It looks fantastic. I hope you're ok with the LED's at night. I did the same thing and completely lost my high beam effectiveness. I've gone back to halogens because of that.
Thanks for the info. Its a trade off. Although I work till 11pm, the roads I take are well lit. I could not stands those yellow lights in 2020. Looks over purpose. I hardly ever use my high beams in my car so won't miss them. Will test high beams tonight too and report back.
Dear fellow SC430 owners, the boot/trunk on my SC430 has been resprayed, and the panel beater put the trunk badges back on "by eye". The badges do not seem to be exactly in the original factory position. Would appreciate someone taking the measurements of the position of the left and right badges (refer image below) for me to pass on to the panel shop to rectify.
I took photos and made an album you can see. Sent you a PM.

Also, do you know what the plug circled in yellow is holding conduit/wiring for, and is the plug complete i.e. is it the correct plug/grommet?
Got windows tinted, installed shadow lights, and shark fin antenna then washed and waxed.
Now I'[m ready for the night out with my other half. Have a good weekend every one. Cheer !

Curious did you do anything to the engine? Because I notice you have an F sport badge on the back of it.
i think this is one of the finest cars I have ever had and it occurs to me that this forum has probably completely turned over because it started with people that bought these cars new, and now its all of us that had to wait and buy them used
Looks like we have quite the taste in cars, haven't updated my signature but we are right on par.

You do anything to your Z? What did I do to my SC today, well I drove my other SC and looked at pictures online of my SC430 as I impatiently wait for delivery next week sometime.
WHOA! I wish I knew this existed when I did my badges. I had a bodyshop do them so they would be perfect, lol.
Nice post!
What book is that exactly and where can I get one?
its from the SC430 shop manual...
this one is a 2003 manual.
i shopped ebay until a set came along at a good price.
some people have the electronic version.
If anyone is parting out, let me know! PO replaced the DR lamp, so they have mismatched clarity. Both sides beautiful and clear. Unfortunately there must be a broken seal on the PA side. Found a dead spider in there - but you have to be very very close to spot it.

I broke the drivers side the first time I removed it...the part is relatively inexpensive. I think mine was less than $20. You just need to transfer the switches and the over stressed metal holding clip.
