A Pair Of Tamon-Flavoured Supras

For my second to last spotlight from the Tuning Car World Showdown I wanted to concentrate on a pair of Supras that Tamon Design had on display. In the first general post from the event I showed you the red JZA80 that they also had, which is a more sedate version of the aero kit fitted to the two cars here.

Following on from the super-smooth conversion they did on the new-gen Daihatsu Copen at the Tokyo Auto Salon this year, these are Tamon’s latest creations. I actually find it quite interesting that they would choose the Supra as the subject for what is a pretty extensive aesthetic reworking, but considering these cars can now be purchased rather cheaply, Tamon are probably thinking that a lot of people wouldn’t think twice about going a little extreme.

This metallic bronze car was wearing the most in-your-face conversion of them all, where everything save for the doors has been replaced.

While the red car represents the basic version of the Tamon look, the pearl white example fell somewhere in the middle. The front bumper design is more subtle, but again, every single body panel has been swapped out.

That includes the widened and vented front fenders, which are shaped with flowing curves that meet up with the extended side skirts. It’s all very beautifully executed with a level of workmanship that makes the current Works over-fender craze seem so… yesterday.

You can see here how the bronze car steps it up a notch in every detail – from the gaping grill to the stacked canards. And yes, there is a lot of carbon fiber.

The big bulbous headlights have been replaced with fixed units featuring a projector insert that’s shaped much like the position lights on an FD3S.

Then of course there’s the rear fenders, which are unquestionably different from anything else out there.

The massive swooping flaring is part of a one-piece bolted on section that can be blended into the existing bodywork if required.

If the Super GT look is something you dream of, I don’t think there are many other JZA80 kits out there that come close to this. Throw in a carbon fiber diffuser, a ducktail extension to the rear gate as well as the GT wing, and every single box on the to-do list has seemingly been ticked off.

Tamon-Design-Supras-06

If that’s not quite enough for you, the bronze car sported a completely different rear end look. It’s definitely a love it or hate it kind of deal, but I’ll let you guys decide for yourselves which side of the fence you’re on.

Either way, it’s cool to see Tamon apply their manufacturing know-how to wild aero kits like these. Now, if only they would do something with the R34 Skyline GT-R – that would really get my attention!

Totally thought the title said "Tampon-Flavoured"...

2

I'm guessing this guy used to moonlight for Mansory.

3

Really hope this style takes off, the white kit is in my top 3 Supra kits of all time.

4

Ive always found this Supra generation to be a little bland looking, just a little. To step things up to this notch, I just cant imagine seeing this on the street. Track for sure.

No hate intended.

ridox sticker in the white one?

a little bit too much for my flavour..

7

they should still making supra.

8

so ugly i cried a little

9

It's a little too much for the external appearance. Looks like it's going to fly with the following additions.

10

Ah reminds me of old days when abflug and veilside was the stuff of dreams. However it's a bit too much for me, still i prefer this over the bolt-on-Fender stuff that has gone crazy lately. at least this reminds me of the good old japanese Tuning days ;)

11

Ah reminds me of old days when abflug and veilside was the shit we were dreaming of :)
However it's a bit too much for me, but i still prefer this over the bolt-on-Fender stuff that has gone crazy lately. It's at least classic japanese Tuning style. and doesn't look that cheap as many overfender kits do.
And seriously that duckbill Extension on the White car Looks great!

12

Great to see some people doing something different. The white one looked pretty cool if you're going for a track look.

14

If anything the white one looks better, but I think Monster Garage has built the best JGTC Supra copy, except with a soarer front end.

15

The front bumper on the white one looks to have some Ridox influence and the back of the bronze one looks like the Abflug rear end.

16

That shiet is ugly.

17
The average guy

Too much! Way too much.

18

digging the pearl white one.  the metallic bronze too, if only it didn't have that almost-predator mouth :)

19

Oh no

20

Reminds you of the "good old Japanese Tuning days" like back in the 70s and 80s when everyone used bolt-on fenders?? Jk jk

21

You even had their R34 on this website lol

22

Dino I don't know if you have checked Goo.net or Carsensor lately, but JZA80's are far from cheap and are becoming super rare. Usually their no more than 30 of the for sale at a certain moment.

23

Interesting direction....definitely some awesome craftsmanship here. I see some of the old Abflug and Veilside style, mixed with some Super GT or DTM aero details.
Still, not my favorite style. I prefer clean OEM lines, so I'd rather have some simple bolt-on fenders over this.

24

Still hideous

25

Beautiful, it looks extreme and it's not to everyone's taste but i like it. The white one with stock headlights and rear lights would be perfect imo, I personally dont like the headlights as they remind me of vauxhall corsa owners who extent their bonnet to cover the headlights slightly.

Do they have a website by any chance?

26

I'd be interested to hear what AMB thinks of the Aero-related components. It's a pair of interesting kits for sure, just too busy for me.

27
CharlesChris15

Im okay with the rear of the white supra, but the front of both are hideous. It should be heresy to cover or mess with supra headlights the way they did.

jbfromsiliconvalley

Why?

29

the bronze one screams Underground 2, sorta brings up memories!

30

Thank Dino

31

Wow.This is one of the first times I am to startled to speak

32

sex.
everything but the headlights

33

I see alot of good things here, a bit too much detail, but still eye catching.

day_old_tofu That's exactly what I was thinking and why I made this post. "Different" may not be for all, but it's good

MilesHayler Ewwwww

43

The creative lines have been pushed over the limit. Screaming for attention like a girl with too much make up, instead of flowing with natural lines and curves. That is the mainstream design of today, extreme and overdone. Unrighteous.

44

These pair of Supras are just sick! For personal preference, I'd still go for the Ridox Kit because Orido. LOL! :D

45
The Element 911

Totally agree. These are the most awful Supras I've ever seen. So sad.

46

Japanese mad max

47

Everytime I see cars like these I wonder how functional the aero is. Not that I care if it isnt but when you have people that style cars to look like race cars you never know if the pieces were designed just for looks or if they actually do something.

48

Great coverage Dino.
Great pictures as usual.
Please, if you come to Italy tell me... I really want to shake your hand.

49

speedhunters_dino iProGam3r whoopsie, sorry and thanks! great article btw!

50

Impressive, but not my cup o tea.

51

Hideous.

52

Smiggins Nothing positive either way.

53

Any chance of gettiing the color code on the bronze car?  Its delectable.
