I actually saw an 83 this past weekend and it had the 84 / 85 style billboard sticker in metallic grey. That colour looked really good, so I'm now thinking I'll go with the silver. Not sure if the sticker was from Raptor though.

If it is from Raptor, it will also have a misshaped S and TOYOTA too close to the A crossbar

The latest has been updated with those changes.

Final update on this, here's the silver sticker I got from Raptor:

We can always bitch it's not on the key hole as it's suppose to!

I don't even see a key hole on that hatch! Welded up and removed permanently?

Ha ha ha, I was waiting for you guys to mention the missing key hole / lock cylinder!! I don't know what's up with that, I guess whoever did the bodywork 15+ years ago decided to remove it. Same for the radio antenna!! A small magnet sticks everywhere just fine, so I think they welded it up with steel (same with the antenna hole). But I still don't understand why anyone would do that.

I didn't even notice there was no key hole / lock cylinder on the hatch until after I bought the car and the release latch failed! I had to climb into the cargo area and flip the little toggle to get it to pop open. And I didn't notice there was no antenna mount until after I got the stereo working and realized I can't get a good signal.

Looks pretty good! I'm glad they did the little changes to make it just like OEM

For reference, here are 2 pictures of the grey that is on an 8B4 car that would be the same shade as you need for a 202 car. One picture is with camera flash, one without.

A note about ordering a new hatch banner - there are NO vendors doing OEM correct reproductions that I know of right now. Some are very close to original - like Raptor Racing - but still have subtle differences noticeable to a purist/OG. If that is OK with you, let me know because I have a couple that were sent to me as test to compare with my original. You can have them for free just shipping. Also, many reproductions of the grey you need are actually silver

I was thinking about doing everything the right way by measuring each letter as it was applied originally and reproducing a set of individual letters, but it came out to be cost prohibitive for the few that would want to go to that level of originality

84-86 Hatch Banner Vector Graphic

Hey all, Haven't been on here in a little over a year, so there hasn't been a hyper-verbose tfphoenix thread for some time. Lets do this thing. TL;DR: Here is a vector graphic you can take to a vinyl shop and have them make you a new 84-86 "SUPRA" hatch banner with, or you could use a...
