Hai!!

Wow, you have been on the forum for less time than me and you just jumped in! That's great. Your SC is coming along so well! I once again like your steering wheel! It's so expensive to get service done at Lexus, so I don't blame you. I had to get another ECU for my SC and it was gonna be 2k at the dealership. I ended up getting it rebuilt for 600. So you go on finding a good deal

I'm sorry I don't know too much about what you're doing to your car but I'm learning. I am surprised to see that you'd like a reflective tint because it will make you unique

Good luck on your build and make sure you let me know when you update it

Do it yourself not too hard, and honestly sell the red one already and buy the 99 black in black. You'd be stupid not too, you already said you wanted black interior it'll cost the same amount for the whole car you're goin to end up paying for the interior alone. Since you don't like 97 aero give it to me lol

who said i didnt like 97 aero

im just fine with the car i have now, i put so much in it already. id be stupid to sell it and lose $.

the 99 is nice but it could have mechanical issues.

i can get the black leather done and paint all my moldings and plastics black.

the red one is like my arch nemesis right now lol. i really want it to go away!
