Default FINALLY.. pics of my finished baby





Hope you guys enjoy the pics of my near completed sc300. I will be doing a few other things to it before i enter it in the show. Since i snapped these pics i lowered the front another half an inch and put kyb agx's in the fronts. Sorry i didnt get these pics out sooner but i sold my digi cam so i had to bum one off my girlfriend. The color is jaguar black pearl, with a base coat of super jet black. My black housing headlights and high beams were a success and they still show no sign of condensation. I wanna give props out to my boy Gazi Ali aka (ALIGA) for hooking me up with a bunch of my parts. Thanks man i couldnt have done it with out you. ...Well actually i could have but i would've spent a ****load more.lol

Cool

Very, very clean and I'm sure it smells clean with the Treefrog airfreshener mod. Nice work!

LOVE that color! Great pick!

The Soarer logo COULD be considered to be on the wrong side...on the JDM cars, it's on the right side (our passenger side)...which is the "driver" side of the car...dunno, just thought I'd point that out!

You only need some new wheels...the style is cool (simple 5-spoke...can't go wrong there) but the wheels are defintely not offsetted correctly for the car and the tires look a bit too small...what setup are you running?

His dash doesn't appear white, it's just a Sun Deflector thing.

Nice ride!

Nice job! looks like my soarer now. I too have got lexus/griffin badges all over, apparently the import agent could'nt make his mind up which badge would sell the car easier!

Looks very clean! I really like the shot of the rear were you can see the clouds in the reflection.

Stunning! I love black SC's. I'm going to do mine with only the "L" in the middle and nothing else. Similar to the pic below. Absolutely beautiful car. i do agree about the wheel offset though.

Very nice set up. Like Ryan asked, what suspension are you running? I'm almost positive that they are coil overs. If so which kind?

The rims offset is a little off, were those rims off of a Accord or Prelude?

Were the high beams easy to open? compared to the headlights?

If Steve's rims have the same offset, you will have a nice aggressive look as well.

I think we are hi-jacking jdmsoarer's thread

Ryan,

Thanks for the shoutout. One thing I hate is the front plates, it looks so much cleaner without one. But hey we have to deal with the front plates in NY as well.

Good job on the car.
