i absolutely love those cars, but i love the stock body lines on them. i think the 1st set of wheels looked better, the chrome ones.

Stock body lines look better imo. As long as you are happy though that is all that matters.

That's a bad *** looking car. I'm not sure what some of these guys are looking at, but the body fits the car. You may want to take that mesh out in the front. I've seen some Supra's with cheesy kits and yours is not even close. Keep it clean man.

Are you referring to that kit on your Camaro? Cause that does make sense.

Nice Supra, but I'm not a fan of the body kit either. Prefer the stock look

Stock body please. That one is horrible. Car looks clean though. Wheels look heavy and kinda cheap in all that chrome. I really dig Supras though.

I think the look is a matter of your preference. You have a unique look that you like and that's ok. Some people like the stock look and that's all good. Personally I have seen some quack Supras out there and yours looks nothing like that. The lines on that kit fit your car, get rid of that screen in the front though.

The kit's not too bad, I've seen some ghetto **** though. Every Supra I have been in has been a complete POS, none looked as clean as yours.

nice car. as others said, its one of the few imports i like as well.

the problem is the front fascia.
where it meets the front quarterpanels is a GLARING destruction of body lines.

its nice and smooth and then just this giant bulge where the quarter panel hits the fascia.

the factory fascia looks so much better.
but... to each his own. at least its not a corolla or something hah
