The Alpha and Omega! My Beginning to (eventual) End Build Thread!
Alright, so since I've joined the forums, I have never posted pictures of my car. This is the day where all that changes!
First, I purchased my 1999 SC300 (Black on black) in the summer of 06. A month or so after I had purchased the car, the mod bug bit me, so coilovers, rain visors, HID's and tint went on. Tein CS to be exact, courtesy of RAINE
Next, I couldn't handle the stock wheels! So some HRE 545's went on. Also, took off the spoiler cause I didn't like the look and took off the front emblem for a cleaner look.
Wheels were rubbing, so I had to get the fenders rolled.
After awhile, HRE's got a little boring, so threw on some VOLK GTC's along with a slight pull on both rear fenders.
Fitment was nice, but I wanted something a little more agressive with more poke. The flushness was nice though!

I went back to the HRE 545's cause the GTC's ended up being sold. I didn't do much with the car until December, where I bought a Tanabe Medallion exhaust system after watching xknowonex youtube video.
Shortly after, SSR MS1's go onto the 97+ body, but that changed all to quickly..
After a 6 hour fitment/install. The Shine AC style kit is now on and this is where I stand right now!

Front - 235/40 Rear - 255/35
Volk GTC's - 19x8.5 +27 19x9.5 +23

In those pics +30 spacers were on the rears for the HRE's and Volks were normal

WOW... The cats out of the hat! The Shine Auto Project fits well as expected!
Our exhaust looks like *** with the kit though
Perfect tire fitment!
1. What are your wheel/tire specs on the current set up?
2. You do have a camber kit right?
3. Hows your fender roll? My fender roll is the issue that is delaying my car at the moment.
