Default If You Had An Unlimited Budget What Would You Do To Your Sc

This means, if you had an unlimited budget to upgrade, mod, build, fix, or whatever to your SC3/4 not unlimited funds to by any car you want.
Lets keep this on the topic of SC's please

Pretty much every time I work on my SC I can't help but day dream about all the things I wouldd do to the old girl if I had unlimited funds. But I'm curious to know what you would.

Here's my list so far.....

Body:
Carbon fiber hood, doors and trunk
Vertex ridge widebody kit
Bondo all the seems
Repaint with oem 3k3
My headlights (black retrofitted RX350 hid projectors with ebay clear lenses and black ebay high beams)
Customized 97+ tail lights with leds and insides painted black

Interior:
Two tone black and tan with my stereo system (already done)

Suspension:
KSport coilovers, all new front and rear control arms/links with poly bushings front and rear strut bars

Engine:
Twin turbocharged 1uzfe with a built a760e transmission w/ paddle shifters and trd lsd

There's a lot more I'd want to do but there's a good start.

this or just replace all interior with brand new oem black pieces; new paint; imperial genesis :http://zilvia.net/f/wheels-tires/448...5x114-3-a.html ,
and typical air setup with suspension components....also anything putting out more than 300 whp on a grippy 5 speed setup.... sigh....

my list is actually so attainable... i wish i could pull the trigger.

Ok, I'm game...well first I'd buy another SC since I sold mine last month. lol, but seriously. I wouldn't go too overboard. The usual stuff: 2JZGTE/Getrag swap (complete build of course), up-graded suspension parts, BBK, some wicked Works wheels, and a Blitz Nur dual exhaust. Complete re-paint (color change, done by me) interior clean up, Lextech (cluster and climate ctrl)...this is just to start.

Frankenstein a 1JZ-FSE/GTE hybrid.

That would eat up at least 99% of the unlimited budget...

I would just get the few small dings and dents out of it right now.. just for starters. i enjoy the 1jz and R154, but i hate the clutch for street driving. now thats what i would change out to a much less agressive clutch. paint, wheels, and stance all is good for now.

Unlimited funds?

I'd scrap the SC and buy a UGR built Lambo and a picture of an SC300 to hang from the rear view mirror...
