Pulled the active aero and got the TBT Carbon Factory lip and side splitters installed. Totally changed the look of the car!
I am very impressed with the fitment and quality of the parts as well as the packing job.

Love those side splitters! How long did it take you to do the front seats? I've been looking at replacing the material on my S2 seats as the cloth looks quite worn. Those kits looks to be pretty well priced IMO.

Thanks! The seats weren't near as bad as I was thinking it would be. The most time consuming part is removing the existing covers and getting all of those hog rings out of there. All in it probably took me about six hours but I've never done any sort of upholstery before. I don't like real leather and went for synthetic with the novasuede inserts and was really impressed with the quality. The embroidery is top notch. The interior feels sooo much more modern, probably my favorite mod to date.

Yowzah! This beast is looking good, I really like the carbon accents on black. I was contemplating the same on mine and I think you sold me lol

Thanks! Now I just need to decide on a summer set of wheels.
The pictures really don't do the carbon bits justice. Hit up @tbt_carbonfactory on Instagram, they have a whole lineup of custom carbon pieces with really fair pricing.

What a transformation! Pictures really don't do it justice (and accentuate the minor imperfections in the install) Still have to do the driver side and also have a replacement gear for the power seat to install while it's out of the car.

Those seat covers look pretty good. Great option if you don't want to go aftermarket, as my stock ones look crusty and faded. How long did the install take you?

EDIT: I see about 6 hours. Overall not bad.

Can’t wait to see this thing progress as time goes on. Congrats on the jump from Subaru to Supra. Had an 06 myself for 11 years.

Swapped in some S2 tails and honestly can't decide which set I like more. Also can't decide on a summer set of wheels and am planning on finally installing the Brembo kit tomorrow so these Konigs, which were supposed to be my "winter" set, will have to do for now.

Also got the windows tinted. Here's the car fresh out of Exotic Window Tint in Buffalo Grove, IL. Highly recommended and the Supra was in good company. Even surrounded by supercars people were asking about the Supra and taking pictures!

On a black supra both s1 and s2 tails look good IMO. Good work.

 

[FZoZach]

Car is looking great man! Giving me inspiration for mine
Personally I really prefer the look of the s1 taillights on a black supra, but it doesn't hurt to have a second set either

 

[JetTech88]

Love the simplicity of this build, cant wait to see more.

Still haven't installed my brakes... but put a pair of Konig Countergrams in 19x10 +25 on the rear with 275/30/19 Ecsta PS91 tires. Was a bit nervous about the fitment but it fills the rear out nicely with zero rubbing. The concave "B" face looks soooo much better back there.

My stupid vanity plates also came in

 

[iwantablackRZ]

Not to say I didn't like the wheel choice before but those concave rears really elevate the muscular stance of the car. Looks great.

Thanks, I was dead set on picking up some Work Meister S1's but these really grew on me to the point where I think I'm just going to focus on other areas of the car. They're part of Konig's flow formed line so relatively light and strong, at least compared to most cast wheels. 275's are definitely the widest I can go though unless I modify the rear fenders, which I do not want to do.

 

[iwantablackRZ]

I actually got these same wheels quoted up over a year ago but wasn't sure on the +25 offset. I was also keen to go another .5" wider on the rears. As it turns out, Konig Australia don't stock anything wider than 8.5" locally making these a special order and after postage, not much cheaper than a set of Work wheels bizarrely enough.

I'm actually a bit jealous.

What is behind your license plate? Is it some cover to block the cutout from the bumper? Did it come with the car?

It's actually just an old UK plate flipped around backwards which covers the hole perfectly

Haven't posted in a while. I have more BPU parts sitting in the garage just waiting for me to throw them on the car (FMIC, whifbitz decat pipes, walbro fuel pump, and HKS fuel cut defender), but I finally replaced my STI and will have a new daily soon so am considering bringing it to Sound Performance to go single turbo instead.

Otherwise I've just been driving it every chance I get, which has been surprisingly often considering it's December in Chicago.
