MrIanB, what Lexus car do you have? Post some pics when you can!

Picked up last Friday 2002 SC430 w ith 110K miles, single owner in great condition.

I have recently bought and installed a new 2014 nav disc, (the newest one for a 2004.) Who knows it might come in handy in case if my phone dies and I'm lost, especially for only ten bux.

MrIanB

Is that just eject the old dvd and put the new one in or is there something to be done in the screen to make it work???

MrIanB

Dropped car off today to have the timing belt and water pump replaced tomorrow morning.

I just ejected the old 2004 disc and put in a 2014 one. The 2005 and up sc's have a newer nav system and their nav updates go a lot newer.

MrIanB

Got the timing belt and water pump done by mechanic and car back on the road running smooth as butter for $578.00 ttl plus $174.00 for the Aisin kit from Amazon. Definitely worth it over the $1900.00 some local shops wanted to charge for doing it. By the way, put the sticker that came with the Aisin kit to indicate date and mileage of timing belt and water pump done.

Wow, that's a great price for the TB and Water Pump replacement. How long did it take?

MrIanB

Timing belt replaced today.
Changed to leds map and vanity mirrors.
Removed paint film left from painted metal cracked screwed to right side of dash.
Dashcam re-installed from previous 370Z. You can barely see it below the rear view mirror photo.

Outside car view of interior leds lights on.



Any suggestions to cover these 2 screw holes???

Any suggestions what I may use to cover those 2 screw holes?????

MrIanB

About 5.5 hours.

Nasty screw holes, why would somebody do that!

Maybe some leather-vinyl repair stuff? Better than putting in some stickers...

I'm with you mandyfig I hate when that happens. You can find the replacement trim on eBay for about $50-60 though. Just be sure and match the interior color code.

Find a similarly colored push plug.

Best way would be to replace the center console passenger side trim with oem. It will take less than an hour to get the entire center console out and you won't even need that many tools to do it. Pop the new piece in and you're all set. Google "sc430 center console passenger trim" then find (and match!) the color code for your interior.
