Happy new 97 SC400 owner.
I would like to say thank you to those who helped when I was posting question while in the buying process.
I aquired a 97 RSP (although I belive Lexus calls it a different name). 94,600 miles on the clock when I got it. Although I love the exterior color, the tan interior has to go. I'll probably be replacing it with some katzkin leather, along with some other custom touches like a redone rear deck to hold which ever subs I decide to settle on (right now I have an 8W7 I could bring over from my other car, but I'm not sure if I just want to add another of those, or do somthing different), Re done door pannels, and some nice kick pods all done in black leather ofcourse.
I also plan to add even more sound dampening (since I'm an installer I get a very nice discount on Dynamat brand products). I'm suprised with how quiet the car is stock, and plan to only make it better.
I'm a very picky person, and have driven countless cars looking for the ultimate Daily Driver, and can't belive how it all just clicked once I got behind the wheel of an SC400. The only complaint I have about my new car, is why the hell didn't this all don on me sooner.

Pics to come soon. I've been working my *** off lately so I've been to busy to take some good ones.
Anyone know if I can use the spare tire from a Turbo Supra with my stock rims? The previous lame *** owner decided to leave me with out a spare, and I plan on upgrading to TT wheels, and TT brakes down the road, so a stock spare probably won't fit over those anyway.
If you realy want some I can get you a good price on extreme up to the door kit (thats all we stock). Retail its 94$, I get it for like 40$. if your doing a whole car may be cheaper for you to just buy the ghetto home depot brand (I've used it before, 225 sq ft for 90$).

The Supra Spare should fit it. Maybe if you had the chance to pickup a full-size supra wheel later on you should do that so you can have a full-size spare that would fit.
