Default Johnny's 99 "vip" SC300 build thread

long story short, after getting a lot of headaches after bagging my 01 gs430(blew uas bags within a week!), I decided to give the project up and start something new/fresh..

picked up a '99 SC300 golden pearl. SC300 was one of my childhood's "dream car." Never really did any research, i'm literally goin with the flow. whatever I did on the gs,+fixing my mistakes. Here's what I have done within the year of ownership. connorsudi i believe is his name was my inspiration here's my twist. I will be using this thread as my mod journal.

as of April 29th,
MODS:
airtekk suspension
airlift 3p management
BV front end links
kbd fujin lip
work meisters
19x9.5/10.5 +15/8


Enjoy some flicks by buddy(radproduxions)snapped of the SC!

Your car looks great. I saw pictures of your car from the craigslist ad for the meisters recently and was wondering who owned the car.

Default jumping to 9/5/19

did not like the lip to fender fitment, was lowkey scared of messing up the 1/4 panels.. i ended up selling the meisters and found this sick deal on SSR Koenigs.
specs are
18x9.5/10.25 +12/22
love and hate relationship with this car, maybe because its automatic? idk, either way that'll be the last thing.. next up maybe a kit, ls400bbk, and new wheels.

here some photos that the homie took! @ccfriday408 (ig)
