Looks great!

What did they do with the wheels? Just mask off the tires and spray paint them?

I do like the color choice though, looks very nice especially with those tires!

Thanks all. The finish is called pro line liquid wrap. Basically a more professional version of plastidip. But doesn't feel as rubbery and is more robust of a finish. I told em I just kinda wanted an oem silver type look. Didn't turn out exactly like I wanted, but close enough I'm good with it.

Project is looking good!

Thanks for the info!... Are the rear fenders rolled and pulled? It looks good whatever you did.

Rolled yes, pulled no. I could probably have ran no spacers also, but they look good with the 5mm I think. If they start to rub, I'll try no spacers.

Got my 3D Printed gauge / Switch mount installed fully finally. Also got some updates done to the BTI gauge. There's a couple things I want to tweak to the mount and get it re-printed, but it's spring time and screw it it's not too high on my priority list because I want to enjoy the car!




On another note, I've been wanting to do some upgrades / updates to my suspension. The whole curb ordeal just helped me decide to do it sooner rather than later. I spent way too much money last month, but once again screw it, lol. So I just felt the desire to take a picture of what my massive credit card bill for last month looks like, as much as I could all in one picture haha. Not pictured were are the repaired/refinished wheels & new tires. That's a lot of money for stuff that won't add an ounce of horsepower, lol.

-New BC Coilovers
-New Figs rear lower control arms
-New OEM Supra front lower control arms
-New OEM style/replacement Moog front upper control arms
-FID 1600cc High-Z Injectors
-Amsoil fluid for transmission & diff
