My 97 Supra

This is my 97 Supra. It's N/A 4 SPD Auto and only has 55k currently. I dont have any future plans for now. I would like to do single turbo 6spd but will see. Hope you enjoy the picture.

What I started With:

The new stuff on the right and old on the left, you can see where I taped it off how bad it was.


Flash on left with new polish

Flash on right with old polish

Under the halogens the one on the right is clearer and with two passes of each!

Now the Headlight lol
This is what I started with


And done





Update on the Other light with 50/50 and finished the wheels. The wheels came out ok and are clean but the clear is flaking in places so i did what I could. Here are some pics
First tape and to show the light

The Haze

50/50


Finished


Finally Finished with everything and I must say it came out better than expected. This was a LOT of work but well worth it as far as i was concerned.
A couple before just for reference.


And NOW the good
Hood Reflection








I bought these today:

Volks LE 37T
18 X 8.5 in the front +30 offset
18 x 9.5 in the rear +35 offset



Pictures soon when there installed.

thas quality work right there. Did you use the cutting compound on the lights as well ? I've heard about using toothpaste on the clear plastic, but I guess that also is a cutting compound due to the abrasivness...

Sorry for the late reply everyone. We used Meguiars Ultra Cut Compound. My buddy did the detail so i would have to verify with him. He put a lot of time into the lenses that's why they came out so clean. Here are some updated photo's with the new Volks on.
