Default My relentless pursuit of perfection...almost done...

As some of you guys might have noticed over the last couple of months, my car has gone through a little makeover.

From the last time you guys have probably seen it, it looked like this...


Just a 97+ body with 18" Blitz-03's...pretty boring...

Since then, the makeover consisted of the following:
1) Wald bodykit (front lip, sides, full rear bumper)
2) custom Premiere Mobile Clear Bra job (thanks Sam!)
3) Tein CS coilovers
4) Full Daizen bushing replacements all around with camber kit (thanks Todd!)
5) Daizen sway bars (thanks to Siniquezu) happy now?
6) Full black interior (thanks to Gazi)
7) 19" SSR Vienna Dish wheels to finish off the "clean" cruiser look I was going for

And of course, the mods never stop and the following will be installed shortly...
1) Hybrid air suspension system by ummagawd
2) Blackwood interior enhancements
3) Complete Lextech Lighting cluster/climate control/entry lights

So this whole time, I thought to myself, buy a new car or fix this beauty up to be like a brand new car. I'm pretty happy with the results. With my custom carputer molded into the dash, which allows use of GPS as well as do anything a regular computer can do and E46 HID retrofit, I feel the car has all the nice qualities a 2002+ model has.

Well, the car is still in the works and I was pleased to see how nicely it was turning out so I had to post up and share the news

Best mod so far has to be the clear bra from Sam and his crew at Premiere Mobile. Here are a few pictures to see the great job they did. Full custom wrap over my ENTIRE front end. Headlights, foglights, Wald lip, hood, back of mirrors, under the door handles (girl finger nail scratches!), EVERYWHERE!! For over months now, its saved my butt countless times from rockchips Anyone who considers a clear bra, should hit up Sam @ Premiere Mobile to see what he can do for you.

Here are a few pictures:




I am still working on some details of the interior so as soon as I'm done with that, I'll post up again...

Thanks to all the OG's on the forum that keep me around...gosh, look at my join date...I feel soo old

looking good... that's what a luxo cruiser should be... keep it up, you kno and i kno, we are far from done... something in the long run is gonna give and we're gonna pull out our wallets again.

and second the clearbra job by sam, he did mines and it's great, saved my bumper a few times as well

I think the car has a little more potential with a different wheel choice, but it's not gonna look BAD under any circumstance

For the interior, blackwood steering wheel and matching wood pieces will hopefully set the interior off right...along with a new carputer setup...

Damn Tony, it was, what seemed like a long time but you've been tossing mods in and out of the door and finally decided to settle for what you like most.

I hope you don't think you have the hottest SC in Socal just yet.

for getting it perfect straight from the beginning and improving on that. Too bad you don't have the TT anymore.

Edit : nice keyboard in the backseat.

97+ body isn't boring not with a 1JZ anyway

Nice Tony! Love your car, and the new wheels really set it off (but I'm a dish boy lol).
