I would try and get rid of those SC430 wheels. It doesn't do your car any justice. What happened to the fog lights?

I've had the same coment on the SC wheels for some reason I like them I will chage the center cap's to the star model and post more pics to get some feed back, the right side of the bumper was the result of a rock flying at me on PCH last time it rain and like a good So Cal driver i could not avoid it, I'm having it fixxed with a MMR front bumper soon.

You should put those wheels back on the car to the left. Do you mean an RMM bumper?

Welcome, and enjoy! So far sounds like your first mods/repairs are evident.

for now The SC wheels are staying (broke after purcahsing the SC ) on the GS and Darknight is correct i meant Rmm bumper so far i have been concentrating my efforts and money on the engine and drive train next up is the suspension and then if Uncle sam is good to me on my Tax return I will address the wheels, but like i said before for some reason I like the look.:

So I noticed that in your signature it says GS300 TT. Do you have a turbo in your car?

Got your PM. Bad *** you have a TT swap in there. I'm about to finish up mine here in about a week. Did you go with the VVTi or the non-VVTi? Post up some pix. I'm sure everyone here will be more interested in a TT swap rather than SC wheels
