Default Feb 2015...Mini Photoshop....Update

Needed to take the car out of the garage today as it was running low on fuel.....decided to take it out for a little spin and try out the new sparco bucket seats...

Got some full shots for you guys since its out of garage for a few minutes

Still need to get an alignment and adjust coils with the new wheel and tire setup..













And of course the Holy Grail.....

clean as hell, you got a little scratch or something on the front bumper though right by the lip. do you plan on painting it another color or keep it the same color? those lug nuts are awesome, i got the same ones, gonna throw em on once it warms up, it's too frigid to do anything right now.

Thanks....I rarely ever have more than 2 people in my car.......I will most likely be removing the rear seats all together and making a custom panel....or have them redone in similar fabric as the sparco bucket seats with the embroidery in headrests

Paint is the least of my concern.....I have a touch up pen I bought from lexus that I will use to touch it up..The scratch was from the previous owner...

I wont be painting the car any other color....

I would rather spend the money on performance upgrades then have a show quality paint job any day...

Felt great to get her out and get into some boost today....the cold weather wasnt really a good idea with summer tires....they were rock hard and broke loose very easily...

Your car looks great! I love the engine bay too.

I had no idea your car had 2JZ-GTE swap though.
