Default My first post about my new (used) SC400 *pic*

I am brand spanking new here and I would like to introduce you to my '95 SC400 that I just picked up yesterday. Here are the specs:

- 100% bone stock
- Serviced by Lexus of Richmond BC
- Just over 90,000 miles
- No accidents whatsoever (no claims)
- Recent replacement of the PS pump and Alternator
- Pretty much mint



Plans for the near future:

- 18" or 19" black rims with a decent polished lip (I am open to suggestions)
- Complete competition SQ (sound quality) system which I am planning
- Light 5-window tint
- Lower it slightly (1-1.5") not sure which springs yet
- Intake
- Exhaust
- lip

Thats about it ! Can't wait to start on this project !

Hello and welcome to a fellow revscener

I highly recommend the Tein Basic coilovers for MKIV supra for coilovers on a budget.

Can I try to convince you not to do black rims?

Not only are they're decidedly played out -- I think a brushed finish face or even a gunmetal would work better. It's up to you, but I really think that black faced rims hit their peak cool factor about 15 months ago.

The SC looks awesome though -- makes me miss my Ren. Red

Trust me, any suggestions are welcome ! Gunmetal would also be considered and so will silver (painted or dull). I think a lip looks dead sexy on these cars so pretty sure I want one that. Chrome is definately OUT of the question and so is high-polish. Last time I bought wheels for my old 240SX it took me about a year to decide so I want to make the right choice here.

Thanks for the warm welcome and kind words. The interior is light tan BTW and it is flawless.
