Default New owner of a 99 Angora SC. Slowly modding.....need advice

Some will hate it.........but i LOVE this color.

Sup Guys,

I just picked up a 99 Angora Beige Metallic SC300. Im sure most of you aren't a fan of these colors but I think its nice and a rare find. Anyhow, the car is in good condition. Right after I bought it I gave it to a buddy-mechanic to do the timing belt. I changed the oil and transmission fluid already. The car is running super excellent.

I am a proud owner of a 2000 LS400, 2001 GS430, 2000 ES300. I bought this sc3 as a "lightly" modding car.

Just ordered Megan EZ coilovers
Pioneer double Din
I just found a nice set of Linea Corse Dyna Wheels
F: 19x8.5 +28 (235/35/19)
R: 19x10 +43 (275/30/19)

Stay tuned. Gonna get everything together and show you guys my progress.

Here are some better pictures as I promised. Just got a major tune-up. Gonna get the coilovers installed very soon, right after i get the fenders rolled.

Wow. Talk about small world. I've been eye balling that SC on craigslist LA for a few months now. I think I've even seen those Varianza's on craigslist too. If I'm not mistaken that SC was being sold for $13K because of its low miles. Good job nonetheless.

That is the best looking color with beige in the description I've ever seen. It may be your camera, but wow...

Very very clean, BTW. And since you already have 3 Lex's, we know it's going to a great home.
