Default New to the forum - Hello!

Greetings all! I've just joined up to the forum, and am a big fan of Lexus. I've attached a shot of my SC 430 (2002), and until a year ago, had a Lexus LS 430 (my second one, whose motherboard failed around 150K miles). Glad to meet you all.

My SC 430 is my dream car--I got her about four years ago from a man in the area who had customized her. She is two toned paint--indigo ink pearl blue and crystal white gold, with a metallic silver stripe. She's got chrome performance wheels, an ecru leather interior, and just shy of 116K miles on her. She hugs the road (normally a good thing, but thanks to the horribly potholes in Colorado Springs, kinda hard out here). There's nothing much better than dropping the top on a summer day and cruising. Nice to find a group of like-minded owners.

Welcome to the forum. Looks like you've been able to keep the ecru leather in good shape, that's a pretty good feat in and of itself.

...welcome to the forum....I was looking at the pics of your Sc, does the silver metallic stripe, separate the 2 colors?

Welcome to the forum. I have never seen the two-toner SC. Look great.

Not a mean feat, but no one (including me) is allowed to eat/drink in there. Never know what will happen with kids ... Somehow it still smells new inside too--I love climbing in for that very reason

Yup! It's hard (virtually impossible) to see in the pictures, but there is a tiny stripe separating the colors. I bought it from a local who restores/customizes cars for fun. He did a beautiful job on her!

Dang you got good eyes there Tex! I just zoomed in on that and could barely see it even when I knew what I was looking for.
