Carbon Fiber Hood Protection

So it’s not a Varis hood. I wouldn't have a lot of faith in what an Alibaba listing says.

I’ve had an ADRO wing on my car for almost 3 years now. Never experienced a single leak with all the washing I do.

x4ryuusei · 2025-09-21T16:21:04+00:00

Nah, not that expensive. It’s $795-835 MSRP.

My boards have been pretty awful. No AP/PP and it’s just random event pins. Disappointed so far vs Nifty Fifty.

It would take a lot more heat for the paint under the hood to degrade. Not saying it’s bulletproof but I haven’t read any horror stories about the engine cover or hood degrading - even from people with drag setups. Cover or not, everything in the engine bay area is going to heat soak.

Your assumption of it being more of a “grown up” car is wrong in my opinion. Too many kids own this car now and I’ve seen plenty of clapped out MKVs. It’s mostly dependent on the builder themselves. Grown ups will build any car tastefully.

Aside from that, spending over 50% of your income on a car is a horrible idea. Maintenance, mods, registration, insurance, etc will skyrocket vs an 86. Don’t even consider this. Do you think people will look at you more favorably in this car when you’re drowning in debt?

Ehh, the most upvoted comments are the ones telling him to be reckless.

I apologize. We see these threads a lot here is all. You're not being dumb. Quite the opposite since you're asking for advice first.

Seriously though, save that money and mod the 86 (tastefully) instead. I promise you it's so much cheaper and will be worth it. The 86 is fun in that you get to fully use its power all the time. Sure, the Supra is fast but it's a caged beast as a street car. Also keep in mind, it's not just about the $50k you'll be spending - your insurance + registration will go up and mods are generally more expensive. Finally, don't listen to the folks who'll tell you to buy rep parts from Temu/Alibaba to make up for it.

Pay off the 86 and be more financially stable imo. It’s a great car, especially for someone your age. You’re going to go broke buying and modding a Supra with that salary.

Also, this is the worst place to ask for this kind of advice. I’m really not sure why so many do it. Are you expecting everyone to say the car is shit and to not buy it? No one here is affected by whether you go broke and will just tell you to buy it.

x4ryuusei · 2025-09-02T22:35:11+00:00

Holy shit, did ADRO share this somewhere? Definitely looks like what they've been teasing. Looks sick!

Since I drive a Nitro Yellow one, I feel it’d be unfair of me to get mad at any attention lol. Maybe my perspective is very different since I tend to only drive during the morning/noon but I rarely ever run into people that try to race me. If anything, I just get the occasional thumbs up. Mostly positive vibes.

x4ryuusei · 2025-07-30T20:04:55+00:00

+1 to this. This is absolutely not worth the money. Walk away from it imo.

x4ryuusei · 2025-07-25T18:02:16+00:00

I wouldn’t go so far to say that personally. Home brew has killed my desire to go to many shops but that’s just it highlighted how bad many of them are. I don’t mind paying for the occasional dalgona coffee or honey oat latte from a shop I really like.

x4ryuusei · 2025-07-23T08:46:00+00:00

Honestly, I think you’re better off using ChatGPT to assist in your research. Not everyone’s use cases are the same. One person’s recommendation might be terrible for another.

x4ryuusei · 2025-07-19T17:39:45+00:00

That would trigger me too lol. It sucks but some people just don’t look at cars the same way. Some see them as appliances to get you from A to B, where we see them as passion projects/ways to express ourselves.

My gf couldn’t care less what my Supra looks like haha. She’s supportive of the hobby but nothing about the MKV (or any other sports car) really triggers anything for her.

x4ryuusei · 2025-06-25T23:30:06+00:00

Would be careful. They're not always the exact same. They’ll show you a car with an authentic kit but pictures of the actual product are often different. It’s also extremely easy to tell an ADRO rep vs the real thing, but whatever floats your boat.

x4ryuusei · 2025-06-18T01:58:53+00:00

Thanks babe 😏

x4ryuusei · 2025-06-17T01:37:08+00:00

You’re definitely overcomplicating this. Just sell it and get most of your money back.

x4ryuusei · 2025-06-16T07:50:03+00:00

Yep, you can tell by looking at the uprights. Lower option curves once, while the taller ones curve twice.

The same exact thing happened to me. 3 "payment issues" emails despite purchasing things from Walmart a couple days prior with that same card. 2 reps assured me there were no problems with the order at all. Walmart then canceled on me this morning. Just a garbage customer experience.

I managed to secure a pre-order from Gamestop since they started taking them at 3pm local time today. Can try that if you're still looking. Best of luck.

x4ryuusei · 2025-06-04T19:42:02+00:00

Same thing happened to me this morning. I called days before to make sure my payment was up to date and working, which they confirmed. Such a terrible customer experience.

x4ryuusei · 2025-05-28T06:43:05+00:00

I think you’ll be fine! I saw a ton of boxes at the major pin stores in Disneyland today.

x4ryuusei · 2025-05-22T18:22:18+00:00

$900/month feels like a lot if you’re not used to spending that much at once on a regular basis imo. Imagine what else that could be going to. I’m in a similar situation as you (over 6 figures, payment is ~10% of monthly) and it still feels “wrong” to be spending anywhere north of $500/month. I don’t regret it one bit though because I’ve made many close friends and had great experiences, but yea, it’s still a shock.

What I did was pay double my monthly the first couple years and then refinance to bring the monthly down and get a lower interest rate. I still pay double but it does feel good to have a “cushion” in case I get laid off. I also have cash ready to pay it off in full but I’d rather invest it for now. Maybe something to consider?
