Default at least it's not white :)

Hi all,

I've been lurking since December 2001 when I picked up an '02 Solar Yellow IS300.

I got an '02 SC430 last December 2004 and started ordering parts last November.

I'd like to thank:
  • Derrick / D2-AUTOSPORT (iForged Daytonas in 20x8.5 / 20x10 & WALD kit)
  • tirerack (Bridgestone S-03s)
  • Carson-Lex (Tein CS)
  • Sewell Lexus (Daizen sways)
  • intense motorsports (Injen intake, Blitz exhaust)
  • mach III (installation)
  • Boris / Five Star Auto Body (WALD installation)
  • . . . and my wife (for permission)

Thanks! I'm in South San Francisco.

I know about the get-together, but don't yet know if I can make it.

Hey Gerald thank you very much for your business! The car looks great and I think you are the first SC430 with Daytona's! (At least the first I've done )

Enjoy man and did I email you the care guide that we drafted for the wheels?

Nice Wald kit really stands out in those lighter colours. Have trouble noticing mine in black.

Very nice all round

Thanks for all the compliments!

Seeing all your vehicles pushed me over the edge. I could no longer live with a stock sc430

jsl757: the pics were taken at the Montara Beach Outrigger Restaurant in Half Moon Bay.

SC43006: absolutely nothing wrong with white. The car looks good in all colors! It's just that there are a few guys here that were getting worried about having too many white sc430s in CA

Derrick: please email or pm the wheel care guide. Thanks!


Quick Reply: at least it's not white
