Default Hello Everybody

Hey I'm Andy.I'm new here. I picked up a 1996 SC400 a few months back. Great shape mechanically. Was hit though on the driver side. Not to bad. Wanted to share some pics of my new project car. I am sorry about the poor picture quality. They are from my phone.

I'm using a wise replica front lip. Side skirts and rear valance is extreme dimension's j-magic. (jic magic reps).

I want to paint it a solid red. Somthing a little brighter. but im still not sure yet.

Trying to get her ready before the summer. Need somthing fresh to drive. Tired of my SUV.

looks like you got the sided and rear to fit well--congrats on that


there was a thread a while ago that was saying the extreme dimensions kit was a horrible fit----looks like it wasnt an issue for you though
