Is tacked on tacky? Or OEM?
Saw this going up to the coast the other day. Notice the side marker behind the front wheel? Was this available on an SC or out of the country cars?
or could it be as I think something the owner put on there for looks. It appeared ok in person though I am more of a have a function type of mod guy. Incidentally I have my first dyno run with the SC430 next week. Will post video and numbers before header install.

It looks similar to the one in front of the fender...maybe he moved it to the back of the fender? If he left the one on the front of the fender and added that to the rear of it, then it's tacky. Either way I think it belongs where it is when it comes outta the factory.
What figurine is that sitting in the corner of your windshield?

anyway, on the jdm soarer and sc430, there is a side marker, but i don't thikn it looks like that. but that does look a lot like the PB edition badge, which is pretty much on the same location on all the PB edition cars
imho, if that's what it is, it's cool if it's a real PB, it's not otherwise

though yeah the wheels were weird. and i have seen the 05 PB edition, the red is much redder than the saddle?
this is one weird combo car

I agree that the wheels look like the pie disks and not the 5 spoke. Look at the placement and colors of the emblems on the sc, to me the interior looks red. This ebay auction has a 2005 sc430 pebble beach edition and they looks very similair.

Still inconclusive . . .
Sometimes it's not easy too tell whether it's really red or saddle leather from pictures. One of the interior pics in the eBay link of the PBE looks brown like the saddle lol. I'm still not sure it's red, the red leather in the eBay link looks brighter through the windows than the one above to me . . .

anyway, maybe it's a PB, but the guy doesn't like the wheels at all and prefer pie plate?
