Looks all to familiar to me. Your March 01 build date make your one of the first built...that means "hand built" versus automation which took over later. The attention to detail during the hand build days was, allegedly, higher. Seems you now own close to the ying and yang of Lexus products for their time. Congratulations!

Be wary of your peers on this site....many, including myself, have been infected with the modding bug. While it improved the look, feel and the sounds of your car....it drains your wallet ... all to fast. Fortunately, driving with the top down, and the music turned up helps to soothe the pain of a diminishing bank account.

OK, Here's what you do....first dump the pie plates and spend $$$ for new wheels! Then, if you still have run-flats, dump them for a set of Conti Extremes for more $$$. Then change out the old stereo system for more $$$. Then start to look at the mods out there and save your pennies for more neat stuff. Aren't you glad you bought this car!!!

Well that explains it. I knew I didn't post anything that would show that but now I see the link to a picture gives one access to all my photos I uploaded to Flicker. Can you tell me more about these early builds? I LOVE driving my SC! Put 200 local miles on in 2 days. The non run flats make the ride a dream. I sold my 2005 Corvette convertible and like this much better.
