The 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo has gone through quite the change since switching ownership. “The car was in my family for a long time and it started as the base model, 5-speed, non-turbo,” writes Daryl Seepersad. “From there, one thing led to another, and in the end I created something that brings a smile to my face with every glance.” The build isn’t over just yet, with plans in the future to include a carbon fiber front lip and diffuser, BRIDE front seats, Takata harnesses, a set of rear big brakes, LED underglow, new wheels, HKS coilovers, custom gauge cluster and an APR 70-inch carbon wing. Seepersad also has a 326 power-style wing on its way from Japan, as well as custom LED taillights which are expected to arrive just days before an event (Tuner Evolution).

FAVORITE MODIFICATION:
“The little Japanese flag on the front fender vent. This is my absolute favorite because I was unable to find the original logo and could not find anything that would look good. After hours of trying many different logos the flag popped into my head, and since then, that has been my favorite. [It’s] probably the least expensive thing on the car.”
