Looks good- just a pair of wheel spacers away from perfection!

What did you do to black out the front grille and what type/size are the wheels?

billy,

at first, i thought the phoenix spoiler was a bit long, but w/ your mods and the overall look of the car, it has grown on me. It doesn't seem too long or akward now. it adds an extra flair to the back end of the car and flows very nicely.

nice work.

Pearlpower: Thanks for the You are quite an inspiration, your help has been vital in my cars progress. Thanks for all your support!!

LexArazzo, Lexwang07, SoCalSC4, Seize, rominl: Thanks for all the kind words, you guys are awsome.
Comming from the owners of some very nice cars... it really feels good to hear your opinions. Be safe!!

robie, imbuggin: (The Grill); Wally (at High-Tech Collision in Orlando) is able to perform magic.
He used a High-Gloss Black (not lexus onyx) on the grill. He prepped it to ruff it up and added some flex agent to the paint.
He painted the grill and the center top portion of the front bumper cover above the chrome strip.
He also used some flex agent on the bumpers to allow for expansion and contraction.
(Wheels); 20" Chrome Fondmetal-7200 off-set is 34, from Discount Tires.

teeman3: Thanks for your feedback, I also feel the spoiler is more fitting when paired with a kit.
IMHO the fact that it is different from everyone else is what really sold me on it.
I wanted a wing style spoiler, not many to choose from.

LEXINIT: Very nice to see you again, it has been a while since Morrosso. Congrats on the 1st place Supra!!
If your SC430 ends up anything like your Supra I will be in trouble. LOL Thanks for the props.

A Big Thank You goes out to: Dave (2jznat), Chino (got_trd), Darrell (wringo), Tittan Motorsports, Lexus of Orlando,
Lexus of Clearwater, Sanford Paint and Body, High-Tech Auto, Carson Toyota, Tire Rack, and E-Bay.

The kit is molded on really well. I;ve seen and done alot of body work and billys is done really well. The grill also is very subtle and nice.
