Default Black on White

Hey guys, this is my first post. Found these forums a couple weeks ago and thought I'd share what I just had done to my SC400. I have put on Tein coilovers and did the LS400 BBK conversion along with a new set of wheels.

The wheels are the staggered TSW Mallory in matte black, 18x8 front and 18x9.5 rear, tires 245/40 front and 275/35 rear. I did have to shave the rear fenders once the coilovers were on. The rotors are Cquence, slotted and dimpled.

In about 2 months I am doing body work and full paint. As far as the body goes I have yet to decide on either the OEM 97+ front/rear/sides or a kit. Paint will remain Diamond White Pearl. However, all the decals will be painted black and once the new exhaust goes on, the muffler tips black as well. I have white lexus decals for the calipers on order and should be on the car soon. The tint is 23% black titanium, 32% on the windshield.

What a great start being the first post. I wouldnt even pain the car from the pictures, it looks great already. Spend the $$$ elsewhere, like a motor swap or something, unless it has alot of dents, and deep scratches.. JMO..

Welcome to the club!!
