That car looks like a monster but I think it would look a lil tougher with a spoiler. But I wouldn't be embarrased to drive that thing around the block. she's pretty

It looks perfect for an Aussie car. Things are a tad different in mod tastes over there, but despite overseas the reputation for bling you have done a great job putting it together.

Raptor centrifugal supercharger - currently 310hp at the wheels however that was running 8psi now running 12 psi. Getting it re-tuned later on this week.
I have moved the battery to the rear and intend to run the air intake over where the battery was. Engine Bay needs a good tidy up!
The Kit is Origin front and Vertex side and rear.
There are 2 tail pipes on each side it just can not be seen in the picture.
Wheels are Japanese Godfathers in a shadow chrome and they are already spaced at rear although may need a little more yet.

Looks good, definitely something different but everything works together. 
Couple of questions: are those mirrors the stock ones with covers or are they off a different car? also what kind of shifter is that and was there any problems with the fitment/od button? oh and that is the first time i've seen back up sensors on an sc/soarer, nice!

Thanks for all the comments both good and bad. It is good to get feedback and everyones different ideas and opinions. Like most of you this is a work in progress and I have changed many things along the way. I used to have 20"s on it but that was before the body kit and I thought it looked like a four wheel drive so I went back to the 18"s. I like these as they have a reasonable dish. I actually have 25mm spacers on the rear (1 1/2").
Unfortunately the interior shots do not do it justice as the seats are actually a royal (navy - dark) blue with a light grey insert and lexus logo at the tops.
As far as Vlamos bushes go just about every one in OZ is using them!!!
The mirrors have covers over them but not many can pick it.
Gear shift is momo autotechnica (made to fit by cutting down existing shifter arm and spring assembly) and I have put in a rocker switch (modified from a factory switch) that can be seen just in front of the shifter and this controls the overdrive.
