Just laid on a colour coat as the damage hadn't gone down to the primer, and I didn't bother with the clear coat as its optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to do some work on the car today but it was only fault finding (turns out I need some new spark plugs.) Should get my FMIC properly mounted tomorrow and get my new brake lines installed.

miko_supra Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Right, got the FMIC all properly lined up and bolted on. I took the some of the a/c system off, the fan and heat exchanger, which saved me 5kg in total. New greddy front lip lined up and holes drilled.

SimonT Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 That lip is lovely i must say!! Was it a pain to fit at all and where did you get it from just out of interest?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't too bad to fit. It just fits where the stock plastic lip does. I bought it from carmadstylings on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathmonkey Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Oh god. Another black Supra with that lip - I am so unbelievably tempted to ditch the active spoiler, get that lip, a FMIC and a black respray. I need to stop looking at this thread!! Great work mate.
