Default new guy! gotta '93 sc300

Hi, I'm Ben. I live in Va. Bought a stock green '93 sc300 afew months ago to keep as a daily driver...now I'm blowin' money on the damn thing.haha Before the sc I was really into trucks. I've got a candy gold mazda b3000 (better looking ford ranger) dropped on 20/22's(notta donk!) and a '53 chevy pickup that's in pieces. I went to wyotech and built a complete air-bagged frame for it and did a bunch of sheetmetal mods. So there's no way I could just leave the lexus stock. I never thought I'd get so interested in a car. At the moment it's at a buddy's shop getting ready for paint. We're shaving most of the emblems and the antenna. Bought a Wise front lip for it. Black ebay halo headlights. No wing. The color is going to be MINI Cooper Hot Chocolate that comes on the Clubman's. Gonna get wheels of some kind and eventually lower it. Should turn out pretty nice. I'll post some pics when I take them. Here's a pic of it the day I bought it. And one of the mazda since the lex is so ugly at the moment. Anybody know where I can find clear lenses for the side marker lights on the bumper? I've tried ebay havent had any luck.

I think those rims would fit the lexus. if I dropped it a foot after I put them on.lol they're made for a new mustang. I found them on ebay and got very lucky for them to fit so well.

I have no clue. I know about truck rims/names but I'm so new to the car aftermarket, its sad. I know there's alot of sweet "high dollar" ones out there but I'd rather have a cheap knockoff of something that looks decent. I like simple 5 spokes. Really want something staggered with a nice lip. I'm not sure what finish/color would complement the hot chocolate paint. I already have a gangsta, flashy-*** truck so I'm tryin to keep this car simple and clean.
