That body kit looks sweet. How much did you pay for it? Any contact information? Such a shame on those who backed out on Manaray's group buy.

Hey Guys,

Thanks much for the props, It's been an ongoing project for me.......I wanted it subtle and still have the Lexus lines, Manaray and his infinte wisdom pointed me in this direction. You do have to be aware of steep driveways!!Wheels are Ganador 3-pc 18x8 1/2 front, 18x9 1/2 rear forged centers, Tein CS coil-overs, GReddy MX exhaust, the GB crossdrilled/slotted rotors we had going. Still need to adapt the TRD Supra TT sways now that it's back from the bodyshop. anyone in the Los angeles area I can highly recommend Bay Cities body Shop in Harbor City.

If anyone else is interested in this kit we can try another GB after I speak with Ethan and Manaray, hopefully they will let me do something despite the last go round.

Lets get a show of hands who is serious about doing this, depending on how many people we get will determine the selling price. Now that we waited and the dollar is taking a beating against the yen the price I'm sure has changed.................

For the past few weeks I have been saving, I'm ready for a groupbuy within like a month if anyone else is. No flaking here. 98 Corners are sitting on my desk Give everyone a month or two's notice and I don't think there will be a problem.

Hey actually I have one question. Does the front bumper have front plate holes? Here in FL it's not required so I would rather not have them.

Hopefully we can get a deal going. My only request is to have atleast two weeks to get the money. Manaray's last deal was a bargain.

Steve, that kit is simply gorgeous! I didn't know you had an SC though(?). I like the wheels too, but aren't you tempted to throw on some 19-inch Indicators or Supremes???

SC400onDubs, I used to, I was a die-hard domestic muscle and Buick Turbo guy, planning on opening a high end import shop at some point. I've built up about 25 cars/trucks/bikes for myself as well, lots of ppl on this forum have seen the pics, and made a few bucks on the street for a few years. I like to give tech advice to my fellow CL members, and the locals are always welcome at my place if they need a hand with something, doing a detailing seminar of sorts soon, beginning of August, a couple CL members will probably be by. Why do you ask? Steve, keep us informed on a possible GB for the AC kit, now that you've confirmed the quality, fit and finish, it's a no-brainer...

Since everyone is RAVING about the kit, I guess I'm the village idiot.
Other than a couple minor details, I don't notice much difference between the kit and my car which is stock
