    To be honest, nothing. I think I'm pretty content with it the way it sits. I'd like to say I have plans to boost it but I don't think I'll ever get around to it.

    One of my favorite wheels of all time on one of the sexiest "modern" shapes to come out of Japan. Well done!

    Just another stanced Lexus

    Hey guys, been a long time lurker on these forums and finally wanted to post the transformation of my 2000 SC300. Unfortunately there won't be much suspense in this build thread as.. well.. it's already been completed. Anyways here is the story of my car from the day I picked it up right outside of Cleveland Ohio to where it sits now right outside of the Twin Cities in Minnesota.

    Here she is on the night I picked her up and drove home overnight after an ice storm with bald tires.



    The next day after the first detail.



    Black interior goodness.



    Installed some 5k HID's and purchased some freshly powder coated IS350 wheels and mounted some Michelin Pilot Alpins for the winter.



    Interior fully detailed and all wood grain was wrapped in 3M's brushed vinyl.



    Ordered my LS400 calipers as well as new rotors and pads for the front.



    The snow melted and I finished my BBK install and purchased some new tires for the summer months. (Bumper is off for paint and some subtle custom work.)



    Finished my custom headlights. Blacked out housing and clear lenses.



    Got my bumper back from paint. Freshly resprayed with sidemarkers deleted and license and emblem holes filled. Also got my new highbeams in the mail and installed.



    Next comes the drop. Lowered on Megan Racing coilovers.. Also installed my HIC roof wing and did a muffler delete with 3.5" double wall exhaust tips. No more ricer fart cannons




    At a local show!



    Then I decided to go lower. #hellasunk



    Miscellaneous pic before this past winter.



    And then over winter I ordered my dream wheels. Weds Kranze Borphes and tore them down and rebuilt them myself using new hardware and lips. Original barrels were powder coated metallic black and faces were powder coated silver.



    Test fit!!



    And finally, no more hellasunk stance after hours of rolling and a slight pull of the fenders!









    I'd love to lower the front 1/2" to compliment the rear stance better but it is just not possible on this car being this low on 18's static.



    Somewhere between start and finish I also picked up some MK4 Supra TT rear calipers and refinshed them and installed with new rotors and pads as wells. This thing stops like a racecar now.. too bad its painfully slow.



    Some random pics.









    And the latest change is adding some VIP puddle ligts.



Working...
