and to be fair..
i have always hated the front end..
never looked right was never sure why..

so set about a few jobs while i was at work tonight (ill get some better pics in daylight 2morrow)
front bar removed..made the front soo much better looking

hks stickers removed

and to finish it off i thought for a change.. spoilerless.. see if i like it

and i love it..

Looks loads better mate, I love the MK4 Supra with no spoiler. I take it you have some holes that need filling where the spoiler mounted to the boot lid?

Looks better with the front opened up and minus the stickers, but I`d stick the spoiler back on personally.

Imo, that's why the Supra spoilerless works comapred to an MR2. Sloping rear screen and a little "flick up" at the back :thumleft:

Although, TRD spoiler does look sweet.

Front looks better but am 50/50 on the spoiler front.

Can't decide I like it with it, but looses the Fast and Furious flavour with out it.

With some proper wheel to fill out the rear arches that's gonna look seriously sweet- any ideas what wheels your aiming for? I really like the black with white body :thumleft:

vega ive done it to mine while im swapping the engine out and looks cool but lots of holes to fill in the mean time... might get little rubber bungs to temp fill them until i decide whether to leav it off...

That does look insane...another one of Jurgen's imports as well 8)

I actually prefer the look you've got at the moment, with some bigger black alloys it would be niiiiice :mrgreen:

Hubcentric spacers are spacers that are double hubcentric, meaning that the spacer locates onto the hub, and then the wheel locates onto the spacer's hubcentric flange (just like mounting the wheel to the car's hub) You'll also need extended studs also.

Hope that all makes sense fella :thumleft:
