[@ahualoa6]

This was super helpful, I heard lots of complaints (and experienced on test drive) about wind buffeting but no one else seems to mention the solution. Definitely grabbing the wind guard when my supra arrives

[@VinceChristmastree]

Thanks for the view! Glad I was able to help. You have options in that aspect that fits different budgets!

[@ahualoa6]

@@VinceChristmastree have you tried multiple options? Which one do you think is most effective at eliminating all buffeting noise?

[@VinceChristmastree]

I haven't personally. I've ridden in other Supras with different anti-buffeting kits on them and they all basically do the same thing. Just really matters what your budget is.

[@Defct_]

Love your videos Vince! I put a reserve deposit on a 2022 GR Supra 3.0 Premium absolute zero white exterior, red/black two-tone interior. ETA is around 8-12 months which is totally fine with me as it allows me to put a larger down payment, super excited! I’ll have to get these mods you’ve listed in the description, thanks for the tips!

[@VinceChristmastree]

Thanks so much for the support Jordan! Glad you were able to do it and the absolute zero is amazing. I have to pick my jaw off the ground every time I see one (which is rare)! It’s going to be a long wait, but once you get it…you’ll be so happy you pulled the trigger. I’m so excited for you!!

I’ve saved the link for the rock guards and will be ordering those shortly. Your car sounds great by the way. Keep rockin.

only thing i can recomend to tone down rock chips is to not tailgate other cars. + the pff. i drive at least 5-7 cars behind to avoid that.

Sure can! If it’ll help viewers then for sure. I can include the dash cam setup too just because they’re wired the same.

[@josephcaravaglio9204]

Thanks for your videos Vince. Just got my Supra and would love to hardwire the radar. Did you ever end up making a video about this? Would love to see

[@neverhomepnw]

How much are your payments and insurance?

[@jessec7132]

Would be a good video idea to know the financial #'s behind the supra for potential owners like myself!

[@VinceChristmastree]

I’m a little hesitant to make a finances video because there are a lot of variables related to this. So generally of course your credit will affect it, your APR, loan term, who you’re financed with, how much you purchased the car for etc. With insurance, your age, location, how many cars you have insured with the company will affect your cost per month. I live in Oklahoma and have excellent credit so those two variables will be misleading if someone was to live in higher cost areas like California or NY.

[@neverhomepnw]

@@VinceChristmastree Makes sense, thanks for the reply.

[@corndawgz]

it cost 1300 dollars to have a new repainted bumper. and ppf doesn't protect everything I know cause I had em on 2 of my cars it's a waste of money and yellows over time if anything just ppf the headlights and the plastic trims yourself instead of wasting 700 to 1200 dollars on ppf for the front bumper, side doesn't need it hood can be done easy doing partial front half by yourself.

[@VinceChristmastree]

High quality PPF shouldn't do that. I have a good friend who installs PPF and some of the cars he installed over 5 years ago still look great. Of course every work is different, but sucks that you had a bad experience with it. I would definitely be upset!

[@corndawgz]

@@VinceChristmastree that depends on how the car is maintained but yellowing and chips are inevitable because it's made from polyurethane.

[@VinceChristmastree]

@@corndawgz True, but for it to happen after a year or two is surprising.

[@electricmotorsports]

4 dollar magnetic vent mount from wallmart is actually pretty clutch.

[@VinceChristmastree]

I’m personally not a fan of vent mounts, but there are some good ones out there!

[@randyl699]

tuxmat is great! However, on my previous car, i couldn't get throttle to 100% with them on, had to eventually remove them. Hopefully these will be fine!

[@VinceChristmastree]

What car did you have previously? Mine fit perfectly and I’m not worried about them at all! If I do, I have a Dremel to trim as needed.

[@jortenthusiast]

Your buddy recommends PPF/clear bra to protect the paint, if I were to wrap the car with a different color would it eventually still cause bits of damage like it does now? Or is that another solution to avoiding damage/chips to the paint?

