    I don't believe that's what the OP was trying to say and the rear bumper is a trial rear bumper and not a doluck type 1. I personally like the TRD my self but my only gripe with the TRD kit is that it actually shortens the car in the rear by about 2-3 inches so in the end your car is wider and shorter.

    Do-Luck & Trial both have a very similar rear bumper.
    However the Do-Luck rear bumper has much thicker skirts than the Trial rear.

    No, the rear bumper on the TRD sticks out the same distance as stock.

    I have a MVP/TRD Kit on my own car before I swaped out the rear bumper for the OEM one. You can actually look at your car as a prime example, have you ever wondered why your exhaust tip sticks out of the rear bumper more than usual ?

    While normally the Apexi N1 exhaust just barely sticks past the rear OEM bumper?

    This is another example of how most TRD rear bumper seem shorter than the OEM ones

    That is compelling. I've owned both and they look the same to me. I'll put a stock Supra up next to mine and see when I have a chance.

    I'd really like to go with the following look:

    - Trial rear bumper (CF wrapping for diffuser)
    - TRD widebody fenders (front & rear)
    - Veilside overfenders
    - Do-Luck type 2 side skirts
    - Do-Luck type 2 front bumper
    - Seibon hood TS-II
    - 19" CCW 505a

    Can the Veilside overfenders be welded into the TRD widebody fenders?
    Wld I have to modify the Do-Luck type 2 side skirts as well?
    Also can the Trial rear bumper & the Do-Luck type 2 front bumper be modified to properly fit the TRD fenders?

    If all of the above can be done, I wld have to have all those modifications done before shipping to Lebanon.
    Who wld u recommend? Wld appreciate if u cld point out reputable body shops...

    Thx

    The TRD rear bumper is definitely shorter than the stock bumper (I actually would like the TRD rear bumper a little more if it was a little longer, maybe in between stock and what it is)

    My vote is for a TRD WB but I too am biased:




    - 1998 6speed Black/Black Genuine TRD Widebody
    76S, Titan/Crower 3.4L Stroker, Stage 3 Titan Street/Race Head, 19" IForged Astras, etc.
    - 1998 Quicksilver/BLK Supra
    6265 turbo, BL trans, 19" CCW SP500
    - 1991 BLK/BLK 5speed MKIII Turbo 64K miles
    Tanabe exhaust, downpipe, test pipe
    - 1985 P-Type 5speed Red/Grey Supra, 100% stock.
    - 2001 Sapphire Blue Viper GTS
    Borla, Fidanza, 19" CCW 505A, Eibachs, Smooth Tubes, Stereo, Navigation

    Not to hijack the thread (hope the OP is cool with this since he is looking at doing a TRD WB kit)

    No build thread but here some threads with pics (one of them has pics of the new brake setup, Stoptechs)

    Veilside overfenders are fiberglass,not steel,just as TRD panels,so they can not be welded. But they can be molded together. If side skirts are not from TRD widebody kit, they will require extensive glass work,as well as the Trial rear bumper and Do-Luck front bumper. None of these parts will just bolt up,all of them will need to be cut and widened for proper fitment. And I would also like to point out,unless you're buying genuine parts that were made in Japan, they all will need work for nice fit and finish. Let me know when you're ready.

    Thanks for the links! I'm trying to decide on a wide body right now and your car is very convincing ahahah. My only down fall is TRD is Fiber glass and i was hoping to stay away from that. I work in a Auto body shop and after a few years now i know how easy it can crack/spiderweb

    It's possible to do both the TRD widebody and trial rear bumper in a seamless way.

    Amazing car D3vious. Just stared at that second picture for like ten minutes. Is it Lexus smokey granite mica? I wanted to paint with it after my dad got his SGM GS350. Great color!
