Still the same as the last few pictures, I scraped off all decals though. I also tinted the whole windshield to 35%. Next year I plan on getting a new set of wheels. Might go with 19's this time and lower it a bit more to compensate. My last 3 sets of wheels have been 20's. Sometime next year I'm gonna get it fully resprayed again. The hood is beginning to show little cracks (crows feet) and the passenger side is in rough shape. Sorry the uploaded pics look like they were taken with a potato. Guess the quality suffered when they were uploaded.
Your car is looking great! She's in great hands for sure.
Any plans for the new year?
I'm very much still around but not as active as far as posting new threads/updates.
Needless to say it didn't end with just the listed proposed mods.
Not sure how this thread got bumped but I'll briefly list some of the mods that have been done since the last reply in this thread in no particular order.
-Car was resprayed back in late '13 the same factory Angora Beige Metallic
-Shaved antenna/emblems
-IMF headers
-2.25" header back straight pipe exhaust with Magnaflow X-Pipe
-5Zigen Fireball Mega Exhaust
-SRT Intake with race ecu
-Different 20's - Rohana RC7's 20x10 / 20X11
-Fujin VIP front lip
-C6 Z06 Corvette calipers/ISF rotors up front and Supra TT calipers/rotors in the rear
-Clazzio diamond stitched seat covers
-Toyota rain visors
-JDM bubble winker side markers
-Stance GR+ coilovers
-Ikeya Formula front upper control arms
-Megan Racing rear lower control arms/toe arms/traction rods
-Full stereo system
-Popformance climate unit
I also picked up a 2008 ISF Neiman Marcus Edition #6 of 50 back on halloween of last year.
Modding has basically come to a halt on the SC and I'm in the process of modding the ISF slowly but surely.
How's that for a 7 year reply?
What was the car like after the Z06 brakes if you don't mind me asking?

What was the car like after the Z06 brakes if you don't mind me asking? I've read that they trigger ABS all the time because of the huge change in stopping force
This car always sticks in my mind. I love the 20's on it. If I ever score another 400 auto this would be my inspiration for sure! I'm scared to run 20's on my SC3 because it already has a hard enough time spinning the 18's when I choose to do some hoodrat activities lol.

I honestly don't even remember what the stock brakes felt like. The car stops pretty good but I remember people saying that since the master cylinder is still stock your not unlocking the full potential of the brakes. In all the years i've had the upgraded brakes, also have the supra tt rears I've never once had any light come on as a result of them.

Thank you! I understand 20's are not everyone's cup of tea but the 20's were on the car when I got it. I just got used to that size. But 3 wheel setups later I may go to 19's with my next set just to switch things up.
Well I've had this officially 10 years now as of last month. Just went with a new wheel setup. 20x10.5 +38 and 20x11.5 +30 Ferrada FR2's. I went with the suggested tire sizes of 255/30 and 275/30. The fronts I'm ok with but the rears are slightly more stretched than I anticipated. There weren't a bunch of pics online of the wheel/tire size to go by though. None were that stretched. I may pull these off and go with a 285/25 or 285/30 before too much use.
those are my favorite wheels you've had yet, car looks fantastic, now get those headlights cleared up!
Thanks, mine too. I've tried 2 different restoration kits with drill attachments and they never come out clear. I think the yellowing is on the inside of the lens'.

you gotta just get sandpaper and go at it man, those kits won't do anything to 20 year old headlights. they're definitely not on the inside though. start with 150 grit sandpaper, then work your way up to 2000 grit, after that clear coat it and they'll look brand new. make sure to get wet and dry sand paper, it works much better on plastic.
