I think the plastic always looks a bit different than metal when taking a picture. I will look at the front of my old red car and its looks perfect, but when you take a picture the front bumper seems to reflect light totally different so it always looked off.

Nice car and good miles. Having any wheels other than stock are a plus cause you can sell them and buy what you want. The Car need a little TLC engine bay needs cleaning and so does interior. The exhaust tips are out way to far for my taste and the doors pillars in chrome woukld have to go. Good luck.

Yea , the car can use a few mods.
But the VVTI is sooo much quicker. The bumper always seems a little off in the pictures looks fine up front. Funny how those rims are 19s and they look tiny ( maybe its the low profile rims)
I picked it up becuase a 1999 silver on black is a Rare find. I thought it was a silver blue at first . But I find a few issues with it .
The heat doesnt blow hot air at times, sometimes its hot , but other times even when its on hot it blows as if its on 75. In New York weve had some of the coldest days in a few years in the last month. Im talking about 20 degrees .
I also noticed I dont have the traction control button anymore??? I have PWR mode , Normall Mode , and SNOW Mode. Was that an optional feature on the SC?
And I also dont have Heated seats which i was really suprised about. I thought these cars come with all the options ?

There should be a trac off switch right by where you open the hood...You really have to look under the dash ...its not far from your gas and trunk opener....I had 99 SC...Its surprising how they did not put that switch by the Power/ECT switch...By the way i had same color combo...Loved that car
