This thread is for pictures of modified (cosmetically or mechanically) SC430s.
Please post pics. If no pic then it didn’t happen.
Please no straight stock pics. They are beautiful cars in their own way. This is for owners to review what others have done to modify their SC430s, to decide what they may want or not want to do to their car.
There are a lot of great SCs out there with innovative and artistic mods.
I'm a 3rd. year owner of an 02 and love to tinker with the cosmetics. So far it's running smooth and clean, so I'm happy with that and haven't done many mechanical modifications. The way I drive, I rate the Cusco STB more a cosmetic than a mechanical mod.

Love the blacked out roof! How did you do that? What kind of wheels are those? What is the weight? Great engine bay too! Will post my pics tomorrow :-)

Impressive mod list! I have been considering magnaflow high flow cats. Did have any problems with the high flow cats, eg, check engine light? Did you notice an improvement in performance??
I also didn't see PPE headers? How come?
Did you notice an improvement in handling with the Carbing strut bar? I bought the Cusco and it does nothing..

No problems with CEL......the PPE's are in my list under the Weapon R. I think the combination of the intake, headers, downpipe, and exhaust made a difference, but no dyno proof.....just seat of the pants.
The STB is also tough to single out since I've done a lot of suspension work so all together they work nicely.

BTW, you certainly have a very sweet car! I really like the way you changed the back seat area with the stereo system!
Also, where did you install the XM antenna?
