Some updated pictures.

Refinished the wheels, lowered it more, front camber set to -2.4, rear camber set to -4.9. Had the steering knuckle shortened 2", Installed Battle Version toe & trac bars in the rear. Have TC sportline RUCA's waiting to go on. Will also be shaving the trunk emblems real soon. Just punctured a hole in my 1st cat so Im gonna replace both of them.

Beautiful GS. Great inspiration with this build. Wanted to asked around how much was it to redo your interior like that?

Katzkin leather replacements cost around 1 grand, depending whether you get 2 tone, specialty leathers (ostrich, alligator, etc), and such. Its temporary until I get around to making it all a dark red color.

me? I'll re-wrap the whole interior. I'll have a shop do the seats because of all the stitching and what not but I'll do all the panels, dash, headliner, etc. Gonna have to dye the carpet though.

In 2 years, my pay will be doubled at my job and this cars really gonna go under the knife. Im picking up a DD in the next couple weeks to work on this more. Eventually I would like it dark silver/grey (not quite dark like gunmetal, i really like the cement color on the new Scion TC's) with a maroon/dark red shade interior. GTE swap will come before any major body mods....eventually though, plan on keeping this car for a long while
