Thank you so much for your comment and support!!! It really means a lot😄 Just subscribed btw - love the channel!

Agreed!

@@ada-um9nf thanks!

Thank you Joey!! Did it all myself for about $1,000, I’ll be showing you all how to do it here soon!😄

Thanks so much Richard!! I love trying out different color schemes and I think this one turned out pretty cool and unique. Thanks for the comment and your support!🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Tyler my man!! Thanks so much dude for the support, I cannot wait to transform your stang!😄😄😄

Totally agree!

@@FLman101 😄😄

That’s awesome! Love the difference with how it looks in the shade vs the sun🔥

Appreciate you!! Any wheels you would recommend? I’m trying to look around for some

Thank you!! I love the gloss and satin contrast🦈🏴‍☠️

Thanks so much Thomas! Yeah I liked the silver too, I wanted a color that would be similar but also give it a modern touch! Love what you’re thinking with the wheels, that’s up next on my list!! Hey if you want it I’ll give you a subscriber discount haha, thanks for the support!

Also just wait until you see the interior… 🤩

He gave you a shoutout in the new part 5 video!

@@ada-um9nf He’s been around from the start of the channel! You guys are awesome!

I’m getting the new wheels TOMORROW!!! Would you want a sneak peak???🧐🧐

Thanks so much Dylan!!! Hahahah want to see more of Dillwit?😂

Thank you!! Yeah for $2000 you can’t really beat it👏🏼

Yeah I was torn on the roof! Wasn’t sure if I should do it grey, gloss black, or satin black. I thought it would be cool to contrast the gloss grey with satin black, and I think it turned out pretty cool especially in the sun like you said!☀️ Thanks so much for your comment and feedback, I really appreciate it😄🤙🏼

@@Atlanticbeachcustoms ...I found your channel in my feed on episode 1 of this Lexus build. I recently moved to AZ and have a 1995 LS400 with 150k miles I've owned forever. The AZ sun is killing it and I've been thinking of wrapping it, it's a 3rd car that sits outside and is RARELY driven. That's probably why you popped up. I LOVE your content so far. Your approach and style resonate with me. Keep it up. Another few like this and you have a subscriber in me!

@@ferrynpalmer3875 That’s so cool, I love hearing how you all come across my channel! I’ve been looking into picking up an LS400! I’ve had some other people recommend it up next too so I’ll have to look into those. If you decide to wrap it let me know what color you go for! I seriously appreciate that comment so much though, I’m completely new to this KZfaq stuff and have 0 clue what I’m doing so it makes me so glad to here that some of you enjoy these videos! I love cars and DIY projects so I figured after years of doing them I may as well share them and see how it goes😄😂

@@Atlanticbeachcustoms ...I'm serious....you have a knack for this thing here, keep it going!! I'm a massive fan of OEM plus when it comes to modding my cars. If I wrap the Lexus it won't be anything outlandish. It's a 2 tone champagne with a grey on the bottom rockers. The paint is probably the best factory car paint I've ever encountered...but the plastic lower portion is taking a beating in this AZ sun. I'm thinking a solid color over the entire car....a pearl white...or a nice burgundy maybe with the badges blacked out. But...I'm terrified of the wrap demolishing the clear coat!! Should I be worried about that?

@@ferrynpalmer3875 Well that really means a lot, seriously thanks so much!! Gotcha gotcha, is the clear coat peeling or lifting up at all or is it just faded? Wraps are pretty incredible, they normally wont lift up any paint or clear coat on the original paint! But if it’s been repainted or if the clear coat is chipping already you do run a risk of having some of it come off when you remove the wrap. I’m on instagram @atlanticbeachcustoms if you could send me some pics I might be able to get a better idea!

Thanks!! I’ll be making a video showing you all how to do everything!🤙🏼🤙🏼

Thanks! Yes I need to figure out something with the fitment/wheels bad😂

Would you go with some spacers or just get new wheels altogether? The tires are pretty worn so I’m thinking of just getting new wheels altogether🤔

Thank you Chase!! Really means a lot, thanks for the support!🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Thanks so much for the feedback!! Is there anything you would’ve done differently or have liked to see for next time?

Thank you Halle!!!😄

Thanks for the continued support!🤝🏼🤝🏼

Thanks so much for your continued support!! Have a great day over there😄

@@Atlanticbeachcustoms you as well thanks

@@unkafella3211 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thanks so much!!! Would you have done anything differently?

