Wow thanks a lot guys. I feel so warm and fuzzy inside. I'm not a huge Chrome fan but i got an insane deal that was cheaper than going Burning Black or Silver.
I fully intend to go with a turbo kit, stand alone, etc....
gonna keep with the 2JZ-GE motor, not GTE for me. Only looking for 350whp. I'm sure i'll be doing some good amount of research to determine the best turbo route to go.

Very very nice! To answer your question, there are 120 '97 5-speeds. There aren't very many of us =0). Have fun with that beast - looks like you're already enjoyin it.

overall the car looks good, i agree with alceansc, paint the center of the bumper black. or cut it when you get the FMIC 
anyways, i really like it. i always liked the vertex lip more then the bumper replacement.
got more pix?

Car is still in Vegas so i can't snap pics. I'll be back there at the end of the month to get it. I was hoping I could hide the FMIC behind that air dam on the factory bumper. Wasn't sure if i wanted to cut that stuff out and lose rigidity. If i was gonna do that i might as well gotten the whole bumper.
So need some advice. I got these wheels for Beater wheels during winter but since i don't have the car in cali i was gonna sell em. What do you guys think about the look and how much i paid for em?

It was crazy cause 20" tires are way cheaper than 19's in the same model. That's why i got these 20's. For frkin 750, **** can't beat it. I think tires would be around $600 or so.
