Lexus SC430

Romeo Rones JR

Well, I'm single, and I work at an autobody shop here in the bay area as my 9 to 5 I do my fun work at home where I get stuff done from paint to bodywork tinkering in the engine bay and messing with suspension I don't really go out much on the weekday but look forward to the weekends and the adventures that come with it. 

My dad started it with me when I was young he started off at a body shop as well then opened up his own teaching me the do's and don'ts on how to work on cars which inspired me to follow in his footsteps with a twist of my own style 

I was always after the cars that were not in the spotlight and this one always stuck out to me.  It took a while for me to get it and while it had a bad review with the car and driver it made me pursue it even more on making it the way I wanted it to be 

It's a great feeling owning and driving this car because I was able to do it on my own little by little going through fazes on the build and then getting it just right to where it is today its an accomplishment really and every time I park and start to walk away the quick glance back always puts a smile on my face.

What makes your car Unique?

I think because I chose a platform that very few have tried to pursue there are a lot of builds out there in the VIP section but with sc430 the community is not that big and I also redesigned the front by giving it a modern look giving the whole aspect of the car a fresh new taste to the trunk were the magic happens were I'm able to gather people together and enjoy a little piece of enjoyment one shot at a time haha

Who did the work?

well as for the work I can claim that I did all of it except for the upholstery which I did take to a shop to get done. my acrylic pieces were made by oneupacrylix in which we also teamed up to make a nice custom dispenser that sits in the trunk. my ECU was remapped by quantum-auto.com where we used my car as the ginny pig on the programming in witched worked out pretty nice 

Future Plans:

For future plans, one of my builds would be to supercharge it most definitely then add in a manual gearbox why on a VIP build because that would be sick and would also wake the car up and make it even more enjoyable to drive than it is right now but that's later along the line.

Advice/Tips 

My advice is to always take in the knowledge that you are given and keep on learning and trying to take on new skills and strive to be the best you can be going out to meets and shows is a great way to meet new people and  study from while also building new friendships it doesn't matter if you're just starting or been in the game for a long time the main thing is to just get out there and enjoy 

Shout Outs:

I'd like to shout out to @oneupacrylix @quantumautotune for helping me with my tuning and cool stuff ..shout out to @hhwhh-collectibles fam and @lexus.alliance fam for being supportive of me through my journey into the car scene and all my friends in the car scene that I met along the way 

What do you get from the car scene?

For me it lets me express myself and be able to meet new people it helped me build friendships and also gave me something to look forward to while living my normal everyday life 

Dream Car:

Actually, I really don't to tell you the truth haha
