I answered in your other thread, but here you go: 18x9.5 +22 (+37 originally with a 15mm spacer) with a 245/40/18 in the front and 18x10.5 +36 285/35/18 in the rear
I polished the lights on both my sc400 and sc300 back in may, then lamin-x'd both and they are still clear as the day i did it. and the sc400 was outside and being daily driven up until beginning of december

We are headed down the same road. I posted a question about removing the interior window surround trim for painting. How did you remove it?

The window trim is just pressed into place and pops off after you remove the screws. You have to be very careful while prying because they are super brittle. Your best bet is to use a very flat pry stick or like a plaster scraper and go along the edges. If it breaks you'll just be in the same boat as 9/10 SC owners lol.

Are we talking about the a pillar or the door trim?

If a pillars, you have to remove the oh ****" handlebars off first, then gently pry or pull.
If it's a door panel window trim, I haven't got that far yet

Driver seat memory module is out. Removed the seat .... boy is it heavy!
Popped open the module and I think I have found the failed capacitor. fleabay has some cheap ones, but the lead time is too long. Paid a bit more, and ordered it from distributor ... postage is more than the part
Will let you know once I install and test out the module.

It's insane, isn't it? It's a shame they're so comfortable, or it would be an easy decision to jettison that boat anchor.

Buy hybrids people, I want prices to go down to 89 cents like it was in late 80s early 90s it might be possible with some time ahead...
But anyway not a hybrid here, but I plugged her in

I was anti bybrids for so long but now I'm on my second hybrid since my first Prius was totaled after being rear ended 2 days before Thanksgiving.

I picked this up a couple of weeks ago! 50mpg!! Can't beat that for a daily driver.
