re-birth of cool!!

Hey guys,, been quite a long time since I posted pics of my car over here.  I truly had every intention of getting rid of the ol girl this year and upgrading to something a little newer.  Bottom line, I just couldn't do it.  I decided to give the ol girl a sweet 16 present and work on bring ing her back to glory.  I know my car is not "true" vip-styled, but it works for me (for now).  It is also my daily driver, and the roads where I live are not in the best of condition, so as low as I would like to go, conditions don't really allow for it.  There is still  a long way to go, and will have some long and hard decisions to make to get her in the direction that I want it, so research is gonna be a long, hard road.  The wheels will be changed sometime next year, but this is my progress up to now.

Car is freshly monotoned, sitting on H&R springs, complete with JDM clear front turn signals and 1 piece headlights, turn signal mirror covers (soon to be Celsior motorized), aftermarket grill (wanted something a little different), and some aftermarket rims (not name brand (was just something to get by with [for the moment].  I also have a Wald front lip(not pictured) that I bought from LP_Yang (thanks).  Some of you may have seen my car over on Club Lexus, but I thought I would also show here as well.  

I want to change out the mufflers to something a little bigger, yet can't seem to find just the right look.  I have only seen 1 member here (wish I could remember his name) who had mufflers on his first gen that I absolutely drooled over.  Anyways, I know the car has a long way to go, but help me out with some things that you think will keep the project moving.  Comments/criticism is also welcomed; just please try not to be too harsh about it.

Nice, not bad looking at all, clean.=)
 
I would suggest going air or hydro's that way you can drive low and park lower, also it will give you the comfort of nowing if you need to rase it at a whim you can. Then go for the rims, then the exhaust, Fitment and stance first or vise versa.:biggthumpup:
 
Take Care.

Air is def one of the things I considered doing.  Gotta replinish the pockets and get the budget again for it.  Will need to re-do my trunk area to make room for the setup and find a way to keep my capacitor and MTX 12's.  LOL!!  Thanks for the compliment.

nice ride......good start
