zaheer0027 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) The carpet was a gross stained grey. I stripped the interior completely so i could clean all the pieces individually. Also removed the carpet. I dont have before pics, but here are the pics of the carpet after a deep clean and having it soaked in RIT DYE for a week. As you can see the results where bad mainly because i didnt use the correct method.

zaheer0027 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) So i decided to use DUPLICOLOR VINYL AND FABRIC (BLACK) INTERIOR SPRAY over the carpet, which worked a treat ! very happy with the results. Carpet looks brand new. Sorry for poor pic quality. Edited December 11, 2014 by zaheer0027 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaheer0027 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) So at this point i sent the car to the panelbeater to fit and paint the kit which, as mentioned in my other thread, was not done even though the car was with him for 3 months or so [ANGRY][/ANGRY] . At this point i picked the car up and its been in my garage since. I have now put the OEM skirts and rear bumper on until i find someone trust worthy to fit the other goodies. Pics 1&2 TRD spoiler also fitted but not yet painted. 3 boot cleaned and refitted 4 boot cover sprayed with DUPLICOLOR VINYL AND FABRIC (BLACK). big improvement with little fuss !! 5 entire rear passenger seat and plastics cleaned and put back together.

zaheer0027 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Seat and hood lining reupholstered. new gear gaitor cover and handbrake cover i have since sold the seats which, in hindsight, was a stupid move because they were very comfy. i currently have some cheap crappy aftermarket seats in.

zaheer0027 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 things looked good for about a week. then i started to notice cracking where the rear was blended. the front bumper was too low and caught everything and started cracking. the skirts were loose. overall not happy so i ditched the kit.

zaheer0027 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) car went back in to a 3rd body shop to have the oem bumpers put on and resprayed. ill be keeping it oem as i hate the maintenance factor of FRP. will add a front lip at some point. either the active spoiler or an rmm lip or similiar. very very disappointed with the outcome as i would love to have my supra in an aggressive bodykit style but just not worth the hassle of dealing with fibreglass and im not going to pussy foot my car around just for the sake of the bumpers. Mind the dirty state of my car. I took it out of my warehouse after a few months.

zaheer0027 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 XSpower T61 NA-T turbo kit kit for 2jzge these kits have mixed reviews and at the price, im willing to take the chance to push it to see the limits. anywhere between 500BHP and 700BHP ill be happy and will stop there. 8) the manifold is braced and quite thick and sturdy but time will tell how it holds up. does look rather nice.
