Looks good. I think it would look better with wider wheels/tires in the back. Also, how does it sound with no mufflers.

Front bumper was rattle can'd a few months ago haha. It was in bad shape, im not worried about it tho, i got a body kit to put on. As far as the mufflers, its the stock exhaust on the 1JZ, so cant run mufflers. Im waiting on my 3in dp so i can do a 3in turbo back with some nice muffler like hks. The *** end is also currently jacked up to fit the rims. I have to roll the fenders still and ill put a little smaller profile tire on rear so i can put it back on the ground this weekend!

Yeah i was thinkin about contacting SSR if they could sell me some inner rim sections. Right now they are 9in wide in the rear, i might see if i can get some back halfs to make the rims 10in wide. All in due time, no rush.

Its quieter on the 1JZ with just the factory resonators compared to a 2jzge with the same setup!

The car looks nice and clean.

The only thing that I'm not feelin' is the crooked sticker on the rear bumper. I personally don't care for any bumperstickers period. If one must place adhesive signs on ones car, it should be on one of the windows.

Party on.

LOL the story behind the Drift Alliance sticker is.. well its covering a hole. I had to push vaughn glittens rental off a curb after a night of him drifting his rental car after spending a few hours at Hooters. The rear bumper is pretty squished in places lol

Your friend spells trouble.

Maybe you should take out the 4x4 when you hang out with him.

Actually single exhaust, carbon fiber hood, fmic are all a few weeks away. Cusco roll cage and sparco or brides will go in too sometime this summer. Also version:select body kit and a big ole GT40 under the hood. A-pillar gauge setup is temorary til i get time to make some ABS molds for my custom setup, they will come down. This car has been in my head how to set it up since 2002 when i was stuck in the deep winter of maine, not my fault great minds think alike

its a good thing chino is a short asian guy, and your a tall white guy, or else everyone would think you were one another... at least the hood will differentiate your cars..... oh, and the distance between them when at full throttle.

by the way, those tails look pretty good in the day light.

Well until i go single turbo! haha. Thanks for the tail comment, i think it makes the car. De-lining the headlights are a mod maybe ill do this weekend so they will match the rear.
