Hello everyone i am new to toyota nation and i had a couple of questions. I really don't have a supra yet but im going to buy a 1994 turbo thats been in a crash that an insurance company claimed. It still runs fine but it sustained substantial body damage including the head light and tail light assemblies. So the whole point of this is to know if anyone knows of any sites that sell aftermarket tail and head lights , perferably euro, carbon, chrome, or altezzas

You might be in for more than just headlights and taillights with "substantial body damage"?

well, lets see, we can estimate a little.

It it destroyed both head lights we can assume a frontal impact with something. I'd worry about the radiator, headlights, a great amount of body damage, and frame (doubt it's straight) with an impact as such. Then with the rear damaged I'd worry about the frame some more and the amount of body damage required to damage those assemblies.

I hope you've got lots of money. Everything in the Mk4 world is expensive. Wide body kits especially, then throw on paint and such. My wallet would be screaming ouch.

Yep. Headlights and taillights would be the last of my worries when there's "substantial body damage".
