Instead of them scattered all over my glove compartment, then I saw someone selling what I'm looking for on craigslist! For $10! Hit up the guy, met him the next day, then voila! He used to have a 1JZ swapped SC400 same year and color like mine(that he crashed at the track 7 years ago) where he got the stuff from! I know a lot of people don't really care about this stuff, but I do, so on with the pics!
Exactly what I want to add to my collection! So far I bought a new owners manual, then I want to get the original brochure and leather case for my owners manual and registration etc..

Nice stuff!

Wow! It's a surprise to me that someone shares the same passion for these cars as me instead of gutting them up and trashing them after doing a swap!

I've been looking for this stuff man ever since I got the car! I was actually so bummed when I first bought my SC and didn't find these stuff in the glove box... Not even the tools... That's the next though on my list of OEM "parts"... Usually this things go $50-75 at eBay, and the guy was selling it for $50 a few months back, so I was so surprised that nobody bought it yet, so I got them when he lowered it to $10! Hahaha! Everything in it is mint, even the leather...

Hold up, you said you bought new manual? Why? Lexus sent me one for free, when I got my SC I called them then registered my name and that was it...

I like original brochures and glove box manuals too. I'd like to get something similar for my collection.

Today i figured Id Plasti Dip my emblems. The gold ones were lookin old and crusty, the paint is peeling off, and imo the gold is too flashy. heres how they came out:

Not too shabby, although im kicking myself because I messed up the Lexus one and just ended up peeling it all off. Gonna redo it tomorrow hopefully.

Also got around to putting on one of those home depot lips. I know a lot of people dont like them but i dont think it looks half bad. And most importantly, now my bumper doesnt get scratched up when going in/out of driveways!

In the last 3 days I've installed:
1. Iroc iPhone/iPod stereo (also successfully hacked into my stock harness and ran wires to the trunk)
2. Installed my old Pioneer 760 2-channel amp (bridged to the stock sub - works well!)
3. Swapped in Supra TT tan leather seats.
4. Installed cross-drilled & slotted rotors.
5. Installed EBC Greenstuff brake pads (on St. Patty's day!)
6. Flushed the brake system and put in new fluid.
7. Installed 3000k headlights & fogs (bout 2 months ago).
8. Almost got some 20" TSW Indy 500s - but they wanted too much money for the condition of the tires & rims.

Today.....yes today....lol New tires all the way around, front end aligned, ordered key from dealership as the one I received upon purchase looked to be held together by Gorilla Glue?! Strange, oh, previous owner destroyed passenger door in what looked to be a mad fit, had dealership look at what I was getting myself into. Damage, need to replace latch, inside handle, and lock assembly? Also tried to replace air filter box with one from a local salvage I had bought, wrong box, just a hair off where it mounts so on the search for air filter box, intake hose, etc.....learning more and more as I go, still intent on turning this lump of coal into a diamond! Shine on.....
