Default Heres the old beast 97 sc400

I bought this car a couple months ago and have been dumping money into it ever since, I ran into a guy with a black 300 thats rediculously nice and he told me about the site. a little about myself, I'm a lexus tech in north atlanta, I love cars obviously. I like automotive photography and im a master with photoshop. about the car,

97
bought with 193k miles

Mods done so far
CF interior trim
kenwood radio
infiniti 12" sub I had laying around
cheap crappy alpine speakers
untinted the windows (the guy had 2.5% on there!)
refinished the headlights
6k hids
powdercoated valvecovers(wrinkle red)
made an intake because I broke the plastic one while replacing hoses
daizen upper and lower control arm bushings (what a pita)
Supratt stainless brake lines

the wheels came on the car and they guy cut the springs to lower it, I'm looking for used coilovers or suspension but preferrably coilovers. and if anyone can point me in the direction of a supercharger build thread on an obd2 400 that would be awesome! anyway heres a few pics

Thats the best color on the SC IMO. You also have a great camera, thats some of the best photography I have seen. Clean SC... We demand more pictures on CL! You coming to the meet in Birmingham next weekend? Its just south of there in Bessemer.

Nice clean car, i dont know if you notice that your CF wrapping not all of them are going the same direction like, where your ashtray lid. Maybe your going for it.

i'm very curious about the cut springs to lower it....i know this isn't reccomended but is the ride quality okay? will the suspension be hurt by that? what happens if you screw up the cut?

There's two things I want from that car:

1. The wheels
2. The carbon fiber interior.

Where can I find those carbon fiber pieces? Or at least something like carbon fiber even if its fake I guess.

What rims are those?
