Ok, Im going for a bit of a unique look on the supra Im fixing up (1986.5 MKIII), I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a MKIII shaved? I mean with the side trim taken off and smoothed out with the rest of the car? I am thinking about doing this because most of my trim is shot, and I think this might be a good way to go about fixing that problem. If anyone has seen this, does it look good or bad?? and also, does anyone have any pictures of a supra like this???? Spazzin360@charter.net....thank you.

I've seen it many times.

Personally, I prefer color matched trim to shaved.

The shaved look is old and played out IMO.. it never looked that great, specially after you get a few dents on your doors.

Indeed. Don't ever go to a supermarket if you shave those... and if you go to a Costco, oh dear...

I've only seen 3 in my life, all were online..2 of tha guys who did them shaved tha body, but not tha front or bac, so it looked kinda gay, but one guy had it all white, i think it looked kinda bad ass!...as for parking lots...i park at tha end cus my fat ass needs 2 excercise so that doesn't worry me

i like my wierd trim, dark ass maroon with the rasberry of the car striped in it? sorta?

88GTSboy · 04-27-2005, 08:30 PM

Well, Does anyone know where I can score most of the trim? Im looking for trim for a black Supra...MKIII of course?? Can anyone help me out?? Otherwise I think im going to have to shave my car!

shaved cars dont look bad...i never seens a supra dont but i think it should look ok....i rather have the normal look all the embles and two tone how the car came..my 02

88GTSboy · 04-27-2005, 09:41 PM

Yeah, I kind of like that too, but my trim is shot...My brother has a 88 celica and he shaved that, and that looks pretty damn good, Im wondering if it would look similar being that they are somewhat similar cars....maybe

i was quote 1200 to replace my trim from toyota... its not cheap...

i was thinkin of bein unique and goin and doin a 93 bmw 8-Series front end conversion... have yet to ever see one done, that is of course after i replace my engine and get it runnin around 400hp

omg
:vomit:

BMW front end on a Supra? I want to cry...

Acroth · 04-29-2005, 02:46 PM

^ agreed, i've seen some decent conversions on a supra, but stay away from euro conversions... bmw lights are popping up on everything these days and most of em look like ass...

god forbid you put something honda (i think these are accord lights?) on it but it almost looks nice:

i'd vote for a soarer front end swap myself, or mkiv front:

albertmdh · 04-29-2005, 03:07 PM

i kinda like it the way it is, personally, haha. I saw a wierd celica headlighs conversion somewhere, on a coppery gold car? had more of a 350z quality to it almost...

repinS · 04-29-2005, 03:49 PM

The only front end I give props to is that black Soapra.

88GTSboy · 04-30-2005, 02:00 AM

Man, I think that the purple Supra looks pretty good - shaved wise...If I shaved it and it turned out like that I would not be unhappy (Only I either want to keep my stock front end or switch to something like this "Evo body kit"). That or I could do something like paint the trim black so you can't see the defects...Whats everyones opinion on these ideas?
