How did you get rid of the center soarer or lexus emblem on the rear? I thought if that comes off a couple of holes are left there?

I love your wheels. Very cool look. Is it possible to tint the rear taillights? I've seen that done on a black nisssan 350z (Fairlady) and it looked great. I'd also like to do that to my white sc430.

Yes theres a couple of holes and the whole rear emblem is recessed as well, had to be filled and sprayed. I dont like emblems much pain to clean

Ive only just fitted the upgraded tail lights and much prefer it over the older type, for now I like it as is.. but would be simple to spray tint if you like that. I also like how the red matches the calipers.

That's a very sweet looking SC!
That model Aicona wheel, I've had my eye on it for a while. It's on my list for serious consideration for my next wheel purchase. I can see it looks great on the SC. Probably will work well on the GS, too.

Anyway, nice ride.

I don't know if it's proper to post just to drool over your car twice in the same thread but it's been a while and I had to tell you again how immaculate this car is.

Any updates since you said you ordered more parts from Japan? I'd love to see what you've got coming next!
