What did you do to your SC today?

Pole Position
Went over to Dillian's and had him do his magic on the front seats. Marked improvement with the deep clean process he uses.....

The seller says it's one of one at least for hardtops of this color. It was automatic from the factory and had the R154 swapped in, in case that wasn't clear. Perhaps one of you guys has one of those production sheets sitting around and we can figure it out for sure?
A special thanks to OldManTan for getting out there and taking a look at the car for me.
In case you guys are curious, I did some investigating and found the for-sale threads of all the previous owners (except for the guy I bought it from).
Here it is when it was being sold by the original owner in 2006 (pics still work!): https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lex...way-miles.html
Again in 2011 when the majority of the custom work had been done: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lex...-bbs-rims.html
Again in 2014, largely unchanged: http://www.i-club.com/forums/norcal-...2jzgte-259050/
Since then, the guy I bought it from has done a single turbo swap, some tuning (by Sound Performance), cleaned up the interior (painted wood trim, removed boost gauge), swapped the trunk to winged trunk, and that's about it.
It even came with a squeaky clean CarFax which shows the actual chassis nearing 300k miles! https://i.imgur.com/c8XSDqb.png

Preparing trim
I prepared the trim on both of the doors of my 95 SC300 to repainted them. The car runs great but it is beginning to show its age. Next up is new leather for the seats!

Instead of painting the pillars, you may want to try the "carbon fibre" looking vinyl wrap. Those pillars were not originally painted but a plastic coating on the metal. Often the paint won't last long on those pillars and peels off quite quickly....

I'm debating which way to go with that, myself. I'm hoping self-etching primer will allow paint to adhere and hold up well. On the other hand, vinyl wraps don't have the greatest longevity when exposed to the weather. The 3M stuff seems pretty good, but everything else is measured in years you can count on one hand.
