Default My New(to me) SC430

Last night i received my new Lexus SC430 which i purchased off here(2nd SC430 off CL) I bought it from Mellowcmb who lived in Cali. I already had a SC430 but when i saw this one for sale that had some very nice wheels and a bunch of other upgrades like coilovers, luxlink, wald kit ect.. It just made sense to buy it and sell my black SC instead of putting several thousand into the black one to get it how i wanted it. Plus the new one was white the color i really wanted from the beginning. Mellowcmb took amazing care of this car and buying went as smooth as can be. I bought the car which was in california and 4 days later i had the car and title in hand here in Virginia. i already have a Front lip and a nice double din alpine unit and just bought a blitz TC and real soon i should be all set up.

Looks good. One thing you might consider is red tint on the taillights. It covers the amber, which looks very dated in my opinion.

Default shipping

who shipped your car and what price did pay? I may need to hire a shipping company for a classic vehicle I am considering.

Thanks,

RKT
