ShawnPreece Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 That looks scary too see the arches cut like that, no going back now looking forward to more updates. haha I know its very mixed emotions atm as really happy its coming along but like you said it makes you feel nervous looking at the arches as they are now. Around another 2 weeks (mainly waiting on a carbon upper glovebox and carbon air diverters from whiffbitz) and the bulk of all the changes should be done so I can get some good pics then will just be minor mods after that.

Thanks I should be getting it back next weekend aslong as all goes to plan so the week after il be painting the callipers, fitting the wheels, fitting my LED rear lights, fitting my strut brace and engine dress up parts then doing my fibreglass enclosure for the boot and all I'm waiting on then is my carbon air diverters with my carbon upper glovebox from whiffbitz and she'll be done for now. Well until after summer anyway and will have a few more little plans for her next winter when she's off the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Looking forward to seeing the kit on mate, are they riveting the rears on? If you don't mind me asking what sort of money are you paying for it? Or if you've got a breakdown how much to just get the rears done?

ShawnPreece Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) was hoping to get the Supra back this weekend but its looking like next weekend now just been sorting out my plans for the finishing touches when she comes back..... First Job will be to fit the gauge pod that iv had trimmed... Then fit the strut brace, polished fan surround, polished fuse box cover and polished relay box cover... Then will fit the OEM roof spoiler... Then the LED rear lights... paint the brake calipers after that... Fit the new wheels... Then the new Likwidart badges (without the horns)... Make the fibreglass enclosure for sound system in the boot... Add the 4 6x9's and the amp... Then just waiting on the Carbon upper glovebox and the Carbon air diverters to come from Whiffbitz and that will be done until next winter Edited July 20, 2017 by ShawnPreece (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Looking good mate, personally I wouldn't bother with the OEM roof spoiler. The rear spoiler is more than enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Looking good mate, personally I wouldn't bother with the OEM roof spoiler. The rear spoiler is more than enough Cheers mate I have to admit this is the one thing I am unsure on.... I will get someone to hold it in place when the cars back and see if I prefer it with or without Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I hate them, they just don't look right. Spoils the lines IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) My Carbon upper glovebox lid has come...... All im waiting on now is my LED rear lights that should be with me tomorrow and then its just the Carbon Air Diverters to come. All the rest is at home ready for a busy few days or maybe a week when I get the car back (should be this weekend) Edited July 20, 2017 by ShawnPreece (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Some very nice parts to go on I particularly like those rear lights. Never been a fan of white wheels though however I'm interested in seeing how they'll look fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poshmalc Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 What's the fitment like on the glovebox lid mate? Does it just bond to the OEM one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate yeah can't wait to get the rear lights on will post up pics as soon as I get the wheels on What's the fitment like on the glovebox lid mate? Does it just bond to the OEM one? Nah there are screws on the back of the lid to undo and the original cover will come off then you just screw this one in its place, not sure what the fitments like yet as I'm still waiting for the car back but looks like a very well made product so I'm confident it will be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poshmalc Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Oh, okay, should be a much nicer fit then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Unfortunately the car has been put back another week so I will only get it back on Sat 9th May now due to personal reason's of the guy who owns the garage, I wont share what his reason is but it is fully understandable so I have no problems with that at all. Just means I will have a rush on getting the finishing touches done before Japfest the weekend after on 16th May. That will be a busy week for me lol.
