I agree, those are some sick wheels! It's rare to see SCs with Advans

so after 4 long damn months i got the car back from the body shop.. looks awesome. posted some pics on it on another thread, but ill do it again

sorry for the repost for those who have already seen this, but i wanted to show other updates too


Overall the paint job is way better than i expected.. who ever said you get what you pay for???? they fixed that rear 1/4 panel which was a hell of alot of work, they took off the black pass door and cut in the inside green. installed new rear lip and fabricated brakets to make it REAL strong, re-painted the door B pillars black along with the front lip. the drivers front fender was rolled soo ****ty, stuck out about 1 inch, they cut it out and fabbed new metal into it. the rear quater is almost all metal, not just full of bondo, ill have you get some pics from the inside the truck where you can see the work, fixed all the dents over the whole car then repainted it.. the paint it about an 8 out of 10 which i am more than happy with ( and im very picky) the best part is the guy who did it is only 19 years old

oh yea.. everything for $1200 no one else would even tough the quater for that amount.. let alone do the whole car

Also got those supra seats- and new upper door panels in - along with some new random interior parts - shampood the carpets and detailed the interior

seats are awesome.. hold me much better and are in way better shape than the stock seats. I am very happy with them. dont know why they look so off in these pics but the color actually is real close. No one would ever notice they dont belong in the car - drop in about 45-50lbs is a plus too











Shes comming along nicely

next step is to get it past VA inspection - then install HID kit - cut about an inch off the exhaust tips
