Similar shape to the Supra yes, but maybe 3/4 scale or so.

A few more pics of the stuff sort of assembled to give an idea of the finished product.





He also makes door handles and a little insert thingie for the tails to make them look like JDM '99-'02 tails.

So yes, they are the stock panels covered in cf. It's actually this guy who does it in his basement. And I care less about the perfection of the weave than with the fact that the whole panel is done up instead of having those crappy stick-on things that always look retarded.
