Default i have beat laziness

finally decided to post some pic's of my ride after a nice little wash and replacing the headlight, fender, and headlight of my 99 SC300. now problem is whether i should paint my fender or do a 5 speed conversion. some opinions would be nice.

paint the fender = couple hundred

5-speed swap = $1-1.5k +

If you have that kind of money paint the fender and bumper and ditch those HIDDEOUS rims, hell even stock rims are better than those monstrosities!!

damn it seems like everyone is hating on the wheels lol. too bad they came with the car. new wheels would be nice, but a bit outta reach right now. now oem's would be a different story.
