Default D2AUTOSPORT back to grass roots: SC300 Content

Hey guys, as some of you may know D2AUTOSPORT.com got it's start with the lexus community back in 2004. Derrick and I at the time both owned lexus vehicles so it was logical that if we were going to start an aftermarket product based business then we should start with our own.

Once known as DGOT20's Derrick's user name on CL was changed to D2AUTOSPORT and I kept my user name stefwilli. We quickly began to become the go to guys of Clublexus for wheels, aero kits, suspension, exhaust, etc... With much success on Clublexus we began to branch out to the euro communities. The same result happen with the euro guys, they embraced us with open arms, using our services time and time again.

As the years went pass we began to branch out to the american muscle communities and the exotic car communities as well. With all the growth and spreading it was difficult to keep up with the newest and latest developments within every car community. We began to loose some of our connection with our core customer bases, mainly the place we got our start, Clublexus.com

In efforts to get back to our beloved lexus community we have just picked up a 92 lexus SC300 as a shop project car. We will be featuring this build from A-Z with detailed write ups on the products we will be using, Hi Res images, and monthly product features. We will even include some DIY projects for those that want to learn the how to of their vehicles. Please feel free to take part in our project with suggestions, comments, and questions. Please keep in mind that D2AUTOSPORT.com is mainly an aesthetic based retailer, therefore there will be no performance aspects of this build.

Below are pictures of our project to come:

Thanks guys, and yes it will be a luxury build being that we don't do anything engine related at D2. As for the wheels this car will not be getting a D2FORGED wheel simply because the wheels alone would almost take up the entire budget, lol. We are building a very realistic daily driver car that almost every one can afford to build on their own.

This build has a $6,000 budget total which includes:
Wheels
Tires
Suspension
Body Kit
Exhaust
Lighting Upgrades
Tint
Major Clean up
Small Interior needs

Stef, I was suprised and happy when I got the call about D2 picking up a SC. That's a very rare blue, can't wait to see how it will turn out. About that stuff we spoke about, you're first in line just let me know what's up.


*cough* boost it......

Come on guys with this boost stuff, lol. This car will be clean, low, and slow, boost is not in the budget neither is it necessary for what we need out of this car.

That's the idea, do this one and on to the next one.

Come on now! 1-Hovas are quite cheap these days! If sticking with auto, could do it for $1k!

Either way, I'm in. Good luck with the build and please please please, get rid of that pin stripe!

Hey Stef,

I was very pleased to hear you were getting back into the Lexus game. Through the years we have kept in touch and enjoyed conversations as true auto enthusiasts. You've made a great choice for a reliable project car and wish you good luck. Please feel free to give me a shout if you need any help. I've always thought of CL as more of a community than just another faceless forum.
