Oh and im dropping in a 2jzgte in june... its sitting on the work vs-xx rims obviously with HKS HIPERMAX suspension. what do you think i should do next? im thinking maybe painting it silver with a purple flake.. some new tail lights? carbon hood? what you think lets get some imput
Oh Andrew that is sooo nice! looks like you've got good taste: work wheels, fireball twins, front lip and side skirts! they all look awesome, is that a nardi wheel by the way? I also spotted the illest sticker, fatlace!

great looking car. i would recommend going manual with the 2jzgte even the r154 makes the car sooooo much better. other than that i think a 97 rear bumper would look great to level out with the skirts.

Thanks everybody....
well start from the top
Yes its a nardi wheel i love it so much..
The fireballs came on the car but they were purchased from a shop called garage 5 in british columbia canada.
yes some of the panels are a little more plain silver hence why i think im gonna go a silver with a dark purple flake. the panels are a bit different but i got the car for 3000 with the wheels and suspension.. then i did the lip the exhaust and other stuff.
i forgot to mention im going r154 with the 2jzgte got a whole swap 2800 with new clutch flywheel everything.... i can't wait. also i don't care for the fogs on the 97 front bumper. i prefer the 94. also what is the difference in the 97 rear bumper?
And lastly thank you to james and everybody else

Welcome, Nice Soarer Andrew!
At this point the many of the people who originally imported these tired of them or moved on and there are some real deals I'm seeing in the western provinces. Considering what it came with $3000 is a steal.
I'm a big fan of the 94-95 front with the lip as well - I think although it looks less modern it does look more aggressive than the 97 and up front. You should look for the center grille to finish it off.
The '97 rear bumper is slightly lower, and comes with side extension pieces so that the rear is on the same height as your side skirts. Some of the guys on Club Lexus have the 5Zigen Fireball exhaust with the '97 rear bumper and they go together quite nicely.
And lastly... I like the OEM silver, keep it for now!

Here's the best picture I could find. Look closely and you'll see a 4-bar plastic piece for the lower center grille. You should be able to pick one up for next to nothing at a scrap auto yard.
