Very unique SC my friend. Curious of your stereo upgrades? Are you still using stock Navigation with your new deck? If you are, let me know what you used......I am thinking about adding an aftermarket deck but use stock Nav/steering wheel controls with Beats Sonic kit ML13A for my 06.

I dont use the stock navi now, I have Pioneer DNX7140 that comes with Navi so I just use that. If you upgrade your radio the stock navi doesn't work.. but if you buy the beat sonic kit it will still work.

My steering wheel control still works my audio guy added a kit along with the metra kit.

As one who is sick to death with the ubiquitous black, white, silver, gray cars on the road, I LOVE the color. It is beautiful!

If someone puts their heart (and dollars) into a build and you don't like it, ****! Move on. Very few on here would have done our car exactly this way, but the fact that Jame's put so much effort into an SC ought to be appreciated. It brings attention to our chosen ride. There are those that insist on keeping cars like they came from the factory. Good for you. For some of us, that is boring. Kudos, James! I customized a 1990 Avanti 4-door and it's either loved or hated. Just like so many other cars. Hell, why buy a unique car anyway? Because it has personality! Make it yours! Show it off. Be proud of it!

Default The clown and deflowering of the japanese sc430

Well, there is a solid gold toilet that was offered to Trump from a D.C museum....at least that's not a bunch of pieces brought together and made to fit as though Lexus went happy hour at the Pebble Beach. Hey, you don't like politics, elect this car AS a whole lot of bling and no sing, giant hat, no cattle, big belly no brain, big snake no rattle, no laugh at that "SC"!
ps, power-puff a colonic, Pnky, and stay off the boards with your fake rudeness!

P.S isn't it bad enough BBC/Top Gear rated the sc430 the WORST CAR EVER!? I would love to send a pic on the car, pimped or not, and have Pixar use it in a animated excorcist movie:

"You could pull up in a SC stock just like mine, it would be her double, and I'd know her from it anywhere!
And I am telling you that THING on four wheels over there IS NOT A ;LEXUS"!!
