Floor mats
The original '92 floor mats wore out and I purchased some knock offs from a company that copied the layout for our cars. Not that great of quality and went with the color that was close to the ones that came with the car (a brown shade). Few weeks back I spotted a deal on Amazon for LS430 mats for the '01 and bought a set and posted it in the LS430 forum. A member there mentioned his son bought a set of the LS430 mats for his SC so with a "Father's Day gift from my son he sent me the ones below.
The sets come with the 4 safety anchors (which the SC only needs 2) which was cool since mine were long gone. The front mat was a perfect fit and having the anchor is better since the knock offs had no anchor and they occasionally slid forward by the pedals. The other three positions the LS430 mats are slightly too big but I installed them anyway (and I never sit in those seats
).
I went with the "Ecru" color versus "ivory" and the embroidered Lexus logo on the front mats was a plus (for me). This may be "old news" to a lot of the veteran SC owners that the LS430 mats are an option but thought I'd relay this info I got from the member in the LS430 forum....

Noooo.... They aren't available in Canada... BOOOO
Interesting... it's a type 8 returnable item (return without penalty to the dealer)

You need to go look on Amazon as what appears to be happening is individual Lexus dealers appear to be discounting the mats to clear inventory as not all colors are available. Prices vary as well....

Bought and installed all black seat belts. The driver front I bought brand new from the dealer along with the rear covers. Having a brand new seat belt is amazing, it retracts so smoothly and very quickly. Almost feels like not wearing a seat belt at all.

Installed a new distributor. Despite installing two different distributor o-rings, I was still observing an oil leak. Replacing the distributor before killing another alternator just made the most sense.
Installed 4500k HID Kit, LED parking lights and LED front turn signals. All LEDs are cool white. Now I need to replace the cornering light bulbs. I'm thinking 3000k will look the best there, but not sure yet.
