Just received these for the SC ...




Not bad, $35 for the set of eight. Will be installed during the winter storage period.

Where did you find that deal?

EBay, from a seller in China. They accepted my "best offer". Price included shipping.

They look like the real deal, not counterfeit or fakes. Toyota packaging with Denso plugs made in Japan.

Directional tire rotation (with scissor jack and single jack stand in my garage) and put on the shims/antisqueal plates for my Supra TT BigBrakeKit (which solved my squealing....hoooray!).

Great news Shawn! Glad the Toyota parts department helped you out!!!

Over the weekend I decided to paint my engine cover gold to match my gold emblems on the front, rear, and wheels. I'm still thinking the strip in the center of the cover should be gold as well but I need to remove the Lexus emblem to paint.

Now I need to have something gold for the interior. I call it the "King Midas" edition. I know it's not for everyone but the gold and Starfire Pearl contrast so well together I though why not?

Can you post a picture from a little farther back to pick up the car also?

+1 I might attempt this this weekend. Such a simple mod and quick too.

I masked off the center with masking tape an painted a few coats of gold followed by a few coats of clear.

That looks really good John!

Thanks, who says only the Pebble Beach can have a painted engine cover? Also use DupliColor paint, I had some other stuff from Home Depot and it would run real quick around the edges.

Installed my new TPS this morning. It is working great now. No more throttle lag going on. Thanks for the information on adjustment of it.

I kind of like the contrast between the gold and the silver on the cover. You might lose some of the pop if you paint the whole thing. (Then again, it might look better.)

I was thinking the rest of the black part needs to be gold

Was the procedure easy?
