Default New to CL With Pics =)

What's up all. Just wanted to introduce myself. My ride is a 2002 sc430 ... and is very red, haha. But it's cool. My dad gave it to me (one to many rides) after someone ran a red light and totaled my P-Car =*( But I'll admit, I am happy with it. Nice to have a hard top convertible. So since the pic, the front fender lights are now red, as are the tail lights. The grill is black with the emblem (went thru three different grill designs before I liked the one now). Custom exhaust, 20" wheels, no drop yet but not sure I wanna spend 2g on this car. So yeah, my lex and previous car =( Thanks to all for your ideas on getting my car to where it is now

Welcome to clublexus.
You don't have to spend 2G's to lower it, 250 will get some springs.

Hope you enjoy CL as much as I do. The people here are a wealth of knowledge and ideas, most of them good. They are always ready to help if asked. Your car looks wonderful, but I think we would like to see pics with the changes. I'd be interested in the grill work pics.
Welcome fellow SC owner.

Welcome to CL, you don't see the red with saddle too often, clearly a winner and rare! Thanks for sharing the pics, your P was good looking too, for a P !

generally not a fan of red cars, except ferraris, but i like this combo with the saddle interior, defiantly not a porsche, but the sc430 is a great ride.

My dad gave me his name, some life lessons, and permission to work under age if I kept my grades up.

That is one nice color combo -- ENJOY!!!
