I saw this at Toyota Fest last year and Wek Fest this year. It's clean, but don't show the motor. I'd be interested to see the kit also. Nice pic btw.

That looks awesome! The paint goes really well with that car and the brake calipers too!

I wonder what kit that is.... possibly a prototype from HKS or someone? That's definitely not an LMS kit. Piping is way too proper.

A couple more pics will come. This was an impromptu photoshoot. We've been talking to get together and take pictures of their cars but due to busy schedules it hasn't happened yet. But then I ran into them at the friday night meet, every friday in socal. We pulled it off to the side and I setup and took some photos.

As always I'll be pleasantly surprised to hear otherwise but it's pretty rare an aftermarket boosted show car is actually mechanically sound.

It is mechanically sound! It doesn't get driven that much because its still goes to show and gets trailered around. But it indeeds functions and drives. Thats how it got to the meet friday night.

No HKS and no LMS.
