Nice! It's perfect. I see drilled rotors, blacked emblems, a little black patch on the rear bumper, the skirts are lined with a black rubber only on the passenger side, whats that?

Wow clean,

What are those black things on the door molding and side skirts? Never seen them on a SC before in those places, some type of rubber stripping or tape?

well the gent who sold me the car was a JPL aerodynamics engineer. when he bought the car he put it on rollers in a wind tunnel. to see the vulnerable spots of the body ,most likely to be hit by debris while driving with his final data he decided to put molding around the car i took it off at first thinking cuckoo!!! then thought about what he was saying so i decided to get a better molding which is 3M and put it back on its also on the side view mirrors, along with the very front tip of the hood looks ok but i know it helps the paint is all original renaissance red a few little dings..which you have to look for them to see them trying to size the new pics smaller to fit here so everyone can see i just hit 31,477 miles today lol i had a 03 lexus rx 300 it had 330,000 miles on it... i think this car can beat that

Default Add rims fsho

Beautiful. I say absolutely go for some new rims. Those stock ones look very clean but its like trying to look modern while going out in your grandpas bowling shirt. Lose 'em, and put a nice set of 18's on there with 245mm tires; with a nice set of understated rims it will really make the car look like a new model without saying "LOOK AT MA COOL NEW SHOES!" Also you'll get a better view of those nice new brake rotors you put on. And you improve you're handling with the wider tires.

Rear window spoiler I don't think you need. If your model had a lip spoiler off the trunk then it would match more, but not with the spoiler you already have.

Front lip spoiler would look good IMO. Add a bit of sportiness. Like everyone else says, the SC is very classy, its a beauty, but also a beast of automotive engineering and deserves to look that part as well.
