Definitely interested in the door handle light up. Mind showing us/me how you did it?

white 97 SC are so nice, always wanted a white one. Looks like you're moving pretty fast

Wow, those wheels look proper. Very good choice!

And +1 for a DIY on the door handle lights! I've been wanting to do that to my car! Maybe put an LED behind the inside door handle like in some LS models?

haha small fast bursts I guess. I will make a DIY for the door handles when I get my relays and open up the door panels again. Essentially its just making a whole in the inside of the handle, with the proper led and mounting bracket it plugs the whole perfectly. After that it is just the wiring aspect. I'll put something together soon..

Question on the EDFC. does it work properly with the Megan coilovers? and if it does, does that mean it will work for others?

Not 100% sure yet. The EDFC is currently not installed. It will be. I will update when i go through that whole mess. Essentially it should work, just depends how much is needed.

Hope you enjoy the progress..

I'm really digging the illuminated door handle set up. I have been wanting to do that to my SC for years. Looks good!
