Default My SC3: LMK Wut you think

UPDATE 8/16/09 New pics on pg 3

Heres my 92 SC3 5 speed with 245xxx original miles on it...Things i've done so far are listed:
Injen Intake
Tein CS Coilovers
Clear GS300 Bumper Lights
DIY All red tails
DIY Cornering Light to stay on
6k HID Kit w/ somewhat matching LED bulbs all around
Blacked out badges
Magnaflow exhaust with stock tips
16'' Mesh

Thats all for now. I also did a full tune up and changed the clutch out too. So far the car runs and drives great given the mileage. Its my DD, but when the motor goes i'm planning on doing the Aristo swap. I'm located in S. Sacramento, CA btw too. Lmk what you guys think. THanks

Very, very clean...Nicest Sandstone Beige SC I've seen with black spokes w/ a lip...Clean mesh wheels...I used to have 16" mesh, too...yours look good on there...you can get away with smaller wheels with black spokes/lip...and not to mention smaller wheels can look pretty classy and not too big or distracting. I REALLY like how the black-painted emblems look on our color...I'd easily rather have that color on the emblems than chrome-plated or my current gold-plated emblems...Also, the red tails look very nice...I've got red/clear, too...love it...love the red/clear look...And, of course, coilovers are a huge plus...I'd like to get lowered soon. Overall, great-looking Sandstone Beige SC and very clean and classy.

nice. love it. always have been a sucker for mesh wheels

you need to get a skinnier tire front and rear.

i use to have the same wheels for a bit. first they were gold



...then pink



get some coilovers and slam it

they're 16x7's with a low offset because it rubs front and rear with only 225/50 fronts, and 225/55 rears. I shaved the rear a little and cambered the rear all the way out so it doesnt rub in the back anymore, but the front still rubs right now. If you want the rims just search up mid 90's mecury grand marquis loll......thanks for your replys guys.

i like the look alot, the wheels, black emblems, and redded out 92-94 tails all look great together..

maybe a SC400 front lip, and a little bit better stance would set it off