Thank you so much!🙏🏼

Thank you so much!!! Thank you also for sending over that link for the brakes, sometimes I don’t get notifications for Instagram DM’s so I just saw it today😂

DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH! I thought I was going crazy in my part 1 video when I couldn’t find a way to manually release the trunk😂 Glad to hear you love your SC, do you mind if I ask how long you’ve owned it for? I love these SCs more everyday Thank you so much for the support and your comment🤙🏼🤙🏼

@@Atlanticbeachcustoms I'm glad I helped. My SC is mint with 63k on the clock. I bought her new in 2004 from Falk Lexus in Beverly Hills, California - and no, I don't live in BH. I have been fortunate enough to have owned other cars simultaneously that I've also enjoyed without putting miles on the SC. EVERYTHING works beautifully in these cars. The 2004-2008 LS sedans were also works of art. Those are damn sexy sedans. The SC was called "The Crown Jewel" of Lexus during its production years and had the highest resale of ANY car during those years. It amazes me what these cars are still fetching in price. I paid about $64K new. To me, they look expensive Japanese. I think they'll be even more collectible in the future. Lexus over-engineered these cars to compete against Mercedes during this early period with their cars - before Lexus was LEXUS. As long as you replace the timing belt every 100k, which you did, these cars are solid and will last many years. I have no squeaks or rattles. Everything works brilliantly. The Lexus 8 cylinder is like butter. I've only had two problems since new. Front passenger side oxygen sensor ended up melded to the manifold - Lexus dealer $2900.00 to drill it off. Three screws connecting one of my Lexus Chrome wheels had to be removed by a Lexus Mechanic - $1300.00. I've owned Cadillacs, a 2003 Tacoma (21 years), a Miata (most fun you can have in a car with your pants on) and a couple of Jaguars. I live in Rancho Mirage California - you know, Palm Springs. There are several of these SCs as garage queens for the snowbirds that live out here. And it's also weird out here because Rancho Mirage has a population of 18 thousand people, but its Rolls Royce and Bentley Dealership sell more cars here than anywhere else in the United States. Go figure. Anyway, I have never got tired of my SC and I still look back at her as I walk away from her. Enjoy your car. You're doing a terrific job with her.

@@wayneonparkI think that was the best review/description I’ve ever read about the SC… bravo!!! Thank you so much for all that history and info about your personal SC430, people like you are the reason why I love KZfaq so much haha.

@@wayneonparkSo glad to hear you’ve enjoyed your SC so much, from the little bit of time I’ve spent with mine I can already tell why they are so popular!! Thank you again!!😄🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

You're the man!

Thank you!!! I love it too🤙🏼🤙🏼

Thank you so much!!🤙🏼🤙🏼 Absolutely loving the SC430, how have you liked yours?

@Atlanticbeachcustoms had my 2002 for 4 years and still loving it as a weekend car. I am in Australia and they only sold 695 here, so it is rare.

I think so too!

It would be!!

Thanks so much Robert! Anything you would’ve done differently?

Thank you!🔥🔥

🔥🔥

Thank you so much, as someone completely new to KZfaq that’s one of the biggest compliments I can receive!😄 I LOVE wraps because you have freedom!! For $500 you can change the color of your car, and there are LIMITLESS color options that you could never get from paint. Wraps can also protect your factory paint from minor scuffs and scratches as well. Don’t get me wrong painting is great, but if you’re like me and you like changing up the look of your car every now and then while also keeping the factory paint underneath in good condition then it’s a must✅

I haven’t priced a paint job lately, what would a car like this cost?

@FLman101 I heard wraps cost $1500 on up. $500 is not bad if you are a car guy.

@Atlanticbeachcustoms Is $500 the cost for parts or does it cover installation as well. I heard is cost closer to $1500 or more!

@@350zlover2 Wraps are actually closer to $2500-3000 for a full wrap if you take it to a shop!

Ayoooo! Thanks so much for your continued support!! 😄🤙🏼

Thank you so much!!! Yes I need to figure out something with the wheels/fitment, have you had any issues with yours? And YES I have exhaust and tint on the list as well, you read my mind!🤫😂

No rubbing at all. Even without coilovers it look much better. But I wanted a firmer and more responsive ride. I have a little more than an inch gap and settings on the coilovers are set in the middle.

@@kinhtang808 That sounds like what I’m looking for, thanks for the reply!! Have you done anything else to yours?

Just a Blitz Advance Power Air Cleaner to hear a little throaty sound. I personally feel this air filter is perfect. You hear it on high rev but absolutely stock while cruising. Highly recommend it. I wanted to keep as much OEM as possible. Also upgrade my tires to Michelin P4s 255/40 18.

@@kinhtang808 Awesome thanks!! Have you done anything to the exhaust? I would love to see some pictures of your car if you wouldn’t mind sharing!

They are definitely unique! I’ve never hated them like most people do. The tires are pretty bad so I have to replace those anyway, would you buy new wheels altogether or keep the monoblock ones and just replace the tires and add some spacers?🤔

@@Atlanticbeachcustoms Personally, the purist in me would not have painted the wheels black but instead refinished/repaired them if they were worn looking. With that said, if budget allows, I would buy new wheels since the stocks need new rubber anyway. Depending on how wide you go and the offset, you can skip the spacers with the right setup.

@@adventsociety5382 Gotcha gotcha! Yeah I’ve got my eyes on some nice silver 11” wide wheels… I think some new wheels would be a great finishing touch for the exterior🤌🏼

Same! I think they look cool

same i dont mind em

You are the first member of the NOTI GANG🙏🏼 Thank you Preston!

same

@@ada-um9nf Thank you as well!!❤️❤️❤️

Dude thank you so much! Tried to the do the best I could to make it look newer for the least amount of money😂 Thanks again!🤙🏼🤙🏼

Oh that’s awesome!! I’ve been looking into some fitment ideas for this and have thought about running spacers. Do you have any pics you’d be able to send me?

