How much did you pay for it?
$8k bone stock. Some days I feel it was too much considering it has it's mechanical issues but others I feel I got a good deal.

That is to much, i would pay 8k for a mint condition 99-00 with 50-90k miles. But the vvt-i 1uz is a rare car engine and i believe you have the 3 spoke wheel which is also rate so as long as your happy thats call that matters.

car looks extremely clean, nice pickup.
it may just be my eyes, but your passenger door panel looks like its a different color than the rest of the leather. mine is the same way on my 94 after i replaced it.

Disagree.

The 99 sc400 Durrby purchased is appropriately valued, even in this economy.

It's a clean and rare configuration, and would easily last another 100,000 miles on the odometer.

Agreed: Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

I like it. I was rolling the same sizes (assuming the rears are 9.5" with a high offset) for awhile and without adjusting the camber and dropped on Espiler springs, there was absolutely no rubbing. If you use any spacers or do a camber kit you will definitely need to roll/trim your fenders or possibly even pull them though.

What should I run as far as spacers. I'm not sure what the offsets are but I think if I used 5mm ones in the rear and 10/15mm ones in the front it'd look a little better.
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

-2.25" header back straight pipe exhaust with Magnaflow X-Pipe
-5Zigen Fireball Mega Exhaust

-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.
