Anyone know where I can get the red Pebble Beach engine cover from to put on my 03 SC

I've never seen one for sale, but it's pretty easy to do the paint job yourself with some masking tape and plastic-specific paint (like Krylon Fusion or something similar - just go to Home Depot or Lowes - they all carry it).

Just make sure you get it real clean before you spray (with alcohol or Paint Prep) and it will last indefinitely .



Good luck....

Mine was Ok since I had a white car. But I went overboard with the bling. I installed the SC430 Logo from the rear (after debadge) in the engine cover...

Mandyfig very nice! I shaved the Lexus and SC430 emblems also from the back but you creatively put them back to work and it's hidden most of the times (the reason you shaved them in the first place), genius bro!

Mandy, just wondering did this make the ride better? Or was it stiffer?

That looks nice
I was thinking about trying some red carbon fiber vinyl. Has anyone tried that before?

Before you spend the time to fit and cut to perfection, I would advise you to just tape a small piece to it and find out if it would stick after a week or so. I wrapped the front grill opening and 1 week later the glue dried up and it just came unglued and started to separate.
