Installed the black metallic emblems. I think I'm done with the exterior cosmetic mods for now. Happy Holidays to all you good people out there.

That's so true. Nothing has ever been easy with my SC. Everything goes a lot smoother on my other cars though.

I did get the wheels on the next day. It looks great but it seems my speedometer according to my radar detector. The tires are a lot bigger than the ones on my SSR's so maybe that's it.

Purchased it, registered it, insured it, and tagged it. Then drove the hell out of it. I sold my Jeep to buy this as a winter beater car/new project. It needs a real good bath, then some real pictures.

I put some gas in it and put air in one of the tires. It was really foggy this morning so I drove the SC to work today. I'd rather someone hit that than my LS.

Man that looks CLEAN! Never seen an SC in person without a spoiler....all I see are 400's around here. I would like to see mine without a wing, see what it looks like.

Bought a pair of 92-94 Tail Lights off ebay for my 95. The driver side has a terrible condensation problem and always looks flooded, I also like the looks of the 92-94 ones over the others as they look alot less ''busy'' and I bought them for only 50+ shipping. Pretty good deal.
