Your getting the Big Win kit you say. But didn't you sell the factory kit? I could swear that the front of the Big Win is just a lip that attaches to the +97 front bumper.

Pics of the Soarer from 2 months ago. I'm just starting to get ****. Paint stains, dings and chips. I want them GONE. BASF paint (The German stuff) Toyota paint code 051. This is the prepping.






New pics taken a month ago. Origin Labs kit. Fitment is not bad, but not perfect. See my review on the fitment guide. This shop is more **** that I am.

Almost there. It get's the BASF paint this week. some minor details that need finishing, especially the front passenger corner of the body kit. Although the kit fits well, it doesn't fit perfectly. And a shop that consistently works on Euros and Luxury Cars is more **** that I am. Which is a great. Here are some updated pics taken yesterday. Shaved the emblems and the antennae.

This is what the car looks like with paint. BASF with 3 stages of clear. Probably one of the last few solvent based paint job the body shop will ever do since they have to start using water based next month.

They just finished wet sanding and completed buffing the front end. The car is really starting to look sexy. Enjoy the new update pics

Lookin real good! Can't wait to see the finished product! Welcome to CL! Oh I forgot to give you huge props for getting rid of the one design flaw of the SC, that butt ugly antenna! What are you going to replace it with?

Thanks for the compliments. Unfortunately I cannot divulge my price since it's a hook up price, but the timetable denotes that hookup. The normal price for this shop on a project as such would run in the $5 to 6K range.

At the moment he is jam packed. The moment my Soarer leaves my buddy's Supra is going in.

Looks Great. Love the shaved antenna. What did you replace it with and how do you like the reception? I plan on doing the same this summer.Thanks
