wow it looks incredible!!!!! You are making me jealous, I want to just give you my 5 speed trans so your car can be perfect.

By the way what color are your seat belts? The receivers look brown that's why I ask are the belts brown too on all 4 corners?

Are your rear seats tan or black?

And you said everything came this way?

By the way you can get your seats up higher with galvanized thick washers. Just go buy a bunch of them and then you can make the front sit higher than the back or back higher than front or raise it up all 4 evenly. It might take many tries to get it just how you like it, but then once you've got it you'll be comfortable.

My seat belts are black. Basically everything that from the woodgrain up came from the factory black. The pieces that I added were black rear seats, black front seats, and black carpet.

I think i might add those washers you mentioned to gain some inches.

yes good luck I've also heard of others doing it on custom seats and it worked great after they got it where they wanted it but takes patience, Id drive around without the seats bolted in each time and add or remove washers by lifting up 1 corner at a time

Also I think it would be nice if you painted your center console arm rest black and did some black on your door panels, maybe black switches and arm rests and speaker grills and carpet there. A few of the guys have painted just the bottom half and it looked awesome, it needs something there

i only have a shave both on the front and rear and am running a 265/30/19 on the rear. But i should have done a pull while my car was at the body shop. I'm rubbing a lot right now and if I want to go any lower (which i do), i'm definitely going to need to pull the rear fenders

We put the IS 250 to good use, after the last shoot it had exactly 8k. I'll bring the SC if we do another shoot since the bigger windows will be easier to lean out of.

I was going to just put the bushings in anyways like you did, but the day I checked my car was the day I put new shocks on the SC and my knuckles were already bleeding, so I decided to quit.

It should be a 97 since I think it was the only year that came oem 2 tone.
