only if that front grill was lower, it would look much nicer...

plans to get a grill/fogs to complete the front?

anyone have a picture of what it will look like on a white car? do you guys think it will look ok?
Hit up the photoshop forum and have them photoshop it for you.

The only thing I don't really like? I'd get some bigger/nicer wheels but otherwise she's a beauty !
I love my Supra TT wheels! But yeah... they're just place holders till I can afford some really nice deep dishes.

Grill and fogs will be next. Yes. I wanted to finish the paint first.

Actually kit fitment sucked... I probably spent over 40 hours making it fit, literally. Good thing I knew what I was doing... having someone do it probably would've cost a fortune.


Thanks for all the comments.

The car looks good man. I'm glad you finally got the body kit painted.

You should get a new license plate while you're at it. That's the first thing
I did when I got my SC. The old style California plate really shows the
age of your car. It's about $30 and $7 for registration tags.

Got them ordered as soon as the paint was finished. They said 8-12 weeks for completion...

Anyways, I just got the basic California plates, it's gonna say: "Chanh55" fits perfect.

I have to buy new stickers too?

If you ordered the plates, I don't know if they throw in the registration sticker.

For me, I went straight to the DMV with my old plates and swapped them
out for new ones (random order). They charged me for the new stickers.

That looks awsome. But on a white car like mine, I actually think the yellow accents the coloring a bit. If I ever plan on tinting my tails, your my number one star. ^^ haha Great job man, and your car is stunning!

I was looking at other message boards and they were hating on the spray. They say it looks pink and fades after time. They swore by the vinyl. What do you guys think is a better idea? I found this guide on how to use the vinyls: http://www.jdmuniverse.com/forums/vi...pg=allredtails
