Sub_Culture Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 See youve fitted the Sans Chapel Crux Type C roof kit in the first picture...smooth, my man. How did you get on with the Holy Water in the window washer ? Umm, are you alright, mate?.... As for the washer, just plugged it off. Didn't take too long to remove everything, and it has transformed the car. Cheapest mod I ever did do! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz supra Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 you keep referring to JDM look.... doesnt Japanese Domestic market mean cars that have upgraded parts on their car for late spec pars/alternative parts from the same vehicles in different model guises? ie late spec rear lights would be a JDM mod? As veilside spoilers are made by Veilside, how is that a JDM mod? Andy P.S. Spoilerless supes RULE! End of! lol, it's all personal taste. It would be like a Subaru club if all our cars looked the same!...

Guest steve77964 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I wouldn't have a Veilside spoiler as a gift. Or a Bomex front bumper for that matter. The Veilside spoilers are so oversized they look stupid. i can't say anything i have a hugeeee spoiler haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Now I've gone despoilered (from Meccano ) I love it! Looks nice and smooth, but mean looking at the same time. Ferrari never crossed my mind, if I wanted a Ferrari replica I'd start sticking badges on (I think I've seen 2 Supra's that have these on - what were the owners thinking?) Then again, I love the standard spoiler but fancied a change. I think that looks great Eliott. The rear lights really help with the look too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 That white supra has the best rear end of any supra i've seen. I'm tempted to get rid of my rear wiper and badge and everything too. looks ace - even if it is white! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my rear wiper too much to get rid of it, too practical to get rid of just for aesthetic IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee Ruin X Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 my rear wiper is gone removed it last week not much point when you have the veilside spoiler as you can't see anything through the window anyway, but I will be removing my spoiler again soon just to have another look to see if I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I'd forgotten I had a rear wiper. I wonder if it works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Mine works. I was driving along the other morning in brilliant sunshine and the wiper kept going every few secs, must've been from when I had last driven the car. I had a splitting hangover and there a police car behind me - could remember how to turn it off? Could I buggery. Luckily it was a WPC driving the cop car, so she didn't notice and pull me over.
