Wow, your SC looks great. I'm envious. I just moved back to Tampa and want to get set up with a mechanic and body shop to try to get my 93 SC300back to it's "glory days" It's a little rough around the edges, but still runs. Any suggestions?

Thank you I appreciate the compliment Right now over christmas I should have my brake calipers painted with the lexus logo in there to finish up some of those finishing touches. As far as mechanics go....sholexman here on CL is the man when it comes to Lexus since he works there so if you need any help im sure he would be more than happy to assist. As far as body work goes....get in touch with isuxel and KLD here on CL as well. isuxel has an IS with some body work done and it came out flawless. Also KLD is working on a widebody SC so he might be able to tell you where he is getting his work done as well. Good luck and be sure to check out the Tampa thread over in the Florida section to see when we are going to be meeting up sometime.

Very Clean Car.

What Lexus car and year, and emblem, did you get the steering wheel emblem from ?

Thank you very much Well one day around my house I went to the junk yard to see if there were any Lexus cars there and I want to say it was a mid 90's ES model center cap on the rims. I just took it and separated the logo from the center cap, cleaned it, primed it and painted it and it fit like a glove. Just put some of the 3M double sided tape to keep it in place. My suggestion is just try and look at old model Lexus cars in the junk yard and just try them out. Good luck and let me know if you need any help in finding one

Hear is the lastest installment on the car.....painted the brakes black with white Lexus stickers on the front calipers. Was not able to put any stickers on the back but these came out good. Gives the car one of the finishing touches.

Thank you....I think it turned out pretty good for some paint, stickers, and simple green. The reason why I didn't hook up the antenna is because there is nothing for this antenna to hook up to on the car. It is purely for looks and nothing more. At first it was standing straight up but then after being on the rode and highway it has angled itself a little bit but it still looks fine to me. The radio still works on the car just fine and with no difference than before. I would say if you just want the looks and your other antenna stuff isn't working this might be your next best plan. Just remember to get a nut on the end of the antenna , put the antenna through the grommet so it won't go anywhere, and zip tie the antenna to the inside of the car. Still haven't lost that antenna yet

Thank you sir I will be waiting for that shoot as soon as your ride is back and ready to go. Can't wait to see how your interior turns out.

Thank you very much for the compliment. Yea the tails are allright but I may go back to 97+ sometime down the road again. No spacers yet but hopefully soon I will put like 10mm or something after I get the exhaust.
