Cars are a labor of love... Love the car and the labor you put in it... It's time and money we will not get back, but the love of the car is what drives us...
Great project and alot of knowledge gained along the way!!!

If you can find one install a factory airbox in place of that snorkel setup and get a TRD filter for it-- then just do the BFI setup-- you'll be glad you did-- Snorkels suck on these cars-- and most others--

Good idea.
Too many people around here are kit w h o r e s, not realizing itmakes the car look worse than it was!
There is tasteful modding, and there is ghetto fabulous. Sadly my second go around on Club Lexus, the latter is very common amongst the SC crowd.
I feel like I am rolling with a bunch of poor ES Lexus people, who are driving nothing but glorified Camrys.

to thread starter, that's some nice work you've done by yourself. i'm not feeling the color too much but you totally saved that car. definately black out everything that got oversprayed. if i got a knockoff kit, i'd paint my car black imo. a light color shows the flaws. a bit late for that though.

I think u should ditch the headlights, with some chrome or clear ones and get some 97 Taillights
But i think its a great project for you, since your still in Hs and have money to drop it in the car.

Damn, nice job. I'm in the process of restoring my SC also. First, I want to make sure all is good mechanically then I'm gonna start on the cosmetics. Saving the money is a pain though... Good job and good luck with your car.
