This what a swap suppose to look like, it looks like it came with that engine from the factory looks amazing.
I love that intercooler piping, it looks fresh and clean keep the pics coming
I see that you tilted the intercooler, was this to void cutting and moving the coolant reservoir? Will that cause any flow issues through to the radiator? If not then that is probably exactly how I'll mount mine.

I just like mounting intercoolers at a slight angle. I don't know why, it's just a personal thing. I like the look. Goes with the flow of most bumper covers. The intercooler is just the right size that it will not need the coolant reservoir moved. I planned it all out ahead of time to keep everything like factory and build the setup around the car, not vice versa.
I built a fully stainless dual 3" exhaust system using Vibrant 1127 mufflers and merge collector:
Sounds stock at idle and no drone. Nice mellow tone.
I decided to paint the car right here in the shop. I used over a gallon of Shopline base to get full coverage on everything. Clear was PPG Deltron DC4000. This was followed up by 3M Trizact discs starting with 1200 grit to get any imperfections out, then to 3000 grit. The entire car was then compounded, polished and swirl mark removed. This was a very long tedious process.
These shots are after basing everything.
I ditched the OEM Supra Springs and shocks and went with Bilstein and Ground control with custom rates.
Here is how the car currently sits after clearing.
