Default Brand New Renaissance Red Paint
Here are some quick photos of my '95 stock SC300. Paint job just completed 2 days ago. Sorry about all the reflections in the paint. That's what several layers of Zaino does for you....

Now, on to finding some new wheels and tires. The factory wheels are 16's, and the tires are only 205/55's. I want to replace them with gold and chrome, hyper-black, or solid chrome 18's, likely staggered, but no fender rolling or cutting....I'm open to suggestions and photos of other red SC's....I've browsed the forums extensively, and have about settled on one of the listed three colors. I do like those G35 Rays, however.

Wow! This is exactly how my car looked when I first got it.

So much so, That I'm almost tempted to steal these pics and say that this was my car when it was stock LOL!

The only difference is that my emblems were gold and I had gold exhaust tips.

Gold 18 inch wheels will work perfectly on a Renaissance Red SC...I'll post some pics of some examples.

I personally like the clean OEM "somewhat JDM" look...this is what your Renaissance Red SC can look like, if all you do is add wheels,oem SC400 lip (Paint to match),'97+ side skirts,'97+ rear bumper and JDM side visors and do a conservative drop...





My SC didn't have the '97+ rear bumper yet at the time these last 2 pics were taken...

3L2 seems to be the only oem color that's "Commonly Rare" does that even make sense?

Looks great, but you need to call it Razorback Renaissance Red. Love the pre-97 nose as well.

Which one in specific? The '92-'94 ones or the '95-'96?
