As for me ... +1.0gs on this fancy meter and I have a red light that keeps flashing on the big gauge. Man is this thing noisy!

Beep Beep ... first modification will be a horn.

PM me for instructions on how to remove the stripe ...

pics or it didn't happen not happen

The stripe is the best part!!

I’m biased though. My One Lap of America race car uses those colors.

That's you? So impressive! Congrats on the effort and outcome. Have you posted about your experience somewhere? If so, please post a link or start a thread, it would be epic.

I was down with the stripe when I learned that only about 1400 would be on the road. I figured what’s the chance of me running into another rainbow stripped TRD?

That was until I took it in to get the nose wrapped and they showed me a picture of another TRD they just completed ... and then learned about 3 more arriving at the dealer where I bought mine.

“There can only be one” ... so I have to make it mine now.

Appearance aside, I love the way this car feels!

IMHO it looks way better/badass without the stripe.

Has anyone seen the new Neptune blue? Under artificial light it looks great, but in natural light (outside) it looks too blue/smurf like.

Auto Nation Toyota in Buford Georgia has a Neptune Blue in automatic... I drove it. I like the color but IMO it’s over the top. It’s bright to say the least ... it’s a racecar color.

Stripe just looks so out of place... definitely an eyesore. Best to remove it ASAP to prevent a "suntan" if removing years later.

Yea, another engineer (who also has an 86) and I spearheaded the project. We are bringing it back for OLOA 2019 with hopefully more driver training to go along with our Stoptechs and 255 rubber. I have a thread over on Toyota Nation in the 18+ Camry forum. Maybe I’ll put something together over here with a quick overview.

That sure does look like it ... complete with a Centurion auto hauler in the background. I think if it was a 6 speed I would have taken it home ... and then my wife would have asked me to park it around the corner. Tough growing old ...

Doesn't look bad in that pic, but too flashy for me. I like thunder, but i'm a little biased.

Edit: wow just removing the stripe on the trd improves it a lot.
