^^ the most popular weds wheels out there . The inners are wide enough, but the lip not so much.. They're currently 6" inners and 2.5" lips.. looking to bump that up and get price quotes on some outer lips, powdercoating and chroming. i cant decide which route I wanna go with these

Nice! Not a big fan of polished finishes? I had my meister polished and they came out real nice. Either way im sure theyll come out really nice.

Lucky you! Your rebuild project has wheels that come apart easily. Damm VS-KFs are welded together.....

On a side note, rewired my sound system with 12 guage, and sanded down my front bumper for painting. Prob gonna put a home depot racing lip on it....lol

Swapped in OMT (old man tan) Supra seats because I'm 6'3" and I was tired of picking slouching in my seat.


I REALLY love the side bolsters on the Supra seat. It feels almost like a new car.

I actually didnt consider polishing till I saw the prices of powdercoating and chroming. The places I called so far are charging $75+ per face for powdercoating and $130+ per face for chroming.

So I'm a little **** when it comes to stock "parts" on my SC, and ever since I got my SC I've been trying to complete them... I've been searching for the OEM leather organizer where I can put my manual, insurance papers, registration, etc in... Instead of them scattered all over my glove compartment, then I saw someone selling what I'm looking for on craigslist! For $10! Hit up the guy, met him the next day, then voila! He used to have a 1JZ swapped SC400 same year and color like mine(that he crashed at the track 7 years ago) where he got the stuff from! I know a lot of people don't really care about this stuff, but I do, so on with the pics!

Tada!


1994 Accessory Collection(I have a '95, and if you're not familiar, Lexus release next year models during the current year)


It just amazes me how clean the SC's brand new compared to all SC's that you see in the road today.


Just look at those headlights and fog lights! Not yellow and no condensation! LOL


Those window rubber gaskets are so fresh! Not plastic hard and color white...


No cracks, no scratches, no nothing at these '95 tails...


No dings or scratches here! Mine does...




Though I have a brand new owner's manual that Lexus sent me for free, this is still cool!!!


Where to put my insurance card in, etc...


That's all, sorry for wasting your time... LOL