[@VinceChristmastree]

If you were to wrap the car, then that will serve as a replacement for the clear bra if you don’t have anything on the car. If you are asking to clear bra the car then eventually down the road, you’ll wrap it, you can actually wrap over the clear bra. I would recommend going that route even though it is more expensive (clear bra then wrap) so either way you go, the car is protected! Clear bra is the best way to avoid damage/chips in my opinion. Some people say ceramic coat, but the protection that does in regards to chips is minimal. The only other option I can think of would be to put painters tape all over the bumper!

[@jortenthusiast]

@@VinceChristmastree Thanks for the recommendation! I've driven around a few Supra's that didn't have the clear bra. Sad to see such damage on the car, will be putting that into my budget!

[@MARLICIOUS21]

Just changed my Toyota 86 TRD SE for a 2022 GR Supra A91-CF Edition🎉 can you please post the link for the kit for the rock guard and for the annoying air noise lol it is horrible!! TY for such a great video. 😊

[@VinceChristmastree]

All links are in the description! Congrats on the purchase! The CF is a sweet car.

[@GNoahY]

Hey vince, i do have one question, with it being hardwired for the past 85k+ miles, have you had battery issues? in terms of replacing the battery have you done that as well? i’m definitely getting the tux mat, rock guards, wind buffeting, and trunk storage for sure! thank you

[@VinceChristmastree]

Nope no issues. I actually need to replace the battery at this point, but it's overdue. I will be doing the replacement in the next couple of months! Hope that helps and hope that you'll be happy with the purchases!

[@throker]

On your wheel setup you're running a 40mm stagger. (315R/275F) That's a pretty big offset. Do you feel that the car understeers a lot?

[@stutank07]

Not to be rude, but your comment question is kinda hard to answer in that you’re using the wrong terminology and words that mean something else: “wheel setup” is in fact staggered if the wheels have different widths and offsets/backspacing, but “offset” has nothing to do with tire widths like 315/275. Understeer is when, for lack of better words, the rear end breaks loose so I don’t know how that could affect the mkv’s performance bc it comes from the factory with 255F/275R. It’s naturally a tail happy car from the kick, I know mine is

[@VinceChristmastree]

Like the above comment states, the 2020s are known for their oversteering characteristics so I don't thin the wheel offset/size would affect it all too much. I don't track my car as it's a street car/daily driver so take my comments with a grain of salt. Typically the oversteering and understeering characteristics are more controlled in the suspension and camber/toe setup.

[@bryant1351]

[@Memoira]

Which wind guards did you use? I don’t see a link for them. Also what sections would you recommend PPF? Full body is probably overkill right?

[@VinceChristmastree]

They're just Amazon door guards that are stuck on to that part of the side mirrors. As for PPF, I would say the entire front bumper, half of the hood, and side fenders. I speak from experience because mine are beat up after 50k+ miles at this point.

[@Memoira]

​@@VinceChristmastree Thanks for the reply! Are your doorcups and edges / rear bumper / rocker panels holding up alright? I was thinking of PFFing them but maybe I won't if yours are looking good still after 50k

Did you have PPF in this video? If so, are those chips seen on video under it?

Nope, no PPF at all

Great video! I just picked my A90 up last week and it's been a blast so far. My very first "mod" was to use bimmercode with OBDlink CX to code a few changes, mostly quality of life. I coded sport individual mode on startup, coded out active sound design, and auto start/stop memory function. Then I got the hypersonic mod for the wind buffetting. Next I'm looking for a lip spoiler. Question, is that one you have the rexspeed forged V1? How do you like it?

[@VinceChristmastree]

Congrats! I didn’t add any BimmerCode stuff on this video since I don’t have it for my car surprisingly. I love it! Really understated and I probably get more compliments from it than my wheels lol

Thinking of trading in my 2018 sti for a supra. Do you think its worth going for the 2021 model? They typically go for 4-6k more than 2020 ones.

[@VinceChristmastree]

Not really. If you’re wanting to mod it, go for the 2020 so you don’t have to do a bench unlock for locked ECUs that are in 2021+. I believe that few 2021s can be unlocked without shipping the ECU out if the car was manufactured before June 2020 or something. That date is probably wrong so I would recommend double checking. Some people are offering 2021+ locked ECUs like Visconti but it’s super expensive. $2k+ just to be able to tune your car.

@@VinceChristmastree 2020 supra premium vs 2021 supra base. Similar mileage. Both around 54k. Your thought?
