I wouldn't do supra lenses :? . I don't think those lights will flow well with the box. But it's your car and your choice. Good luck with it.

Instead of Supra tailights, why not get two LED strips that they sell in custom truck magazines? They mount between the tailgate and the rollpan (or bumper..depending which is installed). French one in on each side of the rear window, running down beside it top to bottom. You can get them wired so they flash with your turn signals too. I think that's look pretty trick

I personally would like to see someone get a NightRider thing going on in one of the grills...top on would probably work best. Set up with an alarm or just to a switch or whatever.

Suicide the rear doors. Rear hatch, hinge to open from right to left. Fully retractable open roof. Hood opens to one rear corner and sits up in a diamond stance. Right-hand drive. You asked...

:? Chop the top about 3-3.5" - not quite as much as the 5-Axis job.

chop the top with a rake to it like 5 inch in the front and 3 in the back. then do a single inlet muffler with dual outlets that exit just aft of the rear wheels thru the rear skirt. , make a smooth front grill. and shave the gas door and put the filler behind a tailight or the like. maybe some led tails up the rear c pillar. . shave the rear running lightgs u know th ones in the bumpers on the sides. ugly and useless. suicide rear doors . front hinged hood. if i think of more i'll be shure to let u know
