  1. Tbh all you need is the supra 17" donut spacesaver which should cost about $60 on ebay. Which you can just throw in the back or tidy it up with a bit of DIY carpet etc.
  2. Just take out the side trunk liner and you get access to the antenna. Not my car :D
  3. Ive also got the Tein CS and Daizen sways and I found it too stiff :D I had to back the front damper off but leave the rear on max and is much nicer for me. Do you have the Daizens? If you dont I would say get the Daizens instead of changing the springs.
  4. I would think this is a C-BEST setting You would need a dealer to change it.
  5. You can have a little modulator added to the stereo so it can scan different frequencies search on Google. I have one myself as I have a JDM car exported to the UK, but it was fitted before I got the car. Any good car audio shop should be able to help you. Im not sure if just putting in an European DVD will work, but give it a try. I should think a Lexus dealer would be your best option. Im sure they can atleast try one without charging you if it dont work.
  6. You might want to consider a 2006 model has a few improvements. New gearbox, new head lights, rear tail lights, bluetooth etc.
  7. Where did you get that done. .t looks great. Where can I get mine done as well. oh its not mine, im not big into ice anymore love the sound of my v8. Ive done ice installs and carputer installs in the past though. I have had the ml system out when I installed my dvd changer and TV. Its pretty straightfwd to rip out if your so inclined.
  8. Make sure you dont put water in the one marked 710
  9. Ive seen a few done, should cause no problem to install an aftermarket unit. Obviously you have quite a big hole to fill though.
  10. I think you've posted in the wrong forum. This is the SC430.
  11. I dont use my car for a couple of weeks regularly. When I first got the car I often got a flat battery, after I stopped using the alarm it was fine. If you can ie your car is garaged then dont set the alarm. Or get one of those switches fitted to the battery that disconnects the battery when it reaches too low, so as there is just enough juice left to turn the engine over.
  12. "trunk does not open with the key button" umm.. is that the same with both keys? maybe the key button contacts are worn out (new key casing needed) or try replacing the key battery. Ive changed my key batteries 3 times now so they don't last that long.
  13. If it only covers engine and transmission then I wouldnt bother. If you can get a bumper to bumper than that would be worthwhile, the mechanical roof could potentially be very expensive. In my five years of ownership all Ive needed was an 02 sensor.
  14. Have you checked the bulbs are ok, just pry off the clear cover with a small screwdriver. I know the contacts are very poor and one of mine stopped working. Try bending the contact inwards so it pushes more against the bulb if need be.
  15. Long shot but try disconecting the battery for 30 mins to reset the ecu.
  16. Optima red would be your best bet, only reason I never bought one is their 3-4x more expensive in the UK :(
  17. You need to use better grease, Ive heard marine grease is very good or try and get some more of the Daizen grease.
  18. I think this was the site http://www.navtool.net seems to be down for revamp at the moment though.
  19. I have the original Luxlink and tbh it is a bit buggy, does the ocassional strange thing and every now and then dont work at all. Ive learnt to live with it so im ok, if I lived in the states I would probs get the latest one but its alot of hassle importing, taxes, and then refitting it again etc. Ive heard the new one is much more stable and has the additional feature of controlling the back windows. Anyway im sure you will be very happy with the latest one, its a very cool mod :)
  20. Very common problem I think its due to the extra stress they have to go through with not just the use as a trunk lift but also the top up/down use. Anyway just buy these takes 10 minutes to fit. $58 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LEXUS-SC430...sspagenameZWDVW
  21. I have a seperate TV tuner and DVD player and everything changed from NTSC to PAL for the UK. There was a seller on ebay.com that was selling a kit to add dvd, back up camera etc to our cars.. sorry cant find it now.
  22. I just used a can of that tint spray. I actually applied it with a paint brush to get it really black. Although black looks good on black cars the white ones would look better on most other colours I think. http://www.clearcorners.com/products/lexus/sc2/
  23. Any car audio shop/installer will be able to fit the Luxlink. I would just ditch the runflats even if they where brand new will just ruin the ride.
  24. Quite a bit of work, had to fill the recess and repaint :D I did have a little scratch on the back so was happy to repaint it.
  25. Tints, blacked out bumper lights, Wald body kit, 20" alloys..
