It does have a bit of 'chav' factor about it, but to be fair you've modified it well/tastefully. As long as you don't wear a Mckenzie hoodie and wear a baseball cap backwards whilst driving it, I'd say keep it. It's a lovely example and you know you'll regret selling it. (I think deep down you know the answer, but need some reassurance that you don't look like an old fool, which I'm sure you don't.)
Many Supras were molested, shame as they were up there often compared to a cheap Ferrari when new, looked stunning and the performance was incredible in its day. The 2JZ-GTE was an absolute gem.
Rubbished by bad taste.
Yours is very nice indeed, I prefer the standard rear lights though

Upon seeing your Supra the word Chav did spring to mind but quickly afterwards I appreciated how subtle it really is and how it is so very close to how I would have one (If I could afford one!). We are all different but I personally feel that if it had the toyota emblem badges back on, standard lights and the wheels painted in a dark grey colour rather than black then I think my immediate though upon seeing it for the first time would have been "enthusiast". I know none of those things detract from its performance but its just how I'm wired I guess!
Bloody nice car and I think it would be criminal to get rid of it if you didnt have to! (I'm a die hard TVR fan....!)

I think with so many of these falling into the hands of people who can't afford to maintain them / modify them to a high standard then good examples will get very thin on the ground (if they aren't already).
I don't like the rear light clusters, or the absence of a spoiler, but these are minor gripes on what is otherwise a lovely looking car! You'll definitely regret selling it.

liking the rear spoiler delete, subtle, rear lights look modern and not 'aftermarket', imo if the wheels were resprayed silver it would suit the look of a refined supra and owner.
certainly wouldn't sell it if it were mine, and could afford to keep it.
fell into the trap of getting bored of cars I'd sorted out and had for 5 - 7yrs, always regretted selling them. did it twice, no more.

The 'chav' era of them is more or less over, another few years and the only ones left will be the standard and the tasteful. I can see a point in the not too distant future where getting a car like that will be very difficult, at which point you will happily lose a limb to get it back.
Don't sell it, but most of all stop giving a f
k about what other people may be thinking. If you do stuff to fit then you're doing it wrong.

More relevant was the fact it was driven by a 55 year old! so don't think a car like that is too young.
Lovely Supra by the way too!!
