Feed Sides On, What do you think? *Big Pic*

Hey guys, I havent posted in a while, but I went home and put some stuff on my car this weekend and wanted to see what you all thought. Sorry the pic is big, I editted it to use as my desktop on my laptop, maybe somone else wants it.



Here are the specs on my car:

1993 Base with 19,500 original miles
Streetported Motor with Aviation seals done at 18,500 miles.
Greddy 2 Row FMIC
Apexi PFC
Greddy Intake
Koyo Radiatior
Pulleys
99 Wing
99 Tails
Feed Sides
99 Lip
18" RPM2 Wheels

Stuff still to be installed (Sitting in my basement):

99 Emblems
Drilled/Slotted Rotors
Paint Calipers Black w/ silver MAZDA
Custom HVAC console with inlaid Commander and Gauges. AC moved to center console.
Eibach Pro Kit w/ Tockiko Illumina Shocks
HKS SSQV and Flange for hardpipe
Polished UIM/TB/LIM
Torque Brace
Switch for electric Non-Seq mod.

Hopefully I can find time to put the rest on this summer. I am at school in MD right now so its kinda hard to work the FD in, I feel bad.

I am actually thinking about selling it, but I dont think I can get anywhere near what Ive put into it, FD prices have just fallen too low.

Let me know what you think!

The Supra is my dads, a 94 TT auto with 36,000 original miles. 18" CP-035R's and TRD wing and exhaust.

Looks good. Very tastefully done. The Supra is cool too but it looks tubby next to the RX-7.

Now THAT is a clean looking FD. I was looking at the wheels before I read on and thought they looked familar. Hope those don't become too common.

Feed side skirts are my favorite. I was considering getting a set, but changed my mind when I found out you had to drill holes in the bottom of your car to mount 'em.

Sweet, cherry car, BTW. But why did you rebuild the engine @ 18.5K?

Your dad's Supra is nice too. With only 36K original, he probably could get for it what they sold for brand new!

Yeah next to the RX, the Supra just doesn't look the same. Chunky and round.

Those look great! They flow very well with the '99 front lip.

Actually, I didnt drill any holes in the bottom of mine. I just drilled holes in the skirt where the bolts that hold the fender on, and the bolts that hold the little black spolier things on, then drilled holes in the skirts where they ligned up with the rubber plugs on the bottom of the car, and just ran sheet metal screws into the plugs. This way there is no permanent damage to the car.
