Bottom one has a wide body kit and different mirrors, vented hood and Bride seats.

That's just what I got from a single angle shot. Then there's wheelsets, brake packages, interior upgrades and engine upgrades which may not be visible, not to mention whatever else may be lurking behind the different angles.

Have some coffee man!



That's just it, every one of them is just fender flares/body kit and some interior bits. It's like how I feel when I see another rocket bunny frs. The stuff coming out of Japan is way more drastic. But I digress, I guess that's the state of SEMA and the aftermarket industry in general.

Nah, I am also kinda over it. I was following the development closely for years, scouting out for the latest spyshots of test mules and camo wrapped development cars, hunting down scraps of info etc... then the final car was a bit... meh. In stock form I find the Supra looks a bit bulbous and taller than it is in reality, it doesn’t give off the low, sleek coupe impression as well as it should. The bonnet looks too tall, rounded, and narrow, the fake vents are awful, and the stock wheels don’t fill out the arches nicely. But worst of all are these wide body kits the YT kids are slapping on them... some of them make the Supra look like a clown car or a 1990s batmobile... not a good thing.

For therapy, I just look at my 86, or at some pics of an LC500 (now that is one stunning car!), and the hideous Supras start to fade away.

It’s the least offensive, because it doesn’t have a ridiculous wide body kit.

yeah... also it hasn't been out for long enough for big names like Varis/LB Works etc to go at them with full out body kits that change both the front and rear bumpers. Those require a bit more R&D

In one Instagram post showcasing some of the sema Supras I counted 6 cars with pandem/rocket bunny kits...

By all means it’s just my opinion. I was just wondering if anyone else felt the same. It also doesn’t help that almost every tuning shop on YouTube and Instagram has one to “develop” parts. (Read, catless downpipe/exhaust and generic flash to get 400+ whp) in that respect this really is the supra of modern times. The motor seems to be loving boost and the fueling issues of the original B58 seems to have been addressed in this revision.

The wing is a little much, but I am a fan of this wide body kit.

Just seen one today finally and it amazingly took a while considering I'm in FL. Sports cars are a dime a dozen here.

I've seen a white one twice here in Dallas, Texas. It maybe the same once since they were both in the same town on different days.

Also rare here since everyone's got pick-up trucks and SUVs.

It was on the home from Alifia bike park around between Lutz and LOL on SR54 and it was red. Just saw another today though in New Port Richey on SR54 also, that was black.
That one was probably coming from the Sun Toyota over here. I imagine we should start seeing them pretty commonly now.

I saw a few on a delivery truck a couple months ago, but that’s about it. Yet to see one driving. Thoughts on SEMA builds? Any new styles or builds that catch your eye? I know it hasn’t been out long, but I feel like the modified ones we’ve seen have been kinda boring. Just widebody with a wild wrap and flashy wheels. Nothing wrong with that, but I don’t know maybe it’s just me. Perhaps once we see more of them on the road with people doing simple and subtle mods to them. Only time will tell, but the horsepower increase with minimal mods has been pretty impressive to be fair
