Default Some pics I just took of my SC400

Hey everyone,

Here are some pics I just took of my '92 SC400. It's not nearly as nice as the rides that a lot of you guys have; but, I have a lot of stuff planned for this baby.

Anyway, let me know what you guys think.

Good starting point. Is your interior black?

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone! She's in pretty good condition for her age, IMO. She's a '92 SC400 and I got her for $2k, with 337k miles. Garnet Pearl with Grey Leather Interior.

My most immediate plans for her are getting some rims and a drop. Right now I'm really leaning towards picking up some 19" F-Sport wheels - not sure yet, though. As for the drop, I think I'm going to go with the Tein Flex's. I'd really like to do the 97+ bodykit, and also convert the interior to Black.

Ok, here are those pics of the interior. Sorry if the colors look off, the lighting was kind of weird.

I am very impressed with the mileage and the shape its in. It seems the previous owner took somewhat of care. I remember when mine looked like that. All gray, now its all black but the headliner... Good luck with the drop and whatever your future plans are. Keep us posted.

I was thinking about switching everything out to Black except the seats, leaving those grey... but I think I'd prefer if it was all black. Plus, I'd like to get the car repainted Ultrasonic Blue, or even the 8V8 Pearl Blue from the LFA.

Thank you for the kind words! I'll definitely keep everyone updated on the progress.

lol I sure tried!


Edit: Here's a quickie photochop that I did of the SC400 with F-Sport Wheels and Brakes. Hopefully the wheels look like 19"... that's what I was going for, at least, LOL.



Anyway, what do you all think of that? I think the brakes would go very well, especially if I repainted the car Ultrasonic Blue.

Don't repaint it, just take care of your paint. It will never be as good as original.
