Glad to know you have found someone that is capable of doing the job right.

That is a good choice on wheels for your sc430.

I have soo many ideas to make that kit work for your car and color. It sucks your body shops arent capable of doing it though.

I often get a new car every year but with the SC, I will prob keep it for many years to come but instead give her a makeover annually, either wrap or something else.

I am very keen to hear your thoughts and ideas, humour me and lets assume I have found the worlds best bodyshop

Sounds great Will, hope to see you and your car at the Ace.

Very nice Wheels mate...

Look forward to seeing your car up close

Nice wheels, what are they and the tire size? Those tires look like they have enough side wall width to be driven on streets with pot holes etc.

Nice KIt. I like the sidewalls.

I am having the Artisan body kit installed now and waiting for the arrival of wheels to add also. The wheels are Lexani LSS-5 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 10 with 285/30/20 and 245/35/20 . Does this seem appropriate and what should I want for moderate a offset? Can the tires have any more height in the side wall? I don't want to be bottoming out when hitting pot holes.

Thousand spend later, my accountant is having a fit so . Im done, enough of the modding for now. Have so many pics its riddiculous, if u would like me to post any, ask asay and I will post

Yes

If you've already ordered the wheels, it's too late to change your offsets. But if you haven't ordered them yet and you're looking for fairly aggressive offsets, I'd suggest something like +25 front and +30 rear. Or +30 front +35 rear if you want something a little more conservative. Either way, you may have some rubbing with those tire sizes. I'd consider running 235/35/20 275/30/20. I wouldn't suggest anything with more sidewall.

Also, you'll probably want to lower your car if you haven't already. Preferably on coilovers. I have the Tein CS2 which are great. There are less expensive options like Megan. Just depends on your budget.

And with an open face wheel, you'll probably want to do something about your brakes. On the cheap end, you could paint the calipers and replace the rotors with drilled or slotted rotors. For more money, you could replace the calipers with Supra TT or Lexus LS calipers. Or for even more money, you could get a big brake kit. But you would need to order your wheels to fit the last two options as the calipers are much larger than stock.

Also, for future reference, it's better to start your own thread with questions like this rather than ask in someone else's thread. Or for this question specifically, you could have posted in the wheel fitment thread.

Yes

Looks much better than the first round of pics you posted. If you can sneak it past your accountant, it'll look even better with a drop. Preferably on coilovers, but you could do lowering springs if you don't want to spend the money.

You might also consider redding out your taillights. It's red tint that goes over the taillights to hide the amber. Only costs $20 or so on ebay and it's a much cleaner look.

side skirts look like they are not as low as the front end, i think you had mentioned going back to oem...might not look the different in person though. I like the wheels...all you need are 06 tails and a drop!

I'm considering selling my Tein spring stock shock combo. Keep your eyes on the classified section.

what happen to these photoshopped side skirts you have planned on doing?

Hi Liquid

Hope you don't mind me chirping in, but we have to have orange indicators in the UK, front and rear.
As much as we would love to red them out and your looks great, we would not pass our annual MOT test with them and we would also be pulled by the cops.

Best regards
