Call me Goldmember....

Well finally after 5 years, my car is finally how I envisioned it would be. My goal was to go with a full JDM inspired theme and I think I have achieved it.

First, I would like to thank my wife for putting up with me and allowing me to spend so much money into my car.... So much that I really don't want to know anymore...

Big thanks to Steve (SUPRATRD) and the gang, past and present, at Carson Toyota. They have always been there for all my hard to find parts, even some that no one else would get for me, from my JDM amber side markers to just recently my SSR wheels.

Thanks to Todd (DoubleWoosh) at TM Engineering, been there for all my needs, from installing springs to major tune ups. Todd is one of the few people I would trust working on my car.

Last but not least, all my fellow CL members for all the info and advice.

And now to the car. Specs of the wheels are below, and the rest are in my sig.

awesome!!!

 

looks nice tommy

 

we need rolling shots!!!

sweet wheelios man.

 

Very nice, Just MHO but I would paint the calipers a different color, they dont match and I would go with black or something more discreet

 

I like this combo of colors! The car looks JDM!

 

I love the white and gold combo

 

Looks great

 

looks sweet where did you get your front bumper and the fenders from? those aristo parts look clean i like the placement of the running lights i have to get those for my gs300/

 

Looks great! I love the MS1's

 

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

I was thinking about that at first, but then I like them like that. Kinda reminds me of the WRXs.

The front bumper and fenders are US parts I had modified. Front bumper was filled and I cut holes for the JDM side markers.

Tommy

 

wow, that looks GREAT!!!!

 

now i love gold tooo ... nice!

 

Looks good Tommy, what specs did you end up going with?

 

Had the same color scheme on my old GTI with Gold BBS LMs. It i ever get another car that is not old/classic or VIP, that will be the styling for sure. And also when I get my New bike this winter it will have the same color scheme as well.

LOVE the car man!
