Well, you're puttin' it out there, so I'll put it in here:
Gotta say, not a big fan of the monochrome look, unless it's black/black or a show car of some kind....Might be the lighting, but do the burgundy's match up between the wheels and body? What did you use to paint the wheels? Did you primer them first with anything?

You didnt think "this" crowd was gonna like this did you? Of course the paint still needs work but other than that great work can wait to see it finished.

Its nice to see a SC with some unique work put into it aside from just another SC with $1000 exhaust, $800 big brakes, $1500 coil overs, $2500 rims, $2500 turbo, FOGGY HEADLIGHTS, and a STOCK STEREO SYSTEM .

Keep the mods up.

You're absolutely right. I would rather spend all that money on nice mods instead of trying to spend tons of money on bondo and try to make my lexus look like the next batmobile.
