Here are my suggestions:
• color match spoiler
• darker tint on front windows
• return hideous wheels
• remove taillights
• destroy tailights so they may never plague this earth again

Other than that, car looks fantastic.

Not one poster answered your question...go to Lextreme.com and research there. You will find all your answers.

Btw, nice car. Paint match the rear spoiler...

Those lights gotta go...they just don't work, and they never will...

That is not what he asked...Plus, there are tons and tons of posts and threads on the subject of the 2j or the 1j vs adding FI to the 1UZ. That is why I made it a point to simply answer his question.

Yeah, love the body kit. If I do a body kit i'll keep the wing off. I like wingless body kit cars. I actually wish someone would do a better job creating round tail lights like those. I don't hate those lights but I don't love them. I just think, the car has round headlights, I think it should also have round tails too. I think whoever made those tail lights is on the right track just needs to be better.

Oh and if your talking about the rear spoiler,it actually come off of a vt holden commadore senator,perfect fit,so yeh i was actually lucky as i saw it at a wreckers for only $80 bucks,and once i put it on it actually suited the body kit,i hope that is what you wanted to know and@ sc400TT the cars booked in next week for the respray of the spoiler to be colour matched lol

Wow...longest sentence ever! I think the fish bracket is still for sale on lextreme. It allows you to use a vortech centrifugal unit so you can go give those 2j's hell.
