Saw either a black or dark red or dark green (couldn't tell, it was night) SC with 95 or 97 tails and wheels merging onto 880N from Alvarado-Niles around 130am Friday night (Saturday morning). Looked really good, but I only saw you for like three seconds because I was just getting off the highway as you were getting on. Looked like the wheels had good fitment too.

I spotted a red or dark red SC in Santa Clara.

~ Saw you on Lawrence EXPY
~ Slammed!
~ Dark red. It almost looks like black at night
~ The wheels were sitting pretty flush with a nice deep dish. I want to say they resemble the WORK Euroline.
~ HIDs, 8000k?
~ 95-96 model

Hey RTIS250, just wondering a couple of things since you probably know more about this stuff than anyone else:

1. is the Tanabe Medalion exhaust legal in CA? If so, how likely is someone to get caught with it in the Bay Area?

2. Did cops give you any trouble since your front windows are tinted?

3. There been a moldy smell coming out of my vents everytime I put the fan on recirculating and if I turn on the AC. Took it into Magnussens and they said there was mold growing on my AC condensor. They sprayed some "mold inhibitor" on it which made my car smell like cinnamon. Now the smells back. Should I get the dealership to fix the problem (replace condensor, clean off mold?)?

Yup, that was me. Where exactly is Mowry? I am not from South Bay. I am from the city. No idea what street is what. I was just near Great Mall, Milpitas Ranch 99 mall, Auto Mall Applebee, and Frys. I just know I was there from 1-9 PM.

Haha, i saw you at the bottom of the overpass on Mowry. Mowry is central Fremont.. about 2 exits from Automall Parkway.. Not sure if you has just gotten off of 880 or had come from Newpark Mall.. You made a right turn (there is a Chevron on that corner), and went down Farwell... there is an Applebees right there, not sure where you were goin Car looks sick... not sure if you saw mine..

Yes. I came off from 880. No idea why the navi told me to get off that exit. During that time I think I was driving around looking for something to eat. I actually thought i knew where I was but I was wrong. Ended up getting lost..

What mods did you have? Was your headlights on? I usually just notice a modded 2is from their lights. I saw a few modded 2IS but nothing serious.
