I've been busy :)
 
I spent this summer working, taking summer classes at the college, and modding the SC. I've done a lot of minor maintenance and interior/exterior cosmetics so I figured I'd get my buddy to take some pictures. These were taken after getting her professionally buffed/detailed earlier in the day. The detailer did a very good job, the condition of the paint is astonishing!

The first priority for the SC was to redo the sound system since half of the speakers were blown when I got her. I went with JL audio 6.5in vr650-csi in the front and 6.5in vr650-cxi in the rear with a JL amp and the Pioneer F700bt head unit with navi. For the bass I picked up some used Eclipse 12s with a 800w amp from a friend for dirt cheap. I might switch to a single 10in sub in the future but for now these are a lot of fun :)

It was a little scary tearing apart my mint interior but I'm glad I did! I've also added white interior LEDs from luxurymods.com and love them. Added the 97+ tails, and just ordered LS400 brake calipers, rotors, and SS lines. Up next on the list is exhaust, then BOOST! :woot:

This car is truly a gem and my goal is to treat it as such, while still enjoying it as a DD and showing it off to the world :cool:

Many more pictures on the way!

Looking great man. Paint is in excellent condition

I'm sure you already know this, but you have one of the nicest, factory preserved SC's in existence! For some reason, these cars always seem to have been neglected by past owners. Yours on the other hand, looks beautiful. I'm glad it fell into the right hands.

BTW. Couple of questions. 1. How did you do the license plate lights in led?
2. Where is Okaloosa county?

balla_boss Aug 15, 2009 06:37 AM

msc300 Aug 15, 2009 07:20 AM

if you're asking about the rear license plates, just unscrew the clear plastic cover and pull the 194 bulb out and pop in a new set of LED bulbs of your choice.
to the OP, looks clean!

Hil Aug 15, 2009 12:30 PM
