Default Sunday drive (with pics) 56k no no

Hey guys…. Went on a canyon run yesterday and took a few pictures, there nothing special just thought I might share….

To answer a few questions;
  • Yes it needs to be lowered
  • I had these wheels laying around from my old SC so I thought why not throw them on….. I know fitment sucks! But better than the Pie plates ;p
  • The car is completely debagged except for the rear L, and I have Red overlays on the rear tails…


Hope you guys enjoy!

**Edit** I should be throwing on my 4 pot LS400 brakes in the next week or so, Ill make sure I take pictures and do a write up for anyone who wants to go that route!!


Who ever is in the LA area and would like to set up a mini meet this weekend reply here and we will get a few Sc’s together and do lunch or something!!

Thank you for the heads up, I have already sourced a sheet of 1/2 inch aircraft quality aluminum from a local distributor... I just need to drop the suspension so I am able to make a template and throw on the spacer....

But this Aluminum is some tuff stuff... I'm a bit worried about what I need to do to get it into the shape I need.

The de-badged look is very sleek, but it's not complete until you plug up that keyhole.

What's up wit all the cool whitey's in Socal? I guess it's the most popular color and there's so many of them.
Heck, it makes me want to re-paint my silver to white. But then again,
I got too much shine on that so I think I'll keep the silver. haha.

I never liked black or white on any car in general due to it's exterior maintenace, bu after seeing yo black/white
rides, I'm considering a possible white on my next new car purchase. NOT!

Oh, nice white ride and love da chrome shoes BTW

Hey Teeman,
Do you live around northridge? I think I have seen your car around a few times.... once on lassen, then on mason... I keep on seeing a silver SC with what I think looks like the wald kit.... 18's and custom licence plates... I keep on trying to say whats up but it never works out

Nope. NorCal. It's probably one of the other WALD whitey's down in Socal.

No actually they are 18's, My friend who has a shop down here sold me these wheels, someone ordered them and never picked them up so he had them laying around and practically gave them to me a few years back for my old sc4.... there pretty cheap price wise but after about 4 years of abuse I‘ve never had a bend, crack, leak or anything, over all I am very happy with the wheels… there just too small and have high offsets for my taste!
If you’d like I can ask him the name of the manufacturer, you should be able to get a very good deal on them.
