imi Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) Just Thinking whether I should do something with the rear look of the car, At the moment it has a stock rear bumper WITHOUT any rear spats (pic attached at the bottom of this post) 1st Option - looking at either a Trial Rear (like the fact that it comes with the spats and diffuser to cover the fuel tank and give the car a clean look) - only not sure whether the rear spats flare out loosing the aggressive stock look of the car. 2nd option - Add rear Spats to the car (Blended in) 3rd Option - Leave as it, no spats.

supradibbs Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 spats and a diffuser or just the diffuser trial rear is so last season:p Seriously though i love the trial rear had always wanted one, just finding that now every other supra has one which is why it lost its appeal to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I would ideally like a Trial rear, as plonking rear spats on, without blending them in doesn't look quite right to me, but it depends how far you're willing to go. As for them being common, I think it finishes off the rear very nicely, hence why they are so popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannoSupra Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 II wouldnt put Veilside Spats on, go OEM spats to match skirts, and you dont want to put a Trial on, cos i got one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Trial rear imi. As Wayne says - everyone has one , but I'm not so sure. At the risk of repeating myself, when I've been to the Ace cafe meets, and Basingstoke, only a small percentage of cars have these rears. It's a bit of a myth IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Amazed that no one has voted for the stock look without spats What about my comment about the trial rear spats flaring out, how does that look in real life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Don't think that picture of the supra without spats does the car justice , the red supra with the blended rear spats is very nice and grows on me the more i look at it . I think it all depends on what type of look your going for , Do you want a modded lk or more of a clean crisp unabused look . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I do go for rear spats - they will be blended as I think they look ridiculous without. I do like the unabused look. If I do go for the trial, I will get the diffuser bit painted matt black.

hoff Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I actually like the stock rear without the spats. That is from a rear perspective though. If you have skirts then IMO it looks like it's missing something. I would go for OEM spats in that case:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Depends if it's a show car or not. My daily driver isn't going to have anything blended as it'll crack with the slightest knock. I liked the Trial rear style, but fibre glass bumpers will also self destruct on the slightest bump. Stick with normal stick on spats for a daily driver IMHO.

CarlT67 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Doesn't really flare out much, and yours will be black so it wont show much at all. I would go for the top secret carbon diffuser if I was to do it again, looks amazing... http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2834/4641/7084820003_large.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Either the trial rear (which i think looks mint) or spats, definatly not without spats, looks too soft and round, like its missing something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
