like mentioned before...you need a more aggressive offset...some bigger wheels might look better because the skirts make your fender well look huge

Thanks for clarifying that. I was surprise the shop used 057 but that was the code on the door jamb. He asked me a few times if I was sure I didn't want to switch to 051 but I wanted the jambs and engine bay to match.

Between this paint job and my Twin Turbo Supra project, I can't afford new wheels. I will have to settle for the small Racing Sparcos for now.

Reason why I cannot afford some 19"s

Ironically the full fledge 2JZGE A70 race car with the full cage isn't the one milking me dry.

Too many projects, and not enough money....

good work and definitly clean, id get ride of the fogs or i would just go with a different type, and then the wheels... spacers? or something more agressive would really top it off the charts, other then that. hella FRESH!

Just some new pics of the Soarer and Toyota logos in the rear deck lid, Origin Labs carbon fiber rear spoiler, and my brand new JDM bubble markers. Every coupe I own now has JDM bubbles!

Enjoy.

rigin Labs CF wing is from Japan. That is how they sit.

RaceOnUSA does not have the CF one, at least not that I know of.

I am in Socal. Right by Autobacs. Rain deflectors are NOT Toyota OEM and came from Ebay. They work really well.

great paint job! 4 stage must of cost a small fortune. i got a quote on a 3 stage and it wasn't pretty. question though: how well did the shop mask off the rear side windows? do u see a noticeable paint line near the trim there? reason i ask is my car was previously painted and you can see where they had the tape...which annoys me.

The shop masked off the parts they didn't want to paint very well. At this point I don't see ANY paintline near the trim there.

Any bodyshop worth their salt would do a good job of masking. And if they don't get it right the first time, they would clean it up in the final stages.
