congratulations; I have an '02 also. owned now 4 years and not a single issue; great cars. you will enjoy it. what color combo did you choose? mine is silver with black interior.
best of luck.
Got my new twist caps on and they look very cool. also had the resonators taken out, only a slight improvement to the note. next is seat re color. going to have a crack myself after reading some of the posts here. will save about $800 bucks !
I bought an 06 SC as a project car, see last pic. I really didn't care for it and even worse, I traded a beloved and pristine 01 LS to purchase the SC but my buddy (02 SC Amethyst, beautiful car) thought an 06 Tiger Eye Mica Pebble Beach with 65k miles and a $15k price shouldn't be passed up. But it drove and looked horrible. So I bought it, replaced all struts, a couple wheel bearings, an O2 sensor, all four Slowly becoming the best car I've owned.
wheels and run flat tires. Everything else is stock. Now it appears as follows and runs as good as it looks. BTW, original wheels and tires in bottom pic are available for $500 plus $300 shipping. If interested reply to this post. The improved 06 Pebble Beach.
How the SC looked when purchased.

What are your new wheels? Mine has the wheels you got rid of, I must say the new ones look really nice.

Thanks, not sure what they came from, found them on eBay for too much money, they were advertised as formerly Camry 18x8 wheels but came with Lexus center cap inserts. I just wanted to add some chrome without run flat tires and liked their look. Also, the original wheels were rubbing on something in sharp turns. I'm guessing tie rods are likely incorrectly installed. Am working on that next. Overall it's been a fun and rewarding project. I'm new to SC's and really like the sound of the 4.3, much better than my LS. Thanks for the reply.
