JDM Body Differences

These are differences in the JDM MK3 Supras that can be used to determine
your supra year regardless of what some noob wrote on your rego ticket.

I Have found about 1 out of 15 supras has incorrect years on their registration, so here's how to tell what year yours is

(just as a sidenote these body differences may not apply to northern hemisphere, most of what is shown here is what japan sent to the southern hemisphere )

90-92 Supra Bodies

Electric aerial is still in right rear quarter

Window switches still smoothed out and flush in the buttons

Indicator/wiper stalk still smoothed out

Body moulding looks like this on jdm models

Windscreen Washer jets still the longer sleeker type

90 supras are still widebody
Yellow is widebody

Front Bumper has now got a new bit added in the center, has two small grills on either side and grill from bumper is no longer removable

Foglights are now square (Imports are yellow, nz & aus new are white)

Indicator Lenses are now shorter (imports are full amber, nz & aus new are half clear/half amber)

The nosecone badge is still

Taillights are still sexy

Rear Spoiler is also redesigned with the "3rd" brake light now in the spoiler

Steering wheels are now black, cruise control is housed in the center of the wheel

(pic comin soon)

And the last variation i can think of....

1992 Supras came with airbags and with all my time with supras, i've seen ONE! lol
Airbag supras obviously have an airbag steering wheel so it's the larger version of the 89-92 steering wheels
and the center console is much shallower than all other years as the control unit is mounted below it
