Car looks great, but ditch the fogs they look so out of place in the big opening. Time for boost.

That body kit looks incredible. Perhaps even better than a real VTEX

Back on track... Toyofreak that Orgin kit looks great on your SC and sweet taste in your selection of vehicles.

I got some new rims. RPMs 20x8.5 +33 and 20X10 +33 suffice? Wrapped in Nitto 555s, 245/30 front and 275/30 rear.

However, since I rub a bit will switch the rears to a Falken FK452s 255/30s when the time comes.





Did I mention I got my interior reupholstered? I guess I am now ready for TORC. Don't expect to win anything though.

Just to answer some of the questions. This is a SC400, so the 1UZ VVTi is plenty, besides, having 2 supras 1Js, a Supercharged 4Runner and Celica, I want to keep at least one car NA. And I don't want to put in an interfooler.

I thought 4 Stage would be primer, base, pearl and then clear. I could be wrong. But I know if has more than one coat of clear on it. Regardless, 3 or 4 stage, it came out awesome.

Some work got done to the Soarer. Wheels got refinished in BBS gold. Complete suspension and steering bushings installed from TM Engineering. B&M oil and trans cooler with steel braided lines and AN fittings. Filled in the front of the Origin Labs kit with a grille. Sorry for the poor quality pics.
