^ lol thanks! Still needs paint. =)
dont worry about the minor things with the SC- the car itself, in my opnion, is a true classic, and I still don't think toyota has come up with a more provocative and truely emotional design since smile.gif you have a taste for the finer things in life for sure wink.gif

Thanks Saleeka for the comments. Bloodrain, I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about or not but the front bumper doesn't fit very well and will need a few adjustments, I will probably get to it this weekend.
needs wider and better offset wheels.
It looks too low imo. But if you like it, who cares! smile.gif

That's hot. But still not worth giving up a 3sgte celica.

Whatever floats your boat.

It looks very clean. Keep up the good work.
looks pretty sweet. can't wait to see it at the meet.

yeah i'm jealous... I did get a little chuckle seeing how your plates have EK in them, though wink.gif

Thanks for the comments. smile.gif

Yeah Lew, like Drocay was trying to say, these are JDM tails, they just vary by year.

I prefer the ones you've already got mate. not your car I know, but I much prefer these lights to the following years.

maybe tint them slightly

Thanks boost for delivering it. Fitment and quality on this kit is pretty good, so it was a piece of cake to install.

Hey I'm interested in this CF hood, let me know if you can get it at a good price.

That is a NICE car! Any plans for performance mods? Exterior is damn near perfect if you ask me.

I honestly think it performs fine stock. I have a drop in K&N, that's about it. I like to have the piece of mind that it's stock, street legal, carb/ smog legal and doesn't use more gas than it already does. Performance wise it's fine. The suspension however leaves something to be desired... I've upgraded the tires as you can see... in the rear I have Toyo Proxis 275/40/17 so they're wide as hell. I have Tein Super Streets and recently installed Daizen Lower Control Arm Bushings as well as Steering Rack Bushings.

My next mod will probably be Supra Brakes. I hope I beat Cone Sex to it. biggrin.gif
Well I know what my next car will be. haha Looks amazing Chanh.

Nope you're right. The painter said wait about a month though before I do any buffing, he said it should turn out mirror.
Yeah it will..wet sand + buffing does wonders!

SC300's are rated at 24mpg highway and 18 mpg city. Last time I calculated about 16 mpg, then again I have a lead foot. =)
