i like the two tone lip alll around, i think the car would look way better without the red in the interior...or at least a darker read. i love the high beams/ head light setup. good work all around.

I was honestly thinking the same thing about the red inside, it was done at a time when I did not know where to get color matched paint and it's actually 3h4 instead of 3l4. so it'll come off soon (when I put in new door speakers again) and be done 3l4 proper. thanks though for opinions!!

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of the red on the inside either. Get it matched and it'll look a lot better.

How'd you do the "L" in the rear speaker? I really like that.

Lastly, is the skirt custom flashing all the way around, or just the front lip?

halos +10
slowly its getting better! just polish the body more, just an idea, would you consider color matching the lower pieces all oem red i think it would look lower and more complete.

keep up the good work and best of luck.

Lol where the hell do you live? It's like every picture you take looks like a ghost town or something... real spooky looking.

But on subject, the SC is coming along really nicely. Keep it up.

About the halo's guys I ordered a universal kit off ebay like 5 years ago and put them in there, there was no instructions so used 3m two sided emblem tape, cut out a few small sections and stuck it to the back, then trimmed it with a blade, cut a small incision under the halo to run the wires. I will find a link this week and post the site I found that sells them for a good price, they have been in for 5 years and had to replace two inverters but ballasts are legit.
Special k, the L was printed on a sheet of paper, the taped to a piece of foam board, similar to cardboard, then I sprayed really strong adhesive on everything and recovered with a nice material that looked stock ish, pressed it all together and winning.
Akito, I thought about doing the rest color matched, but if I actually get coils I can lower it and it will look great I think, more complete as you say but I am open to the idea.
i had new mexico plates on there for a year after I moved back to MD, was in between pics and what not ya know? these are not in order lol
NO BOOSTED!! I made the panel for a mock up with some old left over gauges. made it out of plexiglass and heated it up to form it and covered it with textured carbon wrap. nothing special, garbage old vatozone special gauges form my old celica project when i was 17. I am not planning on keeping it there by any means, gonna do the dash trim gauge mod thing eventually.
