Hey guys, appretiate the criticism,

Here's a few things to clarify.

The hood (bonnet) is not bolted on , we just threw it on top of the car to hide the *special engine bay*

all the corners and lines have not been sanded down yet because we need to make use of hard edges for measurement purposes.

Lastly the last 10% will bring the car in unison together, the car was barely primered to take these shots and has not been sanded down accordingly.

with that being said, i'm proud to unveil a true road course attacking widebody capable of accompanying the widest tires possible.

someone spoke in regards to fitment, yet this is just the plug, maybe you were refering to the hood sitting off the hinges?

this will be a limited production kit, be on the look out for some in the US and Japan once its done w/ paint

Hi, thanks for visiting, nice to get to talk to the people behind it.

From my statement I said earlier it is because like you say its not sanded down and finished yet. Personally I like Supra bonnets that are lifted up and vented at the back, think it has a real race pedigree thing behind it......cant wait for the finished pics....

In fact looking at the pics side by side, that will be pretty spot on once you have teh square edges rounded off..........nice job, how much for the kit, or cant you say.....

if a bonnet is properly designed it doesn't need washers in the back to lift it up

thanks for the compliment, i'll post pics once its finnished.

thats not a problem,

the price was actually posted by whomever posted this thread in the first place since he copied and pasted from supraforums.com

if you would like i can remove the price from my own post but you'd have to contact the thread starter to remove the price in his thread also

thanks

it ok, but to me it steels the sleak roundyness of the supra, maybe look a bit better on something like a sykline r34, or something a bit more square

I like the JGTC supras very much, & this kit looks like it will be very nice. It's just missing one thing though - the very high wheel arches that allow the suspension to be so low & giving it that proper racecar look.
