It's been awhile since I've last updated you guys on my build. I literally just dropped my car off at the body shop to have the paint touched up, front bumper & wing matched with a little goodies added. I'll also be getting it fully detailed &I'm still working on the interior for a 80% finish which I will be putting back in once the car comes out the shop (Hopefully I have seats or at least a driver seat because driving on the floor sucks lol) Stay tuned...

Very true, but if it is done right it, it looks nice. Usually seats, and carpet are not ideal to try and respry as they are common to where out, i used sem on my dash "everything else is oem black" and you cant see nor feel between the two. I will see how long it will last in the texas heat lol

OFFFFFF COURSE.......it's not I have the wheels for sell not the car. I'd never sell my car man That ad was made by someone trying to be funny that wanted to actually buy the car and their offer got denied. They did it so that I could get phone calls I guess as a prank to annoy me but little do they know smh

I know right smh very immature. They pulled pics from a variety of my parts for sale posts lol. Headlights & wheel post...I wish I could take it down but can't, but I should get my car out of the shop tomorrow or Thursday (depending if I'm tired or or busy I'll pick it up tomorrow) so be on the lookout for that. It still needs work, but it's truly coming along great.

No my cousin's friend wanted to buy it from me and I turned his offer down. He hacked my Club Lexus account while it was open and posted on here & craigslist trying to be funny when I left. Just ignore the for sale ads & posts please (If a moderator can delete that ad as well that would be great).Too much money invested to let go of my baby so this project is still pushing forward The wheels are for sale though along with JDM cluster.

I almost bought a black on black SC as a parts car a few days ago, I feel so bad for the interior as it was OEM black but wasn't taken care of at all... It felt so rough and a lot of parts were missing already... I guess I'm still waiting for a black interior to come my way...

Yeh tan interior is nice but it get dirty fast. I'm doing black interior with my own signature twist.
