Another small update, front bumper is on! Woot! Car is looking pretty good. You can tell the paint is different from the front bumper to the hood and fenders, but oh well. I have a list of small things that I came up with when I went over the car that they still need to fix before I take it home. If they don't get it done tomorrow, I'm still bringing it home over the weekend to do some misc. mechanical work to it anyways. I will post pics later!

Well here are pics. I really hope they finish the small stuff that needs done tomorrow. Also, I need new chrome emblems with tabs. I don't want to use double sided tape unless I have to.

Well I picked up the car today! Just got done working on it. Had to do a thorough wash and clean, and then I replaced the one brake caliper, and put on new wheels! I don't have any pictures, but I will tomorrow. Tire Rack called me and said they have those hub rings, and the new suspension will be here Monday. Then i will get new bushings put on sometime within the next month (when time permits). So far so good! Only thing is that one of my HID bulbs blew, and my fogs aren't working.... Hmmm.... Going to figure out what HID I need and what is wrong with the fogs soon.

Well I'm trying to figure out what HID bulbs to get. I know right now I have McCulloch 6000k 35W bulbs by the color at night, and from this photo...



Where do you guys recommend I buy bulbs from? Any help would be great because I need them asap! Thanks!

Actually ended up grabbing some bad pics.. It's something to hold you off Also a picture of the bulb...







They fit pretty good. I will need small spacers, but I will measure after TT suspension goes on!

Buy from DDM Tuning, lowest pricing around with lifetime warranty. I've had mine since I bought my SC, and I have never had any kind of issues whatsoever with them.

Just got done ordering those HIDs. I plan on tomorrow, removing the front grill and painting the tabs black, doing an oil change, fixing the foglights, getting black or gray caliper paint, getting new rear brake pads, and doing any other misc. things that I can get done. Another update tomorrow night!

congrats on that nice teal mist sc300 dude. Big Plus on the 5 speed. i have the same exact car as well. 95 teal mist 5 speed. she will last a long while by doing regular maintenance. mine is still climbing at 320,000 miles... oh and by the way idk if you replace the passenger window regulator. but if you havent, you should try spraying some silicone spray around the rubber pieces around the window. it can just be getting stuck on it. making the motor work harder. i did this and it goes up smoothly.

Awesome man! And I haven't replaced it yet, but I will spray it down. Thanks for the info!
