Smile My SC 430

Here is a photo of my 2006 SC430 Pebble Beach edition. The color is Tiger Eye Pearl which was the PB color that year. We love the color and spent several years trying to find one with low mileage. It has about 23,000 actual miles.

Upholstery for the seats are done. I had the headrest embroidered with my buddy's shop, Impact Performance. He supported me with this project along with the my Black Pearl LS460L build.



I opted not to do diamond stitching on the seats. I wanted something a little updated and modern. I kept the same color leather as it was difficult to try and change all the other panel as well.

Would you mind sharing the cost?
I understand if you do not want to share.
Just asking because I want to reupholstere my seats.

I paid $800 for the two front seats, center console and sides that lead up to the radio, and door inserts. This was done at Rojo's Bros in San Jose. I got upholstery for my LS460 here too so I'm not sure if this was a hook up price or not. But, I'm not complaining as I think $800 is an awesome price.

Yes, I would agree that is a great price!

I have a crack on the drivers seat and lan to get some estimates to replace only the front seats. I will let you know what I find out.

Restored both doors and re-upholstered the door insert . Trying to give it more of a modern look.

...that sounds like a great deal ...I've been talking with a couple of places here in Dallas about redoing the middle inserts of my front seats with black ostrich & the best price so far is $600

Yeah, that's kind of stiff for $600. My guy at Rojo's Brothers in San Jose labor is less than material cost when he did my LS460.

Here are a few pictures after I rolled into SEMA at the Toyo Tires Treadpass. Don't mind the background...I was the 4th car there so they are still setting up.
