My Plan ...

This is my plan for the 1989 Toyota Supra I'm going to get ...

Wheels
+Get either the Enkei ZR1's or the Konig Imagine's or something else with a chromed machined lip
+Powder Coat the spokes black, keep the lip chrome

Body
+Get a conservative body kit (if availible for 89 Supras)
+Get a conservative wing
+Shave the scratch guards on the doors
+REAL Carbon Fiber Hood

Engine
+Umm ... I'll have to figure this out later (I don't know much about engine mods ATM) LOL ...

Interior
+Get upholstry refurbished with black leather
+Refurbish the floors
+Refurbish dash board
+REAL Carbon Fiber ?

Other
+Lower
+Do a non-flip-up headlight conversion (if possible)

More ...

JDM RULES ALL ...

Don't mean to knock your ideas here, but i give that list about 5 seconds after you learn some things about your supra (assuming you actaully get one). I mean most of the stuff you listed is non functional, or will function worse than their stock counterparts. Shaving the moulding would not only make it look less like a supra, but is a good way to get some door dings. Getting rid of the pop-ups will only accomplish putting LESS light on the road. Again not trying to put your ideas down here but you'll understand perfectly once (and if) you get a supra.

Calm down? When did i get upset? "Dat light conversion" has been done and documented atleast 20 times, and that's the only reason anyone does it, becuase it "looks good". I don't see the origionality of doing something for the 21st time I forgot to say good work on the body kit though, starting off looking for a "conservative/stock looking kit" is a good way to get started, at least much better than looking for a black widow or buddy club style kit. Money could be better spent else where though. So did you ever get the car Matthew_R1985?

Question

Why the hell would anyone want to get rid of those sexy pop-up headlights anyway?
