here's what im working with

here is what i currently have on the car now:

2jz-gte engine swap
Espelier 100mm springs
Tokico Struts
2003 IS 300 front seats

Here is a pic of the car the way it sits now

i have picked out a kit that i wuold like to run i like the job design kit becuse it is simple enough to flow with the car but is enough to be noticably different from stock. i plan on keeping a tywo tone paint scheme with the pearl white on top and a dark gray on the bottom. wheels have always been hard for me to choose because i dont want my car to look like all the rest. do they have to be a particular brand or just anything jdm. i have already taken most of the interior out of the car to have it re-done as im sure most of you know the condition of a 200k mile 94 GS. i chose the seats simply because i broke my back in a car accident in 2001 and these are just more comfortable to me. the wood grain peices are all cracked up so i have a friend that does wood work use some mayple veneer to re-do all those for me and add a few that were not done factory. the center of the dash with the ac vents, controls, radio, and ash tray has been taken out and i am currently building a peice to hold an alpine double din headunit with nav. i guess my main question on the interior is what is acceptible and what is not. i know fiberglass painted peices are not. i have the a,b, and c pillars and headliner out getting those covered in black suade. my door pannals are getting wraped in black suade where the leather was and the rest dyed black. i have started building a rear console that will consist basically of a dvd unit for the rear monitors an i pod hookup for passengers with wireless head phones a cup holder for eash side of the car and a small table for misc items. thats where im at with the car so far. if anyone has suggestions just let me know. i posted pics of the exhaust that i was planning to run in another thread. i appreciate the patience as i learn this style of cars. :pat:

Looking good, I quite like the look of this gen GS.
But are you sure thats 4" down? Because it looks closer to 2"...

regarding the interior, actually i think pretty much anything goes (specially if you look at some of the interiors of the Japanese vip cars - crazy colour schemes, some even go for the race look)... But classy rather than tacky would be a good start. Wireless headphones and ipod dock sounds like a cool plan!
