​​​​​​would you mind sharing how did you fit the camera inside the spoiler? Very clean & oem style install. This setup provides a much better view than mounting on the license plate area.

I bought the smallest camera, removed spoiler, drilled hole in spoiler with the drill from camera kit, put wire in trunk hole, and laid camera wire with the brake light wires.

That is a slick install. I really like your mods, I haven't seen anyone doing what you're doing on here before.

Default SC430 - Wheel Cover Change
Greetings fellow SC430 Owners,

Today I decided to go back to the original wheel covers. Feedback is appreciated!

I've been looking for information on swapping EUDM/JDM power folding door mirrors. This is one of the only pics/videos I can find of someone who has done it. I know it's a longshot, but has this guy posted any information on any Russian forums? or have you seen anyone else do this?

Whoa! Does that clear the hard top when it retracts? I was working on something similar, but couldn't find a bar that wouldn't hit the roof.

thank you for his IG, I will definitely check it out!

It's modifed rear strut brace for aristo/gs300. Top works good. You can also ask him to made one for you.

Bought my 2002 SC430 today and picked it up. Pics and intro later tonight. Drove it from San Antonio to Austin, Texas and that V8 wants to run. Purred like a cat at 80mph.

Got 5 estimates to get timing belt and water pump done. All over the place from $600 with my Aisin kit up to $1900 using their parts. 3 shops would not use the kit, 2 would. Ended up scheduling w my 370Z mechanic who has done similar jobs in past with Aisin kit, I trust his work and he will charge $600.
