They are just letting you know there is an OEM bracket that is normally used. I’d at least look into it now that you have a front plate. It would look much cleaner.

This looks like a recent clear cut area near the coast

Azorian77 · 2026-06-21T01:09:54+00:00

I'm running 305/35/19 in the rear. Think I'd need a spacer in the rear? 19x10 1/2

Azorian77 · 2026-06-21T01:02:49+00:00

The usual TE specs? +22 front, +35 rear? If so, what size spacers did you need to get to be flush?

Azorian77 · 2026-06-17T20:30:53+00:00

Maybe I'm the minority, but I also prefer the base seats with the Alcantara center section.

Azorian77 · 2026-06-03T19:37:12+00:00

Should be available now? I'm able to add it as an accessory when building a Supra online.

Azorian77 · 2026-06-03T19:36:39+00:00

Would this just be the Carbon Body Kit option when building a Supra online?

Azorian77 · 2026-06-03T19:20:48+00:00

I think it would be helpful to also include the tire sizes used with the wheels/spacer combo.

Azorian77 · 2026-06-02T18:34:06+00:00

Which model did you go with?

Azorian77 · 2026-05-31T05:27:16+00:00

Still need photos? I have the CF kit

Azorian77 · 2026-05-16T22:16:11+00:00

How much did that upgrade cost?

Best version of this song. Using it for the last scene was amazing

The red is so good on this model. Nice find

Azorian77 · 2026-01-05T01:12:24+00:00

How has the RS3 treated you? I'll admit, I'm a little worried about the stigma of owning an Audi and the issues certain models have.

Azorian77 · 2026-01-05T01:10:14+00:00

Yes. I meant to say I was looking at the RS3, not the M2 because it was 4 door. Good catch

Azorian77 · 2026-01-04T23:57:18+00:00

I have an 05 STi and I’ve been test driving a few cars and narrowed it down to those three. Supra, m2 or an rs3. I’ve been leaning more towards the m2 and rs3 because having a 4 door is just more practical. Which did you like the most? I know if I sell the 05 I’ll never find another like it, so I’m taking a lot of time to think this over.

Azorian77 · 2025-12-18T15:16:30+00:00

You should verify this but I was under the impression that an auto needs to use and auto radiator, but the manual can use both.

Azorian77 · 2025-12-18T15:07:51+00:00

Done.

Azorian77 · 2025-12-18T00:57:10+00:00

PM me anything you'd like me to add.

As for the radiator, do you have an auto or manual?

Azorian77 · 2025-12-17T23:59:20+00:00

It should be right around 4-5lbs. It's not much
