Here's an update. Most of you know my plans.. Well here's my official Avalon Build thread =]. Here's some starter pics until I get all the necessary parts. Thanks Gabe for saving me haha.

yea, the ugly red lipped rims are now off the car again and i'm running my ugly stock 15' oem rims + a spare lol. Next week hopefully i'll be on a set of 4 steelies. (just to match and keep $ in my pocket) and the lip will be coming off in an attempt on a garage door lip.

nice bro, you gonna be a sleeper fo sure!

Neato. My s/c actually came from a 1MZ avalon. I say scrap the lip and even forgo the home depot stuff. Hell, replace the spare with another matching stocker and go for a true sleeper.

if i can find a cheap matching stock rim ill go for it but imo its not worth paying 100 dollars for an ugly stock rim lol. I probably won't even bother with the lip anyway because winter is coming and i like my suv status here in chicago lol. I really haven't seen that many s/ced avalons. I know of bunthy's old one a green one on cardomain and a white australian one on cardomain lol. comments? insults? criticism? let's hear it guys =P

Ah, the green one, that takes me back. That belonged to Lonis/Andrew, who used to frequent the SC3 forums long ago. He had a nice build considering what was available back then (i.e. nothing).

Cool, another lucky SC owner. Good luck with the install and keeping money in your pocket. I agree that you should leave the depot lip off...they are cheap and they look cheap. I want to see a lot of progress and frequent updates on this thread, so keep us posted!

UPDATE FINALLY. all the parts are finally in and I got this little mod in too =]

^w/ the intake off

^finished!

^close up of the filter.

the total install took me from 1-2 period (slacking around a lot and had a lot of people hovering around the car slowing me down) and also 6-7th period so a total of about 3-4 hours. Not too bad eh? =P I'll take more high quality pics tomorrow

this was the day before.. we got bored and we're working on a totaled sebring for fun, so my friend wanted to have some fun lol.
