welcome, why not mod the GS and leave the SC as a fun car if you want to get into the VIP scene?

Welcome! I would like to see a turbo GS/SC with a great stance... you should merge engine performance with VIP style exterior

the SC is difficult to get a good tuck on the wheels due to the design of the fender liners/well since they're integrated. im keeping it light at the moment. i have some vossen 20x11/20x9 F/R they'll be dropped on some NF210 springs for now. injen intake, blitz tt exhaust, and ill be going with the JP kit once i get around to starting on the body. these are currently the beater wheels, when i get around to it, im gonna get a set with a much more aggressive offset when i can figure out an airbag setup and how to get some space under the fender wells.

im not working on the GS anymore because i live in virginia now, and that car is just my daily whenever im back in california. plus, too many GS's done up in the scene, wanna be different, wanna do something a little more uncommon. difficult, yes, but the fun is in the challenge. i gave up on the GS a while ago. i was testing out the DTM scene when i had a 745i about a year back, but that got flooded out in a storm, so it was a sign to return to my toyota roots.

turbos on the SC will be an option once the warranty expires. then ill be having fun with a couple of HKS GT3505 turbos...

i just dont like the autocouture kit. i dont like the way the front lip looks. im just not a huge fan of auto couture. it doesnt help that there's not a huge VIP aftermarket for my platform, unlike the GS, but the challenge is half the fun.

the grille options for our car is limited. the only real grille out there is the blitz grille. we cant do anything like the JP or NETZ stuff like all the GS owners. the best option is to customize your existing grille based on your color scheme to make it your own.
