my wife is pregnant with our first baby boy, and i would like to build up a car for him, so when he is 16, he could drive off in a cool ( ) car. my wife an i decided that the Fast and Furious Supra was a good choice, but we dont want to give him a fast car as his first car. so i thought about getting a naturally aspirated Surpa, and making it look exaclty like the one in the movie. so please can you tell me where i can get the graphics, stickers, wing, body kit, and everything else that was modified on the car in the movie, and if any of you know the paint code to the orange color, that would be really helpfull. i want my son to drive the exact same car! but the only problem is that it will be N/A, and the one in the movie was turbo charged, so i would also like to find a place that sells the N/A blow off valves and plastic FMICs. also, since i want it to be exactly like the real FATF Supra, it has to have a boost gauge. how can you make a boost gauge function like it does on a turbo charged car, for a naturally aspirated car?? is there anything you can hook it up to, to make the gauge biuld boost when you floor the gas??? one more thing...i want the car to have the same exact NOS bottles, but i dont want to hook up the NOS since it will make the car too fast. can you buy empty NOS bottles?? and just the bottle alone, without the rest of the kit (lines, fittings etc.)??

TIA, and i hope i can finish the car in the upcoming 9 months!
lol, Quote from "suprastore.com" on this supra:

*** BUILDING A REPLICA WILL COST $75000+ SO DON'T ASK UNLESS YOU HAVE THE MONEY ***
Thats the first thing it says.

You guys are idiots. You should have checked eBay right after the movie when they were selling the cars. A 16th birthday present? 16 years from now nobody is going to know what The Fast and The Furious is! And what a great choice for a first car for a kid - an rx-7, which is a car that is bordering supercar - not only is insurance going to KILL you but a 16 year old won't last a week in this car. Especially one made to look like the one from the movie - go ahead and make it, then drive it on a Friday night and count how many people try to race you - then think about what you would do if you were 16 and that happened. Maybe if the kid actually paid for the car and put work into it he would have enough respect not to beat the hell out of it and drive like a maniac but that isn't going to be the case. LOL I AM 18 and I sound like an old fart!
