Willson Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 In the last couple of years, I've noticed a growing number of people referring to the Toyota OEM skirts as TRD. When people start saying that a car has a TRD kit, just because it has some OEM skirts, its got out of hand The ONLY body kit that TRD make for the supra is their widebody kit. Please notice the difference............ Oh and sorry for being a pedantic knob, but this has been bugging me for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I've been saying that for ages as well. I started typing a reply today to tell someone the same thing but I lost the will to live half way through. Toyota optional body kit is not TRD Thor Hub BHP does not = RWHP GReddy is not also know as GREEDY etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albundy68 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 i probably would have used a pic like the below for reference, with the TRD bonnet and spoiler, thats the whole kit! ] Agree 100% though OEM are not TRD! Spoiler or no spoiler though, thats the question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev.O Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Toyota skirts are not TRD ! I went to an import centre today and the bloke told me that the facelift supra that he was selling came standard with 18" alloys and factory fitted toyota/trd side skirts and rear spats! Didn't like to correct him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 The plural of nothing is nothing's. Surely Supra would be Suprae? Nope, Supra would become Supras. The apostrophe is for an abbreviation, in this case "nothing's" is the abbreviation of "nothing is". There is no true plural for "nothing". The "i" at the end is used when the singluar already ends with with an "s", e.g. hippopotamus -> hippopotami; cactus -> cacti; etc. but is not used when the first instance is already plural.
