Ima post a side view pic of my car so that someone can photoshop these colors on it for me. Make the black meet the blue at the body line all the way over.

Man can you please take off those fake air vents on the sides of that car. It totally kills the look of the vehicle. Those should be on Buicks only cause there funtional. You should have smaked the last owner that decided to get a Macco paint job.
Other then that I see a lot of potential in the SC. You might want to buy a cam cover that is missing on top. Not good if something falls in there. 
Take it easy....

Update: got the wheels today and they are great. The guy he bought it from had sprayed it with chrome paint and its pealing off so ima have to sand it all down and repaint them also they have some curb rash so eh for the price its cool till i get beter ones for the summer time. They are ADR M- Sport 19 x 8.5 all the way around with a 35mm offset wrapped in Bf goodrich scorcher tires 235-35-19 with about 60% left on them and the best part is i only pain $100 thats right $100 dollars for all four lol
Next on the list is getting my exhaust fixed for inspection and lowering
after that then maybe a body kit if i can find one i like and then paint.
Heres a pic of the wheel i got

Ok i finally got the wheels on and did a few other things. I didnt get the downpipe from crazy rays because they said its a federal offense to sell it with the catalytic converter on it, so they made me waste 2 hours fightin with a car to get it out. The wheels arent perfect but that will be remedied when i paint the car cuz ima sand them down and paint them. I also got rid of them side buick lookin things and debadged the trunk im waitin for the putty to dry so i can sand it down maybe tonight or tomorrow.Anyways heres some pics.

Dude come on you said you were going to take those nasty vents off! Take you like 5 minutes to take all of those things off. Cut the springs or get some lowering springs if you can. If you can get coil overs go for it! Just drop that monster truck down.lol

I guess I'll be the one to say it. Please take off those stupid fender vents please. It's by far one of the dumbest fads since LED washer nozzles. They're an aesthetic peice of plastic that is is stuck on to the fender. I don't understand why people see that everyone and there mother has them stuck on everything. Remember that you drive a Lexus, not a Honda. Other than that you have motives to move in the right direction with the car. I'm interested to see where you go with it.

Like i said before i already took them off lol they came off the first day i got the car....
My plans are to either do a na-t or a 1.5jz swap. im looking for a 1jz head. If when i tear the engine down and it is damaged more then ill go with the 1jz head.
