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!
Nice! The Supra always looks damn good in bold colors. Is that the first wrap you’ve done? I really want to wrap my Z4 but I don’t want to spend the time and money just to peel it right off again… My Z4 is the standard issue silver that every third BMW came in for years but since it was the only 35i with a manual in the county that I could find I figured I could live with it.
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.
I can’t even put a screen protector on my phone properly, ain’t no way I’m wrapping it myself haha
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.
Sweet Focus ST (and Supra too)! I had a tangerine scream ST in the past and that thing was practical and fun. How do you choose which car to take out on the daily?
Thanks! Tangerine Scream is easily the best stock color, good choice.
That’s a really good question though. I work from home so I rarely need a reason to get out of the house, but I occasionally do for groceries, dinner, and/or coffee runs. The Supra is newer to me, so I have a tendency to take it out more (especially if the weather is nice), but I try to give the Focus some drive-time as well, and sometimes go on cruises just for fun, with either car.
The Focus is also my autocross car, which I’ve been trying to do a bit more frequently, and I plan to do some track days with the Supra, but not as often. Also zero plans for kids, so I’ll never really need anything more practical for that, lol.
I still have things I want to do on the Focus too, mainly a bigger turbo and the torque gusset mod.
