Hello everyone,
I'm new here (in fact this is my first post). I just purchased a 1992 SC 400 (previously had a 1994 GS 300). Just a few details about the vehicle before I ask a couple questions and seek some suggestions.
98,500 miles
Beige / champaign color (a few scratches)
1 owner FL
Clean title
Interior in great shape
Paid $6000 for it.
It appears to be in great shape mechanically. I'm looking to make this a project car; which entails spending more money obviously. I had a few questions and/or suggestions.
What can do I about the yellow-ish headlights (my GS had this issue, but after a fender-bender got new ones)? I'm not looking to buy brand new ones (any aftermarkets worth checking out?). How can I go about cleaning these headlights?
I'm looking to put some custom wheels on here. Not 20's. This vehicle is not made for 20's however I see them quite often on these SCs ... I don't get it. I think 18's might even be pushing it, but I'm highly considering 18's. Any suggestions on how safe and comfortable this vehicle will be on 18's?
I'm thinking about 18" Verde 5ives (they look sweet, and they're reasonably priced).
Now a more important questions / suggestion. I'm looking to do a paint job. I know it's going to be expensive, but just how much you think? I'm not doing no Maaco garbage; I want it done right. How about some price ranges for the following:
Repaint - original beige / gold color
Black
Candy Apple-like Red (glossy)
Royal Sapphire Blue (glossy)
This vehicle has the gold lettering if that helps your suggestions.
Thanks!
