Which common Supra mods are not for you?

Apologies firstly if this has been asked before, the closest I saw was 'which mods do you regret doing most?'.

I want to know what commonly seen modifications you dislike, dont agree with or just plain hate?

The Veilside 'ironing board/ picnic table' would be the most obvious one that is regularly hated on.

Personally, I really dont like the Toyota badge with devil horns that alot of Supras have stuck on them. Fair enough, its not a Supra-specific mod, but it just screams 'Max Power' to me.

Also, I dont think 'NAs' would count, as theyre not really a mod... ;)

Well you've got a lovely car in your garage, so I'm not going to tear it apart here - even though I've got a badge which looks as you describe, and I'm picking up another at Japfest on Saturday from the guy who makes them.

 

However, when I see a Supra with a fibreglass bodykit on it I cringe now, having owned and driven one for a few years.

Nope, just a failure! :D

 

 

- Carbon Fibre (unless it's functional)

- Dark window tints

- Wheelmania, TSW, Fox etc wheels

- Crap tyres

- Cheap big brake kits

- Huge exhausts on NAs, and Blue Flame exhausts in general

- Awful retrims

- filler

- body coloured dash panels (ok on black and gunmetal cars)

Sorry to bum you out but your top secret kit will have a layer of gel coat all over it which its basically filler:sly:

Tinted rear lights/c-west light covers... Hate them, chavtastic imo

 

subwoofers/ice installs.. imo most just make the car look cheap. (subtle ones can be fine)

 

The little spoiler that goes on the top of the rear glass.. Ruins the lines of the supra

I find the current party line "stock is best" annoying. Normally handed out by those with painted dash panels, bling wheels, carbon lips and rear diffusers. Oh and holes in their bonnets.

 

If you truely like the stock look then don't mod it. If you mod a bit your as bad as those like me who have aftermarket bumpers etc..

I agree with most of this, apart from tinted windows, rear and rear quarter tints look good on a black car. :)

Massive rear spoilers

Ill fitting gauge pods in the top glovebox area

Angel eyes

Chavvy number plate fonts

Ill fitting aftermarket bonnets

Dash panels that clash with the dash material

Boost controller solenoids hanging by their hoses in the engine bay

I prefer the stock 'plus' look, but I HAD to get rid of the walnut dash! The result was much better though. :)

 

Any extra 'air flow' mods, but I do like the Trial rear. :)

Pretty much agree with all that but i do like my carbon diffuser.

 

I will add TRD spoiler, never liked them, dont know what everyone see in them, stock is far nicer.:)
