Like the little lip spoiler on the back. That combined with the chin spoiler make it look very muscular and "solid".

As others have said, it's a lovely design and surely one of Toyota's finest moments!

That looks fantastic with out the big supra rear spoiler twinned with the difuser.


Everything on the car compliments everything else..... big like.

AHHHHH!.I had a beautiful Supra way back in 1996 it had a full HKS upgrade and was so so quick I remember it fondly.
Still a great looking car today it didnt have the rear spoiler but did have a very subtle body kit.
I wouldnt mind another one to be honest.

Looks really nice! I have always liked the design of this style of Supra and it is one of the only cars that I can think of that suits modifying very well.

As someone else has said though, stretched tyres, in my opinion, really let it down but each to their own thumbup

Looks awesome dude love supras without a spoiler, it just keeps the shape flowing so well. Just watch out for the anti stance movement on here.

Thanks, i appreciate the positive comments, i understand that the stretch tyre thing isn't to everyones taste and thats fine, people are entitled to there opinion. smile

it's taken me 5 years to get to this stage and there is a lot more work been done to the car than meets the eye. it's a labour of love and worth it for me.

I like that a lot, I love MK4s without the rear wing. Wide Meisters work so well on these cars.

So what's been done to it then?

What is the "anti-stance" movement?
