Also posted these pictures in the SC section. But figured some locals would like to see as well.

Fitment pictures of the SC300 Blitz NurSpecR Single Exit Exhaust

I have the Blitz NurSpec R single exit exhaust. Here is the fitment on that.

I also got the rest of my 5 speed swap parts in yesterday, so the swap will be taking place very soon. I decided to go with the CenterForce Dual Friction clutch instead of the ACT b/c the ACT was on back order. Pictures of the new parts and the process of the swap will be coming up soon in a new thread.

Very soon. Pulling the SC in the shop later on this evening and will start tearing into it. Total project probably won't be done for a couple weeks, simply because I work 50+ hours/week.

It's a cat-back. The single exit exhaust is the cat-back. Blitz also makes a dual setup, but it is only an axle back.

MSRP I believe the single exit exhaust (mine) was around $658. The dual is somewhere around $630.

I can get them for considerably cheaper through my vender if anyone is interested.

here is a couple shots of the car and the wheels, I guess they arent BBS, but lexus, they do look like it though, thats probably why the dealer said they were. Dont know I will have to take a closer look at the wheels. pardon the car, it is really dirty. (its funny the first pics I took of the GS400, the car was really dirty as well) Rest assured guys I take good care of my automobiles.

I installed new leather from LeatherSeats.com (also Katzkins) and they look great. The back seats were fairly easy, while the fronts were much more involved. I took care of the back seats on my own, but grabbed a couple of neighbors for the fronts. I'd never done this before, so it took me about 2.5-3 hrs to do the rear seats and about 5 hrs with three guys working different steps on the fronts. I got the set (includes rear, front and center arm rest) for $685. If you need to replace the door arm rests, they cost $99 a piece. I have some marks on my driver's arm rest, but I plan on trying to dye them.

As far as the carpet goes, it costs about $300 from the dealership and shouldn't be too difficult with some help...that's my plan later this year.

Hope this helps.
