Default Murvilboy's SC300

Hey guys Im fairly new to the Lexus Scene. Just picked up a SC300 from a co-worker that got orders. Im located in panhandle of Florida in a town called Crestview its near Fort Walton Beach/Destin area. Anyways, the car is a 92 SC300 with a 1JZ-GTE swap 5 spd swap. Its got a 97 front bumper, FMIC, 2.5" exhaust piping and OBXR Muffler. She has been dropped about 1.5" by a previous owner by the means of cutting the springs (that will change). The car is in great shape for how old she is. Im running stock boost since it does have the stock CT12 turbos on it. I do have a GReddy Boost Controller installed though. She's got a HKS SSQV BOV too! She's def a head turner when it blows off. People dont expect that from a Lexus hehe! Here's some pics of it let me know what you guys think. The first three is what she looks like now. The bottom one is what she looked like the day I got her.

Awesome! It looks really nice! Get some side markers too. What is that badge that appears painted over along the side right before the door?
