I'm loving it, aside from the headlights, but that's not enough to detract from it's glory.

will disclose more details as i know more

but

facts are...

black on black.
1996 vvti 1JZgtE
Tein comfort coilovers
apexera turbo timers
work wheels
one of a kind body kit (dont know brand - never seen before)
58,000 miles (for you americans)
Lpackage
sunroof
electric seats
full service history
logbooks
all info regarding the car is with the car etc (rare for japanese imports into aust)

now normally i hate threads like this that just brag about the car

and i know what some of you do with the whole... "black/tan" two tone dash

and that looks good, i applaud what you guys do to dye your interior bits black etc and install other steering wheels on

but please try to understand this is a bit more ... how you say... "grown up" interior... being that there's no aftermarket parts or steering wheels or guage clusters etc...

stereo was kept by owner which is OK with me - wtf would i want a japanese stereo anyway haha


teaser pic attached.


full leather / alacantra / matching floormats of the lexus sc430 burgundy retrim done by one of japans top retrimmers.

i'll upload more pics when i get more this evening

until then

after searching for about a year for a soarer... i've finally found the one i want.
Just a tip...Lay off a little of the My ***** is bigger than you ***** attitude mentality you have going on. This is a car forum where we all love cars. Whether you are from the US or AUS...seems like every post you make you have something in there about Americans etc. Nice car but the superiority factor is getting old real quick.

I cant seem to make my eyes stop going straight to those wheels. They are horrid. The car itself is sweet, what are your plans for wheels though?

I don't understand how re-wrapping the seats/steering wheel and using some carpet for floor mats isn't aftermarket. I don't think theres anything grown up about it at all. Old Man Tan is for Grown ups
It does come together well though and looks professionally done, Im sure you will enjoy it.

Nice pick up! Both looking great and I love that red and black combo. The front on the black one looks like T's Project with custom fogs.
