And the SC430 looks new again! Yea. 😁

OK. Enough with the b.s. Let's talk what you do now.

First. Read all of the stickies at the top.
Second. Remember their are differences between the 02-05 and 06-10.
Third. Do a smoke test if you can and/or replace all of your vacuum lines, pcv valve, check filters.
Forth. Get Techstream for your maintenance issues. Plenty of info on this site. All conflicting unfortunately due to various reasons. If you cant stomach getting Techstream to work, I own various iCarSoft scanners that do monitoring of your systems but no interaction. No complaints though. Long story.
lastly, many top problems are related to lack of use. We'll be here with tips and tricks if you need it. Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the club and congrats on your purchase. You can remove the pie plate and get the center inserts.

Your wheel will look better unless you like the pie plate.
