All stock paint other than the 97 parts which have fresh paint.

What spoiler is that? There's no light in the middle but it looks like the 92-96 spoiler. Also, what year is this car?
Great car btw, this was my background for a while before I finally got my own SC

Well that doesn't really answer his question...

The real answer is that the early model SC300 never came with a factory equipped spoiler. That spoiler that is on CalitriSC's car is what is referred to as a "dealership accessory" spoiler. Basically it's a replica of the OEM spoiler that some dealerships installed on cars that did not come with them from Japan.

The OEM spoiler is hollow on the inside and has the necessary structure to mount an LED light and harness on the inside. These replica spoilers are not hollow on the inside, it's an enclosed design with a lower base that's part of the outer structure.

Also, the dealership option spoiler has different mounting holes on the very edges from what I have seen.

oh wow, i definitely didn't know that. So those early models had the 3rd brake light inside the car on the bottom of the rear windshield still?

It will bolt up just fine, however you will need to drill five extra holes in your trunk and I am honestly not sure if the holes on the sides will line up perfectly with those for the pre-97 spoiler. I am gonna assume they won't, but I don't have first hand experience with that.

Yes that's correct, they have that rear deck mounted third brake light above the factory sub location.

Very old pics lol. But 95-96 rear spoiler did not have the ugly third brake light because it's already in the rear window.

Default Nice Ride - SO CLEAN!

Nice Ride....when I first start looking for a SC, I wanted a Jade Green but when I saw your ride...I went with a 99 SC300 diamond pearl white - SO CLEAN ! ...Straight to the Point

I saw your sig for your wheels 10/11 +15 and +20 but what are the tires sizes?

Thanks,
Gee
