Talking Finally my 1st post!

Hello CL, its good to finally get on the SC430 forum. I got my SC back in June 09 and some of the info on this forum has help tremendously. So thank you. Finally had some decent pics of my SC when I took a drive out to Julian, back country of San Diego. Good start to the summer. Drop them tops!

Welcome and a very fine first post. Great color combo, I'll have to show this to the wife and tell her, her's could look so good, if she let me add a few things. She likes the way it is, no adventure.

Default Thx.

Thanks for the comments. The car is dropped on D2 Racing coilovers. The roof is a glossy black vinyl, the rear diffuser is flat black vinyl with transparent black over reverse lights, and taillights are transparent red vinyl. Who knew you can have so much fun with vinyl?

Care to provide some feed back on your D2 coilovers? Hows the ride and what profile tires are you running on?
