Yes, RDSC300, pics are now officially a must since you already have taken them! And no more updates as of now. Currently in the mail I have HID's (headlight bulbs, and a fog light kit) coming to me, and spacers. I'm debating whether to get the bushings (Upper and Lower, front and rear control arm, steering rack, and sway bar) done at a shop, or for me to do them. I'm really limited on time, and I don't want the SC to be out of action for too long. That's why I'm holding out on buying bushings for now. I'm looking into getting tint installed because my leather does not like the heat from the sun at all. I'm also eying up a black dash, a Momo hub w/ Nardi adapter, some window visors, a rear window visor, and some rear speakers.... That's just my small list for now... I will keep you updated on the HIDs and spacers. I will more than likely do a little write-up for HID fog lights for out cars when I get the kit. I'm really hoping to get a lot of stuff done within the next month....

Let me tell you first hand, the control arm bushings are a real pain in the neck to do. You must have a lot of time and energy and lots of propane. There is a collar on the inside of them that also needs to be cut out to install the new bushings, so dont forget. The others are pretty straight forward. If you are going to go this route, then replace the sway bar links. If you lived closer I would help you.. The HIDS will be a big improvement over the stock lights. A flashlight is almost better than the stock lights. They plain suck!!

Yeah, I have access to all the tools to get the job done, but my time is limited... I will see what I decide to do, and keep you guys updated. And stock lights do suck, I can't wait for the HIDs to get here. Hopefully early next week.

Try using an image site such as photobucket, if that doesn't work it maybe due to your low post count rules not permitting photos being shown?

Question.. I'm new to the SC300's.... The rectangle to the right of your climate / radio... looks like something that pulls out? On my 92 it's just an open port that looks like it could hold cig's or something... WHAT IS THAT? lol

Nice to see another Teal Sc. Now edit the post (links/URL) of your image using the insert image, (mountain sun icon) before the quote icon found at the top of the typing screen so members can see without clicking on the links.
