Default Ramos' 97 SC300 Slow Build

Ramos' sc300 build
What's up CL, just a slow build thread for my 97 sc300 factory 5-speed.
About the car
1997 sc300 factory 5-speed
Black exterior with tan interior
I am the 4th owner, the car was at a Lexus dealership that updated the car and replaced some aged plastic in the engine bay
The car has 185k and has no issues (except O2 sensor of course)
I had a custom bent 2.75" lightweight exhaust (gawd n/a 2j's) installed right after I purchased it.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As of now the plans for the summer and winter are:
-carbon fiber front lip (recomendations?)
-Megan Racing coilovers
-Grip Royal Wooden steering wheel
-Big League Wooden shift ****
-rear windshield visor (recommendations?)
-Bride seats and rails (Vios or Gias?)(black or red on tan interior?)
-18" varrstoens (leaning toward ES6's)
-also little stuff (antennae, tint, bfi)
-rebuilt head (family of mechanics and master machinist)
-2mm head gasket
-1000cc injectors
-lightweight flywheel
-individual throttle bodies
-forged internals
-boostwerx NA-T kit (eventually, I love NA)
I want to shoot for 3100lbs w/ 245whp. 13.6 sec 1/4 mile NA

Going to try and keep this car with its origional w58 and 2jzge

I know that there is a psycho market for these and people are asking me if I would ship the car across the country for some ridiculous offer. I will entertain offers and trades through PMs because I know that this is someone's dream car and I just happen to stumble across the only one in Florida (I think). Thank you everyone please give feedback.
Here are some pics.

That is a nice pick up, a lot of guy want one of the 120 97 5 speed. Your plans are modest and easily attainable on a cheap budget. Clean, perfect chassis to build on. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

why go with 1000cc injectors? I don't see the point unless you are looking for insane power...
