[QUOTE=ctzn;82897]The guy is pretty particular with keeping stock bodies, and I am personally not a huge fan of body kits, though a slightly larger, stock looking front end may be in order. I also am a fan of the wingless MKIV's and that would be something I would look into, though I can't knock the wing as it came from the factory that way.

Looks good. Im not a fan of body kits either, just dont like a stock front end if your going to spend money on performance parts.......at least let them do their job at maximum efficiency.
Make sure you get all the info possible on current owners habbits. From the pic it looks like a shift lamp mounted on the dash. Dont need that unless your red-lining on a constant basis. 6.5K RPM dumps dont treat the clutch, tranny, rear end all that well either. Im only mentioning this cause its been mentioned previously about finding a knowledgable/reputable mechanic to work on the Supra. The inline 6 is a GREAT engine.....but its not going to withstand hard driving forever.
Glad Im not in your shoes..........I would be racking my brains out trying to make this choice. Then again, Im strictly Nissan, so I guess it wouldnt be that difficult for me. Good luck bro.
