Personally, I'd only do black exterior with gray or black interior... otherwise it's pretty mis-matched, IMHO.

Red with tan looks quite good though


What color is your car right now? The thing is, do to a repaint right, you've gotta do the door jambs & engine bay... ya know?

black wheels with polished lip are played out. I think my favorite wheels color right now is the Autocouture brushed finish!

Roo I could see you're SC lookin like that. I was actually thinking of the same thing with (minus the graphics ) for me. I have the issue of Modified MAg with the TS S15 D1 car, and that combo just looks so nice. I really do think that is the nicest shade of gold I have ever seen. By the way you wanna send me a few pint's of it. i know you an get you're hands on it

this photoshoot, right?





I actually just redid our entire gallery section on our website:
http://www.topsecretjpn.com/gallery.shtml

Of course I can get the paint but it's not free, even for me

I think the Supra calipers will be good enought for my goals...a 300-400hp car and I want to reduce the weight to under 3000lbs...

My goals are realistic, no?

Yeah baby! 1JZ VVTi owns Your goals of 300hp~400hp shouldn't be a problem, dunno about the 3000lbs though (waht does that weight in kg?).

I've got a black Soarer and I'm thinking about getting wheels with a silver face and a polished lip. Either that or something with a brushed face and polished lip.
