Default Put new wheels and coilovers on the car

Hey clublexus family, I recently put coilovers and wheels on my car and could not be any happier! Almost sold the car for another toy, but I still want to keep this car for a really long time. Bought really good condition BC Racing Coilovers on some 19" rims staggered. So much left to do to this car and not enough money 😭

My car was recently violated and broken into by some vagrants in my neighborhood. I'm definitely in need of a car alarm system now that my car isn't so much stock. Prince George's County has finally found a negative for me. Here she is at the body shop. Insurance was taking a while so they got bored and decided to point out the imperfections.

One thing at a time, this build will be really slow, mainly because there's a lot of research to be done and my funds. Im interested in going NA-T and getting around 300whp sommetime next year hopefully. Aesthetics are important to me, but that paint job could cost as much as a turbo kit..

Finally got the car back after 2 weeks today. Im getting a radio and a car alarm system ASAP. The body shop hooked me up and raised the coilovers​​​​ and even rolled the fenders! Thanks to LG Auto Body in Silver Spring, Maryland for the great work and being super helpful during this process.

I need to fix small things on the car as well. There's a bad spot on my rear bumper I'm thinking of drift stitching as a short term solution with maybe a bandaid decal as well. Sort of tacky, but it'll be temporary. I'm trying to take this car more seriously, as I've been slacking on it. I'm really interested in going VIP. Junction Produce gear is expensive but I'm okay with going ebay clone stuff to save money, it's just for show anyway. Beige Curtains, beige pillows, and a Hanya charm is what I'm thinking.
