Well this project of mine has been going on for about the past 10 months. Unfortunately I don't have pics to document my progress. Me and my uncle set out to paint my car about 3 weeks ago and here is the outcome.











I know I got a little camera happy, but I'm just excited to have my car done. All of the body work was done by my Uncle and myself. I have to say that it did not come out perfect, but hell yes, it came out good! I still need to put back on a few minor things such as the fog lights and some other stuff. But other than that, I think that's all! Let me know what you guys think of the car.


-Thanks, Ryan

The front lip is an original Hiro lip. Very hard to find an original, and I wouldn't buy a replica because fitment sucks. The Original one fits PERFECT. As for the rear roof spoiler, I found a guy on Ebay who had an original Toyota one. They sell replica's as well for about $80.00 shipped, I think there was a guy on here who sold replicas as well. The replicas fit just as good as the original spoiler too. I heard that the Megan Coilovers give a great drop, but how good is the ride. I got ONE negative feedback from those so far. But that's just one oppinion. Let me know.


-Thanks, Ryan

nice color... 6p3, deep jewel green pearl? rear quarter panel looks good! already said, LOWER it more!... coilovers, not springs. very clean!



No, the color is a 98' Supra original Toyota color code. Imperial Jade Mica (6Q7). I also mixed in a couple teaspoons of gold pearl into it. So whenever light shines on it, it emits a gold shine. You have to see it in person, but it look HOT!

Appreciate it. I already knew the replica was 80ish, but how much did you pay for your original?

It was $130.00 shipped and it came with all mounting hardware required. A small price to pay just to have a Toyota sticker on the inside of the spoiler where no one can see it! Thanks a lot Griffy, it means a lot coming from you! I am in search of a next set of suspension, anyone has suggestions on any springs that ride good and give you a nice drop?

Quite true, $50 is a big difference. I guess if fitment is no issue, and neither is the mounting hardware, I'll go for the replica. I appreciate it guy.
