Nathan:

As posted you can use the RX wheel which is rare (I have one of those, too), or a wheel from a GS, ES, or SC. My current one is from a Camry SE. The non-SE Camrys have 4-spokers.

Price all depends on how good a deal you can score and the condition. Could be anything from $50 to $300.

They come with wood, smooth leather or perforated leather in black, gray, or tan.

First off, great looking car! As clean as they come.

I think I know why your Wald Lip didn't fit right. The JDM/USDM front bumpers. They are shaped differently in Japan, where they don't use as thick a foam absorber. The JDM front bumper is more flat if you look from the top, whereas the USDM one is more rounded. So anyone that buys a lip from Japan may be in for some custom work.

Just putting that out there for future reference.

First, Tymboo and HKS, thanks for the props.

As for the body kit fitment: the length of the bumpers was perfect.

The rear bumper is a full replacement so that took care of itself. Oddly enough, the USDM absorber fit just fine behind it. The front is just a lip and that fit fine as well since it's just the lower portion. So any fitment issues due to the JDM bumper differences don't apply here. I'm pretty sure Wald designed it that way.

My fitment issues were different (see above thread) and unless the Soarer has a different DOOR then it's just a poor execution on Wald's part. Strange considering everything else they do is top-notch.

(this is ki_soarer under mteeles screen name)

i think what sums up this car is unicorn!! very rare and unigue, but no one can seem to catch up with jose to check it out. jose, we missed you at the show yesterday... you should come out today, there are about 20-25 SCs in attendance.... most on boost! oh, and ryan called to give you my number.

this car has so much time in it to make it what it is. probably the nicest SC the world will ever know.

Default Mod prices

That's a thing a beauty. I'm currently putting my eyes back in their sockets.

I'm a new SC300 owner. I'm currently limited in money for mods, so I wondering how much the parts were for your car. If I had a price list to reference from I could better budget. I know that total was under $20k and you mentioned that the brakes from the LS400 were $191. But if you could make a quick price list of the other parts, i.e. rims, paint that would help a lot. Thanks


Amazing work........
