I'd leave it black, I like contrast and I'm lazy haha. When you're ready for a seat and harness let me know, I may be able to help you out.

I have to give it more thought. Hard to do this car dirty or lazy when I keep it so clean

Black maybe an option as I think about it. Would match more of the interior. But then again it'll get hot AF in the sun so there is that.

Couldn't resist. Got it in the car, not bolted in yet. Wana make some floor plates as others recommended. I think I will infact leave it black. Matches whats left of the interior. Had a hell of a time getting the wheel well straights in. Maybe Autopower's jig is a bit worn... 🤔

Tight fit is better than a loose fit when it comes to cages haha

Thread is dead, site is dead. But What can I say, I still own the car and tinker on stuff.

Driving this car is what driving an early camaro or muscle car was to me when I was a kid. Everyone looks at it. And I need to burn off old gas, keep things moving and enjoy it.

Stubby antenna broke the antenna base... Had to remove vortex generator which was not fun... I think I'm going to leave it off and figure out some kind of delete for the holes in the roof. Also think I'm going to get a carbon wingless trunk for street driving and keep Kognition on the steel lid. Its a bit dented up from bolting the wing down and drilling a hole. But its hidden by the wing base. Want to keep it low key for street driving so remove the wing from the base, otherwise its way too much unwanted attention.

Maybe get the trunk lid painted and do the Evo 7 rear bumper chop and get it painted too.

yeah Im glad I went through with it. Fills a niche nicely which is practical luxury sports car. Its more supra than an actaul 2023 supra in my opinion. 3 liter TT rear drive with a manual and rear seats.

A couple pics from my cruise yesterday. Car looks much more stealthy without a wing and VG. Went to Solo Performance Specialties as recommended by Kyoo. They're only about 15mins from me and the first speedshop I've been to in Missouri. Booked a corner balance and alignment and bought some harnesses.
