Default Sc300 widebody 1jz 5sp project

Ive been working on this one for about a year now just on the weekends or whenever i get time. I just wanted to post it up to see what cl thinks and to get some feedback. Thanks

Car looks good, needs a little exterior touch up.

Some constructive criticism would be, if your keeping the 2 tone look, i would also paint your mirrors the black, so it would flow better. Also since your widebody I would get some more aggressive rims, or add some spacers to the ones you have now, so it doesn't look so sunk. Repolish your headlights and adjust the rubber stoppers for your hood for it to be more flush.

Other than those, you have a nice SC and hope to see you post more updates of it.

looks good, I'd just go with some wider more aggressive wheels.

The headlights are cleaned now thats an old pic and i do have spacers you could see in the first pic. I know i should paint the mirrors. I was thinking about doing vinyl instead of paint. I dont think i bought it from another member. It was my friend Sam's car located in orlando. I got it as a silver on black shell. No motor, wheels/suspension, or widebody, the 5sp swap the previous owner did was garbage so i had to fix it.

AHH.. okays! Looking good. I had a widebody SC as well before =D. Vinyl wrapping is fun as well. The hood might need a similar treatment to make it flow. In for more Pictures! interior?

This car has a lot of potential to be something extravagant. It looks like you are heading in the right direction, and that is for sure! I agree with some different wheels with maybe a large lip in the rear. I love the look of that car, and I seriously think that car has a lot of potential. I wish I owned it, that is for sure. Take a shot at all of the body work and take a shot at painting it, see how it comes out!
