I started this project last year, and now it seems that i will finish it. I try some new custom parts on it. First i started with the engine compartment and interior. here is the stock model:



the project:




I am testing new wheels for the Supra:

...and spoiler lip:


I will use plastic parts from 1/24 models to make a custom bodykit, small parts front and rear, and for the sideskirts, i will install nismo skirts from Nissan 350Z Autoart...! The kit is already glued and painted, so the next pictures will be with the car probably finished..!

Another great project!

The color is right but this hood scoop is just... weird...

what sort of style you are thinking about?? JDM Look, Stanced or Euro?

I would try on some of the UTL JDM wheels or something similar.

Don't forget to post the latest updates ;)

Cheers!

The scoop on the hood will be fixed properly, i am thinking of euro look, so i think uli nowak wheels with black inlet will be fine..

Looking good mate, would love one of these for my collection but Ive never even seen one for sale so your very lucky!


Ill be keeping my eyes pealed on this, your ideas for the kit sound good but something is telling me it wont look right, so I await to be proved wrong!


Top wheels you tried on look good, though with a dark/anthracite centre?

Engine looks good so far mate, keep it up and make sure you post updates, Im a big fan of JDM so its nice reading builds like this one

Hmmm

Not sure if Supras are ment to look good with Euro style.

maybe you could try to use BBS LM's or something similar but please NOOOO to porsche, audi, mercedes and BMW wheels... lol... they only look good on german cars

my opinion is that Japanese cars look great with JDM look and Euro cars with Euro look. I wouldn't risk changing the styles but of course it can turn out as something really cool and diferent, specially considering your last projects I am confident this will be another great looking model

If you are thinking about taking the rear spoiler off you already have a buyer for it ;)

Looking really good mate, I would change the bonnet myself, Ive never liked the original vent myself


Other than that mate, its looking really good, nice work on the bodykit and I love the little intercooler behind the bumper, really nice touch

Looks really good. Just a thought, what about adding black around the front headlights similar to how the rears are surrounded with black?
I think it would help the lights to be noticed through all the silver around them. I'm a novice at this myself, so I'm learning as I do my own, so don't take this as any expert advice, just a thought. Great Job though!

So i did a new bodykit, side and rear windows tinted, wheels-brakes, exhaust, bucket seats, steering wheel, multimedia display, hood scoop fixed and engine tuning.

Great mods. Those wheels you used on the silver Supra would look even greater on your black Supra if you have extra set of wheels. I'm lucky enough to have the silver, but having the red and the black is a dream come true for me.
