Good work on the paint.
I think the teeth need a little red shading.
I understand why some of the guys get mad seeing an '80 supra changed around so much I feel the same way when people cut up cars form the '50's and '60's.

The reason 80% of us buy an old supra is because that's what we can afford, not because we want to return it to it's original condition. I'm dying to paint over the teal on my saltare...
For some of us it is willing to pay.Quote:

Absolutely...but most of us would take a 2000 mobius over a 1990 bravura were they the same price.
How is the paint holding up? I want to paint my supra. I love that you had the balls to post it here lol. I think it looks sweet :)
Joli travail cher cousin, ton bateau doit faire tourner les têtes ! ;)
I would also like to paint my boat, certainly in black (mostly because of the water color on the hull at the end of the season ...)
Keep posting man. What about interior upgrades ?
Hey dude I think it looks great and it definatly gets tons of attention. The supra sticker looks sweet! You should tint the windows to match the black.
Awesome paint job!!!
Looks great in IMHO...
Oliver, your boat looks awesome! Don't pay any attention to these rude boaters. I'm sad that they cant simply be adults and keep it to themselves. But it's nothing new here...
After reviewing the entire thread the vast majority of posts are positive. I don't think its fair to condemn this forum as a bunch of haters.
When you post on any forum you leave yourself open to the opinions of others . IMO the best part of this forum is the freedom to give an opinion good or bad . When someone gets out of line they usually get called out and smacked by the other members. I think you can see that in this thread.
THanks everyone for your kind words ! It was a lot of work...
Damn i knew someone will point this out ! we thought about this but at that time we were so tired to work on that, we were pleaused with our work and we sealed all the paint layer with a lot of clear coat... But i do love a lot the broken tooth on the starboard side !!!Quote:

Our wood prototype was quite long to install/uninstall... And if everything works properly easy to install and not to expensive, i think we gonna make some ready to install package and sell it here for other member at leats SUnsport owner (the price it cost to make + shipping , not here to make any profit..but more for sharing with other enthousiast)
Sir you are 100% right , people have the right to give their opinion even if they aren't really kind !! Some forum cars make me save a lot of money for changing parts explanation or for tuning advice.... a well used Forum can be an infinite source of infos (how to,diy,plan,pics,videos....)Quote:

i'll take a couple and send them back. It's definately not good looking (Ghetto style) but extremely effective !!
Some people like original (me included) but i also like custom, sometimes it works, sometimes not. Its true to say the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally like it, the whole thing looks great. Its not something i would have thought of and thats the point isnt it, its called imagination and having the cahoona's to put it into action...so well done mate.
As for the point made earlier about *its what we can afford*, well i tend to disagree with that a little, I have a 92 Supra Comp, and i still think it is one of the best proper tournament boats ever made even to this date. As for its looks....it simply cannot be beaten, all others (other than the Flightcraft) look blocky and unimaginative, where as the Supra Comp is sleek and low. I could have afforded a fairly new Nautique but went for the Comp as its a boat i always wanted to own, the only other that has caught my eye is the Carbon Pro from Centurion as it is functional and imho a good looking boat. Forget MasterCraft, Nautique and the other mainstream Lego block designed boats.....I love my Supra, it always gets looks at the lakes because it stands out from the rest.
Well done for being creative Oliver.
Oh and my only real gripe would be
WHY MAKE IT QUIET :o
I like the sound of a proper V8 under load and WOT, its pure music to the ears of any petrolhead haha.
Im actually looking to ditch the muffler system on the TS6 and go mad on a stainless straight through system :cool:
Music in a boat is like putting loud music on and closing the windows when driving an Aston Martin through a tunnel.....IT MAKES NO SENSE, turn the music off and listen to the imperfect burble of the great V8 soundtrack, conversation can wait until you pick up the next rider :)
