I concur with Rudy, I have the fender roller from Eastwood and after seeing all the bad results from rolling, I decided to cut from inside of fender lip and they are perfect. After a lot of thought I am going to cut my front fender lips and not look back. I feel very confident with this decision. Good luck on whatever path you decide to take.

That's such a great compliment, thank you! I know it's pretty staged hahah but hadn't posted a photo of my SC yet so I figured it'd get a pass.

I can't express how much I love this car.

It's an absolute stunner - I sure miss my white '96 SC4. It's hard not to fall in love with these bad boys. Happy cruising man!

Thanks so much Thomas, I’m so grateful—and that’s the antenna there in the pic!

Now for a less glamorous photo hahah—opened the hood today to discover coolant sprayed all over. Looks like a radiator and a good engine bay cleaning is now the top priority 😅

Ouch!
just a tip; I used to take my 400 down to the quarter car wash for years and spray it clean, until I finally got water in one of my plugs. That cost me a couple of $100's

Oof, thanks for the tip! I will most likely clean by hand if I can. Thankfully most of it sprayed kinda upwards onto reachable areas.

Did something last night I haven’t done in years… met up with a local buddy with a Soarer and went for a cruise. Makes me feel young again!

Shined up the tires before heading out!


Stopped for a lotto ticket ($1.5bn!!!)


Met up at a gas station. My buddy’s ‘97 Soarer and his friend’s R33 GT-R. Very cool car.


Rolling shots…












All in all, I had a lot of fun. Burned some expensive gas and enjoyed every drop. I’ve been toying with the idea of selling her lately cause I just don’t get to enjoy her very often. But, nights like last night make me wanna keep her and push forward with my ambitious plans for her. Only time will tell, but this was a nice night and a step towards keeping her forever…

Hey Nick,
If you take a vote on keeping her, I want to be the first to vote. KEEP HER.

Nick - awesome photos!! I sure miss the days when my friends and I were out cruising Friday nights. It doesn't happen nearly as often as I'd like as I've gotten older. I'm glad to see you out enjoying that bad boy. I will say, I ALWAYS regretting letting go of my SC400... Years later I couldn't stay away and ended up with the beater SC300 I have now to compensate haha.

RSP is truly something else. You have to keep her, Nick!
