If you think like that, a lot of parts cost as much as the car. hahaha

Imagine if supra LCA didn't fit, then you'd be spending 980 + tax for each LCA from lexus.
easy for you to say, your girl is rolling on HRE's & was w/ bags

i guess the word discipline comes to mind or life and its many distractions!

OP: if you really want it you can get it. it seems you just want a clean car on a budget.

if that makes you happy, then thats all that matters just be safe and know your limits on reps.

color wise? pick what makes you happy not what others think will be clean

It takes a lot of discipline. I started shopping for parts for the SC since I was 15. I didn't save enough money to buy the car until I was 19. hahaha

The parts that you mentioned are both parts that I dreamed of owning and had to save up for years to own. I remember seeing Hoebag's air setup when he first got it, and I wanted to do the same for my car one day. About 5 or 6 years later I made him an offer that he was nice enough to accept.

I fell in love with the HRE 540's on Supra Dr's car, but at the time $6k seemed like a number that I would never be able to save up, then the wheels eventually got discontinued, so the dream was dead. I moved on to wanting BBS LM and meisters. About a year or two ago I found a set of 540's for a NSX, so I bought them and had them relipped to fit the SC.
