That's rude as hell of you to tell me that I can't tell him that he posted 5 threads within a month about the same thing... It was a suggestion for the future, to condense/consolidate- and this is a public forum. I'm not the only one that noticed.. I thought I was pretty polite? If anything, I helped him by listing all his threads for anyone that wanted to look at his Quicksilver SC400! I even said that I like his SC so... yea.

Very very Nice!!! What % tint is that on the 98 SC? I'm getting my windows tinted next week and want something similar. Thanks!

I thought about putting my 98 Supra T.T. Chrome wheels on this car but they are not in excellent shape, probably a 7-8 on a scale of 10. The tires would also need to be replaced as they are pretty bald. I figure that I spent way more on this car than I ever should have, and if he wrecked it tomorrow what would the Actual Cash Value of this car be. I know I must be into this car a lot more than it would be worth to AAA insurance. I also did not want those Momo rims and 8 brand new 245/45/18 tires sitting around my garage collecting dust. For whatever reason my old man loves the look of those Momo's. You have no idea how hard it was for me to get him to put something different than his 92 stock 16 inch chrome wheels on his other SC400. I bought some paint to spray the calipers but by the time the painter finally got the car back to me last Monday night, I barely had time to detail the interior and exterior of the car before my parents headed out on the road back to Mt. Juliet, TN Tuesday morning. The tint on the car is only 35% which appears slightly darker because of his black interior.

If I had planned on keeping this car for myself, I would have definitely found a newer steering wheel as well as having the painter re-do the side pillars. My Dad could care less about having an updated, newer looking 99-00 steering wheel. He actually loved the quicksilver painted pillars. He believes that they do not show greasy fingerprints. Who knows what he thinks and why, I am just thrilled that he loves the car I got him. I did however look for almost 17 months for a 99 RX300 wheel and never could find a complete setup for a decent price. Thanks for the compliments though.
