Default Portland, OR!!! sc300!!!

I just bought a 1996 sc300 and i want to know if anyone else in the portland area has a nice looking sc300 as well. Post up your pictures! Let's see what you got ! Here's what i have =P





It's completely stock, gonna start modding it soon! Got a HID kit sitting at home, not quite sure how to install it yet but i'll get it in my car somehow ...

Which Lexus wheel package are yours from? Did you have to use any spacers? What size front and rear tires? Your white SC looks great.

They are from an '06 GS430. 245's on the fronts and 275's on the rear. I'd rather have volks, but these have gotten me by the past 2-3 years. They are heavy, but will take abuse. No spacers needed even with TT Brakes

It would look more flush in the back with spacers but you couldn't run 275's that way without rubbing...

Another angle:

Two Better shots, these are the Supra TT Brakes with real Brembo drilled disks (not the ebay garbage), I would have gone with the LS400 brakes for the front if I had to do it all over again since they are lighter; ALSO, the car has a 97+ conversion on the way! should look a million times better:

I got a HID kit sitting at home, I am very confuse on installation procedure. And yes, i've been doing research, searching through forums, threads to find the installation guide. but so far, all of them sound confusing. Is it worth it to pay someone to do it? People told me that its super easy and that it shouldn't take more than 20 mins.
