I ordered new floor mats from a company called, "Precision Fit". I decided to go with them since they're owned by covercraft and all my other covercraft accessories have been amazing. These mats are slightly smaller and lighter than stock which worries me they'll shift around, but its a nice alternative to the discontinued stock mats.

I went that way initially and the after market mats did not hold up at all. One of the LS430 forum members suggested looking at LS430 mats which are much heavier and the Lexus logo. The fit on the driver side is perfect; the front passenger side is just slightly too large but acceptable; rears are way too big but I scrunched them in...

There are reasonable prices on Amazon and these are the real deal.

Default Tinted my just purchased black 93


Just had it detailed and windows tinted.
Just picked up my 2nd SC400. 1st one ran great but let her go at 360k. This one has 110k so ways to go yet
Overall great shape and so far tinted today, intergrated Bluetooth to stock radio until I integrate my be Atoto 2din Android radio and new cabin filter.
Mechanically I need to replace tranny mount, bushings and possible coil-overs vers or kyb struts or Monroe's based on money.

Anyways here is exterior shot and will post more as cleanup of interior.

Put my newly acquired 1993 factory 5speed up for sale $9,000. Crazy price I know, but for that much I would sell and then put a supercharger on my 95 sc400

Default Swapped out the stock tail lights!!

What a difference in appearance. Got them used on eBay at good price and easy to swap in 30 minutes.
Orange blinked lense was raised but clear adds nice clarity against black paint.


Will be selling these cause they are in good.

Your SC looks incredible! That carpet is cool. I’ve never seen it in an SC before but I’ve seen it in an IS-F once.
