Great looking car but I dont get it, this car looks similar to mine, well the wheels are different and I dont have the gte swap but the general look is pretty similar and I sure as heck didnt get 11 pages of comments. Lololololol. Perhaps everything changes when an intercooler peaks out through the lower air dam. Who know's...nice car though...great minds think alike!

I'm sorry you feel this way about the 11pages thing. Maybe the 11pages of people do see a difference ; I tell ya what, post a picture on my thread because I don't know what your car looks like

You'll get 11 pages when you finally bolt on that supercharger you been hiding in your closet for the last 2 years lol.

OP nice to see you're keeping the car. Any plans to go big single?

I feel you dude. I remember when I had the SC300. It was one of the best looking SC's on the forum. But it didn't get props from many because I wouldn't turbo it. At first it bothered me a little. Just a little. But I refused to turbo the car cause I saw the guys have problem after problem. Their cars spend half the year being repaired.....every rear. Seems illogical to me. I still spent big money on the car but it went into making it the cleannest SC on the street.....and trouble free.

So don't sweat it. Do your thing. Be a leader, not a follower.


PS: There is only so much you can say about a car with a stock motor. After all the comments about how good it looks, what's left?

Wow Reggie I sure as hell didn't see this coming. Yes the car is a stock motor, reasons being you can ask any of the guys, I've always said i'd rather have the look over the speed. Since day one I've never been about shooting for big power, this car is my daily, its not parked away in garage sitting just for the weekend. I wanted something RELIABLE, so I wouldn't have problems. The chroming an polishing was to give it a nicer look but yet still STOCK. What I've done with this car isn't anything new so I don't see what's with all the negativity. All I can say is I do what I do to my car for me, I'm no follower to anyone.

Here it is...I love a black/black lex. Maybe it will be different when my engine bay is chromed out with my SC and I got a nice intercooler down there. I am sure your car is fun as hell to drive!

Defiantly the cleanest stock twins install on the forum. I love it.

Going single will be a whole new level of fun and power with that motor, but damn this bay looks so good and is the best example of a complete stock gte swap I would kinda want to keep it this way. But if you are getting the taste for harder hitting power then a single is inevitable..

This pic deserves to be bumped again:

Lol thanks Mike ....My intentions were to never go Single, but we all know the twins don't last long; I'm sure its a totally different level with the single setup

Justin the car looks amazing. And knowing you personally I can say your a class act . So with that said , you keep doing you. People will always have their own stupid opinions. And you know what they say about opinions . What are you gonna do ????
