An inch more wont mess up your front. Unless you have some really messed up roads over there. Car looks great for sure

got it a couple months ago. it came with some cheap 18" wheels. i put my old wheels on them. i thought 19's would be too big but it looks ok. ill probably get a new set of 18's down the road. added feed sides, lowered it more, some real bride stradia seats, some gauges, hks boost controller. going to yank the motor out soon.

It has a good stance. With 19's you gotta have no fender gap.

19s on the rear wont be a problem, but if you could get 18s for the front it will look awesome and your front lip wont look so high. I had 19s before with no fender gap but the front lip would bugg me bein that high

yeah theres no fender gap at all. i brought it as low as i could without rubbing the crap out of the tires when i turn. it rubs a little when i turn left... weird.

but i agree. no gap but the physical body of the car is still high in my opinion. the sides and front bother me. i had a lexus SC before with a kit and it would be about 2 inches from the ground so this is a change. good thing is i dont scrape the sides and front.

heres a shot of the front

Looks like there may be an inline 6 under the hood or am I wrong.

lol you are correct!!!

the hood is always a dead give away. it has a 1jz vvti in it. but i think itll get yanked out soon for a 2j. there arent that many aftermarket parts for a 1jz vvti.

@gemma, beautiful FD man. I never thought I'd like a red FD, but you're is on point!

@Airwolf RX7, No, those are evo-r lights, and pieces of crap from what all the reviews say. Jose A., will be coming out with his own HID light kit that will look very similar to the r-magic lights. I'm sure he'll post a GB or something once finished.

They are Evo-r lights and in no way updated rmagic. IMO they look good but from what people have said on the forum about them:
Horrible fitment, lighting, and customer service.

to keep the thread on topic: an old crappy pic
