carbon boot lid on white supra yes or no

[hodge]

Ive been up to see jurgen today and he has a white supra in with a carbon boot lid. Now I didn't really fancy 1 for my project until I saw this now I don't know as I really liked the look of it.

Any thoughts. The only thing is I've bought and fitted half carbon TRD spoiler and carbon deck spoiler to my boot so I would have to also get a full carbon TRD to go with the boot.

If it's going to work, it's gonna be on a white one. I'm not sold though, have you any photo's?

[Ricky49]

Are you thinking about it because of weight saving or look.

 

I'm going to say NO.

 

I like white supes and with the TRD spoiler and the carbon boot lip it looks really good.

Not sure if it would look a little ott by itself mate. IMO at least have some carbon on the front too like Ganador wing mirrors and carbon TRD bonnet to tie it all in.

I know you said you were going to buy a carbon TRD bonnet and spray it white at one point

 

I reckon all of the above combined with a carbon effect roof (I.E vinly, actual carbon skin) would look awesome

[hodge]

It's abit of both but I'm not really concerned about weight saving as I'll just turn the boost up LOL.

Well I'm hoping jurgen sees this and posts a pic of the car.

I've got a an-flug carbon bonnet on order from Dusty which will be staying carbon and will be adding some carbon ganador mirrors too. Unfortunatly the carbon roofs are a terrible fit and you can't get vinyl wide enough to carbon wrap it.

haha. Never thought of that. But it's gona be 1 of the most expensive and quickest taxis in existance.

Easy answer, leave it carbon, if you don't like you can easy spray it later

[pbryant_knight]

I'm going to see Jurgon in a few days so i'll take a pic if he's ok with it.

 

I'd be inclined to say no though if it's for looks.

Depends what look you are after, if you want it to look good then spray it....if you want it to look crap leave it carbon

here you go mate

[Jurgen-Jm-Imports]

car leaves on friday morning so i will take better pics outside unit

[hodge]

The jury called Jurgen for picture evedance LOL.

[Dave17]

That looks great, now i'm sold, do it!

[pbryant_knight]

I'm still not sure. I admit though, it does look better with a white spoiler on it too. And it helps that it has the Carbon hood too, sort of makes it all match.

I'd go full carbon TRD or nothing at all.

I'd go full carbon TRD or nothing at all.

 

I agree do it!!

 

But maybe keep the half carbon on there to see what it looks like as it might look really nice and break up the carbon look a little

[Jurgen-Jm-Imports]

if you do go carbon hood you also need new rear seal from toyota this car is off to devon way, plus how many carbon booted supras do you see. ?

[hodge]

I'll be changing all the window seals when the car is painted anyway regardless if I went carbon boot.

[Supraudi]

I will take your half carbon TRD spoiler if you do change......

[Jurgen-Jm-Imports]

I will take your half carbon TRD spoiler if you do change......

 

off topic, i might have found something for you will call you tomorrow

[hodge]

Don't you want the whole tailgate with the carbon deck spoiler aswell LOL.

[SimonT]

Don't you want the whole tailgate with the carbon deck spoiler aswell LOL.

 

Ooh how much for the deck spoiler

[hodge]

It's attatched to the boot lid with sikaflex so it ain't coming off.
