Perks56, not painted yet. That's just the epoxy . Going to end up a pearl like the motor color.
Thanks all for the positive comments...

Really interested in how your front end turns out. I think you'll be the first to actually run and drive it with the Lexus IFS.

Will keep ya posted . Should be awesome. I made sure to keep all the Lexus angles and dimensions , just changed out the stock coilovers with some QA1's.. It looks like it was made for our trucks.

How much caster did you add into the crossmember mount? Or did you keep the crossmember level. I googled caster alignment specs for the sc400 and its 2-3.5 but can't see how in the world you'd adjust it

Yeah I understand once its mounted you could shim or shave the mounting points. I guess i need to level out the crossmember and see if the caster is already build into the arms or if i need to angle back the crossmember when i install it
