Well it's been a few months now since I've sold the Celica in my profile for my SC300. Funny... when I bought this car, I told myself that I'd keep it stock and wouldn't do anything to it... What can I say? I couldn't resist...
 I just installed a body kit over the weekend and bought the rare "Polished" Twin Turbo Supra Rims. I must say 9.5' wide tires in the rear really makes a huge difference with traction and handling. I just received Tein Super Streets today. I've always fantasized about buying these when I had my Celica, but I think they cost something like $1,300... which is pretty expensive. I bought them for my SC for only $850 before tax and shipping! Here are some pics, and yes I know... it needs to be dropped and painted. Enjoy.   Going to install these bad boys next weekend with the help of Lewfx.   This is how she looked when I first got her.  Body Kit and Rims installed.  Side shot.  Rear shot.

The Super Street Coilovers have 16 levels dampening, for those that didn't know. Cool thing is you can adjust it the dampening level with 2 fingures.. anyways,
I set it on the softest setting and it feels just like stock. I purposely hit pot holes and stuff and it was smooth a little too smooth for my taste. So tomorrow I will probably make it a stiffer. |

dont worry about the minor things with the SC- the car itself, in my opnion, is a true classic, and I still don't think toyota has come up with a more provocative and truely emotional design since
you have a taste for the finer things in life for sure

Thanks Saleeka for the comments. Bloodrain, I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about or not but the front bumper doesn't fit very well and will need a few adjustments, I will probably get to it this weekend.

Thanks boost for delivering it. Fitment and quality on this kit is pretty good, so it was a piece of cake to install.
Hey I'm interested in this CF hood, let me know if you can get it at a good price.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-93-94-95...bayphotohosting |

Molded the side and rear skirts, redded the tails and just got a paint job. Let me know what you guys think. All comments welcomed, good or bad.
