I've seen people custom mold the Supra 3rd brake light right above the rear license plate. It looks pretty clean. I forgot which member here has done it. I think it was a silver GS.

the grey one looks weird and fat... weird as it shaved the inners, I like the inners, even if it's blacken out or the JP covers, but shaved looks too.... custom mod? kinda reminds me of civics with molded rear for different tails... just doesn't looks right somehow.....

how does the roof spoiler brake light gets its power???

ok so the trunk lid was wrapped today and has one layer of resin on, they are going to let it cure overnight, sand, and apply another coat of resin, sand, and clear coat it hopefully tomorrow. car is now scheduled to be complete monday or tuesday just in time for roll in at the World of Wheels Show on Thursday! Here are the pics I took today.

This is the top of the trunk lid



A corner view



and the rear shot, they are going to cut out the inner tail holes



There is a special custom airbrushing that is going to take place, you'll see what I am talking about when it is all buttoned up!

So if I'm reading right, you are keeping the steel trunk and wrapping carbon fiber around it? Sorry if I missed it but the spoiler also?

yes I am because no one makes a carbon trunk for the second gen gs except for trd and theirs deletes the inner tails. yes my replica jp trunk spoiler is getting wrapped too as well as my ugo roof spoiler.
