Hi friends! Here are my two enthusiast cars, a 2020 Toyota Supra 3.0 Premium, and a 2018 Ford Focus ST.

The Supra is wrapped (done myself) in Orafol Tangerine Dream. So far, mod-wise, it’s lowered on Eibach pro springs, a VSRF downpipe, and I’m working right now on installing Maxton front lip, side skirts, and rear side splitters. It’s not tuned yet but I plan on doing that in the near future!

The Focus has a lot more done, it’s FBO, too much stuff to list really, but notably: Modified Roush exhaust & cold air intake, BC BR coilovers, Tarmac EVOs, TB performance front strut brace, GoFastBits DV+ diverter valve (the turbo flutter tho), Steeda rear swaybar and end links, solid shifter bushings & short shift plate, etc. Stratified tuned for E30, but still stock turbo. The wrap is 3M Caribbean Shimmer and was done by Proper Auto Styling here in Appleton, WI.

I hope this sparks more people to introduce themselves and their cars, and I hope this community starts growing!

    Thanks! I absolutely love the Mk5 Supra. It’s not a Mk4, but the look of it reminds me of my earlier dream car, the Dodge Viper, and since it’s more modern and affordable than a Viper, it’s pretty much perfect for me.

    This was actually my 3rd wrap. My first was an ND Miata, which turned out pretty good because they’re small and pretty easy to wrap. I could have done better on the Supra but I blame the material (it tore really easily for some reason), I plan on redoing it in a year or so. Turned out really good, but I had to cut some corners and do the bumpers in multiple pieces due to running out of material.

    I’d still recommend learning how to wrap your own cars, you save so much money and it’s really fun when you get the hang of it. Just practice on another car before you do your Z4, lol.

      That long hood and rearward cabin look the Supra has is one of the things that drew me to the Z4 too. It’s not always my daily driver so I can take my time wrapping it and redoing it if need be, I just need to work up the will to commit to the time I know it’ll take lol.

        Believe it or not, wrap is more forgiving lol. If you get a wrinkle or over stretch, it’s almost never a problem to carefully lift it up and heat it so it heals. The real tricky part is not screwing up while trimming / cutting.
