The thing is when I turn the car off and leave it in the "on" position, the temp goes down to normal temp. So I dont know. I will get an aftermarket gauge eventually. We will see.

Thanks for the compliments guys! LexusFTW has to be one of the coolest people I have met. He is an awsome seller, and I will buy another car from him if he has another one for sale in my price range. I wouldnt think twice about it.

hehe yes. This is going to sound so ghetto, but it really wasnt that bad. CHEAP too!!!

I found out that it was molding...like the chrome trim molding that is stick on. You can get it at your local autozone...
It was spray painted black and it ran across making it look like there was no badge in the grille.
I however took it off and in the christmas sprit I painted the L symbol red...yeah, I did that. Its going back silver here soon. Trading the car. Wont be around much longer it was fun while it lasted!!!

I really wish I had done a better job with mine. I had weights on it and I didnt do enough coats of paint on mine. Plus it needed more clear coat. I hope you do a better job than I did! I like mine, but they need to be done again.

Yes, I painted them a while ago. Like a long time ago haha. They are my old rims off of a SC400 I had 2 years ago.

Nice GS!

It's nice to see another Supramania transplant here..

I'd like to get to my 95 with something similar, but I keep burying myself in Supra projects.
