Hahahahaha...I'm not mad. I was only playing mock-mad. Bottom line is I still sold you the car, no matter which dealership I worked at the time.

Looking good, btw!

I bet Henry will bring the SC430 to Glendale Lexus for his next maintainence, & after it's done, it will have a different dealer's license plate.

I bought my SC430 almost 3 years ago at a dealer an hour away from my house. Early this year, a new Lexus dealer opened 10 mins away from me, & I bought it in to have them check my tires for low pressure light, & they ask if they can put on their license plate bracket, I told them don't bother.
A while later, I bought the car to the new dealer for my next schedule maintainence, this time they didn't even bother to ask, & I didn't even noticed the new license plate bracket until a couple days later.

The third pic of your rear wheel makes it look like a 5 inch lip! It looks very nice...I know for sure that I'll be going down to OC in November for Sema in LV..I think a four white SC pic would be nice.

All of your cars look amazing! Much better than mine, I'm jealous!

it's probably the visual illusion coz' my spokes are flatter unlike yours where they curves in. will talk about it more in my own thread

ok since mark and carlo hasn't told the whole story that day i will try to brief it a bit. it started out with an urgent trip i had this past weekend to LA to take care of something else, and i had sat afternoon open. so we took our sc430 to mark's house for a nice car wash. next thing you know, carlo cleaned his car as well and came over, so the 3 of us had some fun and chatted about a lot of stuff. my wife and mark's wife had fun with some pictures too

afterwards we went to a local school district and took some pictures. here are some "good ones" i picked

afterwards, mark suggested another location and we all set off for a nice cruise -- with our top down of course. it was a complete blast. i am not sure if you can imagine, but 3 white sc430 top down all modded with different wheels rolling together on the road and such, that's a big scene

everyone, and i mean everyone, was staring at us on the road when we were rolling. people at bus stop, people on the street, bus driver side by side with us, people in other cars, people at restaurant, you name it. it was a good feeling and the highlight was when two gals walking on the street saw our cars and scream so loud "OH MY GOD I LOVE YOUR CAR!". we caught up at a red light and they actually ran back and took pictures with their cell phones!

anyway, with my wife beside me, why not some rolling action

oh, and btw, mark drives FAST, he is constantly speeding!
