the seats look really good in there. I personally prefer the regular gt four bumper, but realisticaly it's just a matter of preference. Do whatever you think looks best. Car's lookin good btw

[lubu]

thanks...toook me abt 4 hours each seats and a lot of cutting and bolting and sewing for the bak seat ...but you gotta love the power seats adjusting options along with the heatpad ... im ordering a c-one front now so hopefully it arrives soon....i got a gt4 hood with all the extras for 440 usd will posy some pics of that sexy hood up..

[CaliJeff]

i heard that u have to get the gt 4 bumper to match the gt4 hood cuz otherwize, with any other mixture, it won't align right.

btw, did those dash gauges come stock ? or modification ?

[lubu]

yea i ordered the gt4 bumper..shipping cost more than the hood itself
those gauges were moded..mixed stock with some procarparts gauges..

from the look of the int. looks like ur going for a luxury look get some wood grain kits for the center, dash, key, hole vents and doors it will look very clean with the stering wheel you got along with the leather lexus pwr,heated seats.....btw do the seats fold fowerd for passengers to load in the back? is it motorised too? or does it just spring fowerd......but all in all i like it....need some red and black ones for mine

yea its fully motorised..although it goes really slow forward when someone at the back needs to get out, a pain sometimes Im thinking of putting a forward spring mechanism like the stock under the front pass but it would make the seat too high i need some ideas. Im thinking of getting a supra carbon magnesium wheel, that would go well with my current setup, im pretty sure that the supra wheel will fit but does anyone here has experience with them on our car?

BTW my c-one bumper is here but it doesnt come with any c1 badge??? all they gave me is some instructions, screws and a c1 sticker. Thats it..hrms i though for 1500usd at least i get a badge

[azian_advanced]

i have a spare c-one badge if you want it... but it wasn't cheap..

[lubu]

my "J-SPEC SUPRA MKIV IS 300 OEM CARBON STEERING"..

wow..i thought that wheel was a mith...nice man. How much did it cost u??

[Driveby]

I need one of those wheels, that is awesome!!

[forkee]

wow...thats very unique! cant wait to see the finished product!

[lubu]

cost me $699USD shipped from japan...expensive but worth it. I just got the gt4 latch from a german dude so that problem is solved...

I got the st185 clip too..cost me 2000AUD...88' kms on the clock, is that cheap guys?? i searched around quite abit but they all pretty expensive in OZ an st205 clip cost abt 5000AUD thats if i can even find one. Shipping from anywhere else whould be too expensive for me not to mention the customs tax fee.

[azian_advanced]

wow, first the powered lexus seats, then the gt-4 hood, c-one st205 bumper, projectors, jdm supra cf steering wheel, and now you go and bought a st185 clip?! i hate you....

[celica47]

Very nice! You should do a detailed write up of the seats and the steering wheel mods.

[Slick]

That CF steering wheel looks great!

[goferris]
