Default Humble beginnings.....a before and current comparison.

I bought this SC400 in 2008 with the intentions of just daily driving it and working on my other two projects a MA70 Supra and AE86 Corolla but after the Supra was stolen and the Corolla broke more times than I cared to fix I decided to turn to this car and make it fun and stylish. I started with exhaust then did cold air intake tint stereo but before long wanted more. I then did the highly sought after yet rarely completed manual conversion on the 1UZFE. The JDM Soarer wheels that came with the car looked great until I finally bought coil overs and dailed in the height I wanted so a good buddy of mine was selling some Work VSXXs for a price I couldn't ignore so I bought those but them being 20s took the car back up to a height I didn't like. So after some heavy fender work I finally got the car back down to a height I wanted. Then I deployed again and starting ordering parts, a full Vertex Kit, used Vertex Canards, Carbon Innovations CF splitters, Megan CF roof spoiler, ViS CF hood and trunk, 97 tails and fogs and then dropped it off for paint and some small touches inside.

Fitment was dead on, I had to remove my factory shocks in the hood because it caused a horrible bow in the hood, but the trunk had no problems.
