "Lant and Company" out of Aurora, Ontario. They insure special interest and hot rod cars. I managed to get under special interest and am insured for $25,000 non-depreciation. Pictures don't do the car justice, it was completely stock with around 64,000 Kilometres on it. Not a dent or scratch and impeccable interior.

The debate was that it was a 20 year old paint job that could never be matched if painted partially. The paint was roughly $6000, replacing fender and trim, the rest in tear-down build up hours.

The insurance rate is under $400 a year. The stipulation is no winters and no daily/work driving (honour system).

Megan Exhaust, 2.5 cat back (came with the car) with a 3" generic downpipe (added)

Don't you guys have Companies like that? How does the ICBC work? Do you have to insure with them or do you have an option of additional coverage?

These are all I have on hand, ya the colour is really hard to see, sorry about that.

The paint is Toyota "Super Red II". It has a bunch of clear coat on it, altogether, I believe, 12 layers.

looks nice, love those wheels!!!

The wheels are slick, they are 2-tone. The spokes are like gunmetal and the dish is chrome. It doesn't read like that in the pics though. Thank you too.

Oh... I don't know how that got in there. ;) I have a build for a 2JZ-GTE in the works, I have not posted a build thread as I'm unsure of what car it'll end up powering. Maybe I will post the build anyway, just not in the mk3 section, not yet.

Edited for the correction: It's a Tial Wastegate, not a BOV ;P I'm sure that's what you meant anyway.
