Default Pics of my new 97 SC300

Hi

I posted here a few weeks back that I bought a used 97 SC3.
Today I was able to take some pictures. Here they are.

No mods at all.
Plan to change light bulbs (Sylvania superwhite or Piaa super white?)
Upgrade wheels to GS4 17 inch.
Upgrade audio headunit to either Clarion Max or Eclipse (double-din LCD headunit)

My car had black pearl emblems when purchased and I put 'Platinum Series' badges that I bought at my Lexus dealer.

Thanks for looking!

Yeah, I just noticed that!! My bad, I posted before you were done posted the profile pic of your car. I am hoping to get the pics this weekend. We just moved to TN and half of our stuff is still in boxes (i.e digital camera), I will be sure to get you some pics though because those 17's is just what your car needs

Wow, that's beautiful! Mind if I ask how much that was and mileage? Did you buy from a dealer? I think I'm going to have to buy myself one of these 97+'s in a few years

I found a place that sells the center caps without emblems. All I need to do it buy them. That problem is almost not a problem.

thanks for all the comments, guys!

1. yes yes yes i put the 400 emblem. i am a 400 wannabe

2. there was no platinum edition version of this car. i just put the badge on the trunk lid to make it stand out

3. i think i like the GS400 wheels a little more than the TT wheels. and it is kind of hard to get TT wheels

thanks guys!
