Default After 6 years, finally got some pics

I have been on this forum for almost 6 years now and I have never posted any pictures of my car. So I figured that it is about time. This is my second SC300, and has 262,000+ miles. I have had this one for 4 years this December. It has been a slow going project, so not to much done, just really trying to make it a nice car to drive, with A/C, P/S, C/C, and a working trunk.
Here is some of the things done to it:
Engine:
Soarer 1JZGTE every gasket has been replaced along with the waterpump/timing belt
Greddy FMIC for Soarer
Hotpipe made by Enjuku Racing
Blitz Super Sound VD bov
Driftmotion Intake
Polished turbo pipes
Griffin Radiator
Greddy Radiator cap
Mishimoto tranny cooler
TMS Hard upper radiator hose
LuxuryMods cooling plate
JIC single exit exhaust
H.K.S. Midpipe

Wheels & Tires:
Volk Racing GT-7
(f)18x8+30 Falken ZIEX ZE-512 245/40
(r)18x9+30 Falken ZIEX ZE-512 285/35

Suspension & Brakes:
Tein Super Streets coilovers
Supra TT brakes w/ TRD pads, rears not installed yet
Goodridge SS brakelines all around
Daizen control arm bushings
Daizen PS bushings
Cusco STB

Exterior:
Repaint original Royal Jade Pearl
97+ Taillights
45% tint on windshield, 15% on the rest of the windows

Interior:
Blitz FATT DC turbo timer
Autometer boost
Greddy Speed cut
Black/tan
Supra seats

Here are some pics and looking open to comments and criticism.

Good job!

Only critiques are:
Go lower
Get a factory TT power steering reservoir
Relocate the radiator overflow behind the bumper out of sight.

Looks good, nice clean swap, but I agree with going lower.

It was lower before I got the Volks, but they rubbed a bunch, so I raised it. I'm going to get the fenders rolled so it can sit lower. Just need some time away from school to get some stuff done.

laxdude362: In the future I'm going to put my rear TT brakes. I also would like to get a Wise or 400 lip painted with 97 skirts and rear. Also USDM TT cams, 550 injectors, AFC Neo, and raise the boost. Polish the intake manifold, valve covers and maybe the water neck. Maybe eliminate ABS. For the interior I want to fix climate control, get a double din tv, get new boost and egt gauges into the glove box, and just clean up the rest interior overall. Im not very happy with a lot of it.

LexusFTW: I do plan on getting a TT p/s res. And are you saying to put the coolant overflow under the cooloing plate, because I dont know if there is enough room between the plate and the intercooler. It use to be between the battery and the cold pipe.
