The meaning of supra:
adverb. (Latin, above; beyond.) 1. Above, especially when used in referring to parts of a text. 2. A term used in legal research to indicate that the matter under current consideration has appeared in the preceding pages of the text in which the reference is made. So they were all wrong.

At this point, I'll be disappointed if Toyota doesn't offer the camouflage as an official paint scheme.

Well that's just odd. Engine cover makes it look like a V configuration engine. Way wider than necessary.
EDIT: Just googled a BMW engine. Similar stupid plastic cover. Go figure.

While the camo is distinctive, I would not want it on my actual car, considering its sole purpose is to disguise the design. Drop 50-60 grand on a car whose design you cant even appreciate? Now if they did a special livery that was inspired by the colors/pattern maybe I could see some people buying it. But even then it doesn't seem to fit with the older target audience that I assume would be purchasing the car.
I think the best place to use it would be in racing. It might allow you to slip into the opponent's blind spot and pull off some initial D overtakes.

That one precedes the camo car being mentioned, it's just a traditional livery, and probably too over the top for a consumer car (hence it's on the racing concept). I meant something more subtle like striping/decals that incorporate the camo. Kinda like the TRD 86 that's coming out.
But again I think it would be best on the race car, maybe as an alternate to the one you posted.

Just wanted to compliment you on your Griever avatar. I bought the silver plated official necklace many years ago. I always thought it would be kind of cool to somehow use the pendant as a hood emblem/ornament. Of course I'd need a spare to do that.

I thought that cars with the huge plastic cover had to be taken to the dealership for maintenance. And cars, like ours with no stupid huge plastic cover, can be worked on by the owner.
