Si_s Supe Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 I think this is a good route to take! I guess it's similar to Monsween's but stock plastics colour coded, then at a later date, a Shine Auto rear diffuser! Quite liking that!

Ian W Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Add a front lip and lower it a touch and then leave it imho. Would look fantastic with just those two subtle changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_s Supe Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 My big problem is that I can't find an after market front lip that I really like!! That's why I'm leaning toward colour coding the stock one. I think is one of the best ones but even still I'm not sure. Doesn't really follow the lines of the rest of the car!

Si_s Supe Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 AND...if I put one of those on, I'd definitely need skirts and spats to bring the sides down to match the line of the front! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 See if you can get an active front spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I am personally not a fan of spats, they look a little too 90's stuck on to me, I do however love the oem sideskirts on a stock bumpers supra (with a kit on, the dip in the middle doesn't look right to me) I think as long as you keep it subtle and tastefull then you won't go wrong. I really like the look of your car in the first pictures but do think a active lip or aftermarket lip would look good. I'd say mine is pretty stock looking (hhmm I know it's kinda not but I do still have stock bumpers etc.. Lol) oem+ is best for the supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markylee Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 AND...if I put one of those on' date=' I'd definitely need skirts and spats to bring the sides down to match the line of the front![/quote'] I agree , i think you should lower it first , then just leave her alone , it will look so much better, plus once you have lowered it, the lip will just be too low for comfort,when you saw my car last it was very low at the front, now i have the hsd setup its a bit higher at the front and lower at the back, but still not enough room for a lip to negotiate some speed bumps, so as i said at the beginning,just lower it and choose what you want to do from their.

Si_s Supe Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Just lower it and choose what you want to do from their. The man speaks sense!! This is what I'll do!! Thanks for all the input guys. Been much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimC Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I prefer the stock look personally but would do as mine is stock. My brother recently removed the OEM skirts and spats on his Supra and went for the stock like mine.Ill try and find some before and after pics of his..............

Luxluc Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I wouldn't color code the front lip. The stock item looks nice, with the stock (active) spoiler put out permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Lip and lower. Do nothing else Just like this http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z479/AilsaMX5/Suprapod 2011/monsween/DSC_0003.jpg That's perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen one of those spoilers before. And those wheels, although they are relatively common on these cars, look bootiful! Am I right in saying the handling is somewhat compromised on 19s though?

monsween Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 It really depends what you use the car for, i have fun on the backroads and haven't seen an issue with the 19s i have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
