Changed the oil for the first time in my SC300. 2 quick comments:

The last guy to change the filter was a moron. So, as you can imagine, it took a while to remove it.
Also, why in the hell do they make it so hard to get at these filters? Do the engineers simply hate the service guys?

Anyone, synthetic oil and new filter, so the engine is happy.

Next warm day, we hit the trans for a drain and fill.

Installed a new alternator and battery to get it back up and running... i agree that the engineers hate anyone who works on the simple things in these cars. lmao.

Default New kit..... sort of.

Just finished painting and fitting some AIT Vertex replica side skirts, and a JIC Magic replica rear lip.

Rattle canned them with dupli-color trim paint, also painted my trunk spoiler to match for a two tone that matches my black emblems.

Gonna try photoshop and see what this might look like with my rims painted black.

yea I would say the sides and rear need to be color matched for sure. And get the front lip that matches the kit.

Actually looks good...only this color can pull it off...need to change that front bumper though and do a front lip match in the black. Once you do that and drop it on some nice wheels everyone would see a big difference

^^^^^^^^hahahahaha thx for the support
I know the front looks weird, What do you guys think about putting one of those cheap rubber stick-on lips underneath the OEM lip to make it lower?

Link to a car with the type of lip I am talking about underneath the stock lip.

I kinda like the two tone actually, Wheels are going to have to wait till next year.

Thanks for the helpful criticism.......
