WOW! Looks great!

Thank you!


Some progress. It's crunch time. Toyotafest is exactly 2 weeks away.

Headlight bezel

Chrome plated outer lip, powder coated inner lip, and polished center.

11"+13 offset. Outer lip is 4", inner lip is 7"

The centers will be anodized to look like this "Burning Black" Work VS-KF. (I've been wanting VS-KFs for a long time, but each time I find a good deal on it, I'm too late.)

man.. that gloss makes them look like candy

You are a true testament to "how much a person can actually pour into a Supra". (and my hero for doing it)

No matter how much I pour, the glass stays half full. :nono::cry::yikes:

(BTW, the powder coating company that I go to didn't have "candy" purple that matched the HKS "purple." The valve covers are actually violet that matches the HKS purple.)

wow.. love that PS reservoir. That is soooo beyond stock
No idea where you find this stuff.. but you definitely have good taste. Because I am stuck with the 7M.. I will keep my jealous remarks about the carbon fibre to myself.. lol

I took my old and busted PS reservoir and had it chrome plated to new hotness. The 7M has a lot of potential for sexiness.

30 years ago, I probably would have figured that out.. lol. In the old days we used to send everything out for chrome. Now.. its not thought of as eco-friendly I think. Powder coating and ceramic coating seem to be the thing. You just cant beat the polished look though.

Yes, the WG's will be vented to the atmosphere. The headlight bezel was wrapped with 3M Di Noc, but I took them off.

I actually underestimated the tire sizing. Previously I had 245, then 255, now 265. After mounting the 265, I learned I could mount 275s, perhaps even 285s.

More pics!
