The car looks great man. Your service bay looks massive at Park Place. Ours seems so small after seeing that.

Tonight/this weekend will be plenty of work done!

New window visors should arrive tonight.

As well as my NRG short hub, Nardi wheel, and new rear lower control arms! Should be also finishing up mounting the front lip, replacing some fuses to fix my lighter and horn - and see what else I can do to clean up the car. May also replace the shifter bushings and do a transmission fluid change.

We'll see how much time I have.

The trick to rolling the fenders is to cut them first to remove all the tabs. Plus it adds relief points for the metal to fold without dimpling. On my car, the quarter panel was cut, then I used a belt sander to shave it down, so I'd have the perfect amount of clearance without any visible paint damage in the rear.



Your car looks good. Now it's just time for paint/vinyl/plasti-dip or whatever you plan on doing to get it 1 color.

Your roll job looks amazingly clean!!!
I should have done the meathod you're speaking of for cleaner roll, the tabs didn't do the damage it's the double layer raised sheet metal on the back side of the qp that was in the way of the roller to make a clean swing, but some areas wouldn't let the roller meet the edge of the lip,( because rubber roller was too wide) it would skip over some areas.
I'll be honest with you, I probly could have done a better job with a body hammer folding that lip in

So I got a lot done today. Didn't get photos of the outside of the car yet - but I got the window visors installed. Also got the NRG hub and quick release installed, with the steering wheel. Girlfriend is way smaller than I and more flexible so she got underneath and checked fuses out also. Also got the shifter bushings replaced, so it feels a lot better.

I drove my SC for the first time in a week after getting a 2001 ES300 and driving it every day.

I'm getting ready to order some new wheels soon. I may actually make my own build thread finally too.

That sounds like some nice stuff for the car. Which window visors did you get? I saw some cheap ones on Amazon but wasn't sure of how they would fit.

Installed a set of seats from a 2012 Hyundai Genesis R Spec coupe in the SC. Have the matching SEM paint to do the rear seats for a complete look.
They are just as comfortable, more supportive and quite a bit lighter than they SC seats for some weight savings. The driver side is 4 way power while the passenger side is full manual. I have to clean them up a bit.
Install was very easy, just minor fab work to the inner front mounting tabs and reused the stock tabs for the rears.
Got them at a local junk yard for $90 for the pair.
