Hello all,

I have been interested in getting a project car for some time... however the first four cars I have had have been god awful vauxhalls and fiats for insurance costs etc.. (not worth spending any money on in my opinion) anyway...

I have had a '01 Lexus IS200 for about a month. looks and styling certainly need improving in the short term, yet I am still unsure of my prefered look. long term tuning will be to aspirate and improve handling, any suggestions or ideas will be appreciated as I know the options are limited.

Thanks all

You can get the kit from ebay if you are lucky , or you could ask a member on here called Ormi to get a price from his work ie, Toyota
