^I was just saying the same thing to a few buddys. I was thinking a larger lip spoiler like the is style and keep the roof spoiler or maybe just remove both an go clean..(maybe even shave trunk emblem, emblemless grill) gonna wait and see how the rear lip looks when its done.

Super slow at work today so Ill post some newer pics of the ride. I decided to wrap the jdm dbl din kit, shift console and door handles in the same suede as opposed to painting it shiny black. It came out really well but im still undecided if I would have prefered the paint. I also had a suede shift boot made which I love. What do u guys think?..





random pic of my car at S&R performance about to install rougue short shifter and buying the liscence for an osiris reflash..cant wait till its tuned. Waiting for a ROM from uprev for the early model sedans..apparently the ecu is different than coupes in 2003.5 models. The supra in the pic has a huge t88(I believe) single turbo and mustang rear end, the 350 on the lift has a vortech with a stealth powercoated black intercooler (lovin' the idea hmm..) ,a big turbo suby and a brand new sti on the dyno making nearly 4 to the wheels. Enjoy.

shift boot is nice. It would have painted the console gloss black though and leave the shift boot seude. Would have a graet contrast. Otherwise, nice job

That looks hot. I think i would have done only the shift boot suede though and did the center console black. It looks good, but it might be a tad bit too much there.


What is the fender emblem? Also, what roof spoiler is that?

Thanks for the comments guys. I didnt do the gloss paint b/c I thought there would be too many different shades of black in the car. Its already almost three tone with the oem dash and carpet being different colors...plus the suede is just soo soft. To answer some of the ?'s; the fender emblem is the "silver shield" version of the skyline gt r32 emblem. the oem all silver version of this
roof spoiler is the kakuemi (sp) from ebay.
Sorry i didnt answer these earlier.. I live in South Tampa off bayshore near Hyde Park. I got the wheels painted by Greg at hot wheel systems, if i had to do it again i might have checked out Glens wheel polishing first..but they came out very well.

I like the boot but I also think the trim would look better painted. It looks like you did a good job on it.

Gotta get those CDs out of there lol. No MP3 or memory stick?

Yeah i have an ipod hardwired in the glove box. But honestly the visors arent wrapped in the same suede as the headliner and they look a little off, so the cd holders are a ghetto fix for now.. I cant decide if it would look better to just take the visors out untill i have time to remove the mirror assebly to wrap them in the right suede, or just stick with the cd cases. your right tho they look terrible.

Shift boot is nice! Would add some nice contrast if you could find a chrome ring to go around it.

I think you went the right route with the suede over the black. Too much gloss black will kill it IMO.

Good work

I found the roof spoiler on ebay. Considering it. How do you like the fit and finish of it? How is the paint holding up? Is it worth it in terms of quality?
