Welcome! Good color combo choice, I looked for a black on saddle forever.

As for popular mods, ditch the run flat tires, lower it, get some wheels, and enjoy

Welcome irokdastar

Just look at the 'post the most recent pics of your SC' for lots of idea's.
This forum will make you spend, spend, spend.........every time I get mine how I like it, I see something else to add...

Regards Steve

Upgrade the stock woofer, luxlink, 06 tails!

Stock wheels are 18, i think they look okay up to 20 but for NYC 18 is fine as long as you do 235 tires all around (dont go lower profile).

Put a Parrot Mki9100 in the ashtray and you will get bluetooth, ipod connector, usb, line-in and stereo bluetooth music streaming to bring your '04 stereo up to date!

SC430 is a great car. I just sold my 02' SC430 and it had 163k miles on it and it was still running great. Engine was still very smooth.

If you want to plug and play a parrot MKi9100 get yourself a quick connect kit from these fine folks:
