The kit was originally designed for a G35. Made to fit my car...No one will have this exact kit on an SC, but me

Thanks a lot everyone! It's a slow moving project, but it should be worth the wait

I'll try to get pics of the rest of the kit.

I got a full wide body kit...front & rear bumper, side skirts, front fenders, and rear quarters...we'll see how she looks a little thicker.

I think I finally named my car...Beyonce! Cause she ain't fat...she's real thick! haaha

It's time for an update...

I was trading this car for a 1968 impala, due to the major cost in time and labor, I kept the SC

Since I thought I was trading the Lex, I stopped all progress on the project. Now, it's time to pick up where I left off!

I picked up some SC400 front calipers and cross drilled rotors. These will be installed this week.

The engine sounds like the police knocking and the tranny slips like jail soap, so I found a freakin sweet deal on a 1jzgte with a w58 5-speed and the drive shaft piece I need. The swap is currently installed in a friends 240 project that never took off, so he sold it to me!







Now it's time to buy the rest of the stuffs to swap it in! I'm super stoked on this...I haven't had a turbo car since my rhd 240
