Should i part out the TL mod my Lexus?

Need your input,

Should I part out my TL and put it back to stock for daily driving and mod the hell out of my SC300 stickshift? It is sucks that you can mod the TL without worrying about the tranny and stuffs, and the possibility of the aftermarket parts for the SC is almost endless

This is the list i wanna do to my SC300:

Cusco strutbar and Sway
Toyomoto stage III 570hp rwhp and 560 ft lbs of torque
TRD Torque convertor upgrade
Supra Clutch upgrade
Custom Intake
12 550 injector
2 Supra fuel pump
HKS Wastegate and blow off valve
HKS Hiper damper suspension
Supra brake kit
Greddy Exhaust
Bomex, Do-Luck or Veilside kit
Rims to be determine but tire size 245 front, 285 rear
OBX Underdrive pulley and cam wheel
Other stuffs like turbo timer etc,
The video/audio system will be imported from my TL.

What do you think? Anyone interested in my TL parts

I am still thinking about it. It is hard to part out the TL after you put in so much time and resource into it. But the Lex mod list is just so tempting..... And the plus side is that I can dust TypeSDragon and let him take some of those exhaust fumes

But if I actually go with parting the TL then this is the list:

- Comptech exhaust and spring
- AEM Intake with By Pass Valve
- Neuspeed strutbar
- OEM body kit (White)
- Custom made indiglo front door sill in Fern (then i need your old one)
- Streetglow underbody neon
- lots of 6" and 9" neon tubes
- Amp MA audio, 2 12" subs, 2 10" subs all kicker
- Sherwood DTS decoder/Surround Amp
- Optolink (spelling???) Analog to Digital Converter
- VAFC (new never install)
- Pioneer 6 disc DVD changer
- Jensen VCR
- rearview camera
- Bel remote radar detector 915VR with dual laser
- AV 4 in/3 out switcher
- Headrest Alpine 6.5" (if you want this, i need yours headrest)
- Visor 4" screen ( I need your old one too)
- Inspire rear shade
- 18" Alstald 1 chrome rim wrap with Nitto 555 (If doesnt fit the Lexus. If it fit then I keep it)
- 2002 Tail light with harness

Not sure what else .... i can't remember

damn kenny...havent seen you here in a while~

well if your parting out the TL because you need the money for your SC then...i guess...
if not just keep it the way it is...your car is so sweet and you worked so hard on it....it would be a waste.

the only way i would part out my TL is if i was getting a new car.

nice car tho...i always wanted a SC.

Thanks,

I've been so busy at work lately, not time goofing off at work anymore

It's not the money issue, I just figure i need a daily driving that can get me through the North East Winter time. I am kinda flip flop between keeping it or parting it. That's when you guy come in to help me out.

So guys and gals, keep the TL and mod the other one ???