My instagram is @atlanticbeachcustoms if you could DM me some pictures of yours I’d love to see how they look! Thanks for the input😄

Thanks so much! Checked out your channel, love your content I just subscribed😄😄

Yeah I was torn on what to do with the roof, thanks for your feedback Hayden!🤙🏼

Do it!!

How do you like your sc430?

@@Atlanticbeachcustoms I don’t have one yet but I’m getting it this year, truly and iconic car

@@felixdacatwitdamac1084 Oh awesome!! Let me know if you end up picking one up, they really are iconic! They’re timeless

Thank you so much man!! It’s 100% an underrated car, I could see these going up in value here soon! Thanks so much for the compliments and your comment, I totally agree with you on the black headlights. I’ve been wanting to try painting the inside of some headlights and I think these would look great with it!😄🤙🏼

No way that’s so awesome!! Tell your fam I say hi and thanks for watching! I love that word “bussin”😂😂

Hey thanks man!! Matte red would look killer on one of these❤️ I am actually going to be taking the headlights apart and painting the insides black and I do have some nice wide wheels coming in to fix that fitment😄 Thanks for the support!🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

@@Atlanticbeachcustoms yeah that'll take it next level! Good job!

@@grahambj Thanks so much man! Stay tuned🤙🏼

You totally should! I’ll be making a video showing you all step by step how to wrap your car!

Hey Ed! I’m not entirely sure yet, I’ve been thinking about that! I think an auction definitely would be cool to see, set it at no reserve so whoever bids the most takes it!

I agree. Gives you and your channel some free publicity as well.

@@EdPattermann Exactly!

I used to have a silver sc430. Great little car. So much fun. I’ll be bidding on this one.

@@EdPattermann That’s so awesome! I can definitely see why these cars are so popular, I can’t wait to get this one all fixed up and ready to go. Stay tuned😄🤙🏼

Fair enough! I’m planning on some new wheels altogether, just wanted to play around with these ones for the time being. Also I agree, I think I might wrap that spoiler gray! I’ll have to check out those markers, thanks so much for your input and feedback!🤙🏼

@@Atlanticbeachcustoms another idea I think would look good and be “free” would be to paint the inside of the headlights black.

@@ka24de-t I’ll try that out too! I think that would fit better

You got it!!

Just for fun! I wanted to see how the gloss would contrast with the satin black top. I’m planning on using gloss piano black for the interior so it looks nice and shiny! Thanks for the input 😄🤙🏼

Yes two of the bulbs do flicker!!! Have you had that problem too? I’ll get that sorted out if not and see how to fix it 😄🤙🏼

I was told to purchase Canbus antiflicker modules but I haven’t installed them yet… I was asking you to make sure what I was told was correct… and is it the 9005 led that flicker??

@@lesleyroberson4837 Ahh okay thank you, let me look into that real quick! And yes it is the 9005s

Thanks for tuning in and for your support!!

Could you imagine how cool that would be and the traffic it would bring!! That’s a wonderful idea I’ll try reaching out to him once I have this build finished and before I list it on cars and bids. Please keep up the awesome recommendations!😄

@@Atlanticbeachcustoms Exactly. Doug wants good content and interesting stories. Brings him traffic and $$$. And in this case, helps Cars and Bids. And of course helps you. A win win! Go for it!

@@EdPattermann Absolutely!! I will 100% be reaching out to him, have a great Friday over there Ed‼️

Thank you!! Yeah it’s sitting pretty slammed right now, might end up adjusting that ride height😂

Why would I spend thousands for a decent paint job when I do a perfectly good wrap for $500? You can see where a paint job got me… overspray and dripping clear coat everywhere 😬

@@Atlanticbeachcustoms why go to college when you can get a job at Target as a cashier

Dude thank you so much!! I like playing around with different looks and I was a bit nervous how this one would come out😂But i’m so glad you like how it turned out! Thanks again so much for your support, have a great Thursday🤙🏼🤙🏼

@@Atlanticbeachcustoms Of course. This is one of my favorite cars, and there are not exactly a ton of videos out there for it. I hope this gets you lots of views and subs! One day I hope to find myself a minty Pebble Beach edition. Btw, I do not recall if you mentioned in an earlier video if you checked to see whether the timing belt and water pump had been done?

@@moremustard It really is a special car! Thank you, this car has already gotten me more subs and views than I could’ve imagined😄 Those pebble beach editions are gorgeous!! Yeah I tried checking and found no record of when it had been done last. No markings anywhere and I found no record of it from recent service histories. I’ve been debating what to do, I feel like I should get those both changed in case but I want to see how it goes fixing up these current problems first. What would you recommend?

@@Atlanticbeachcustoms You already know what I'm going to say. 😎 If you plug the VIN into the Lexus Owner's Portal and there is no record of it being done, at the very least do the timing belt. People often do both at the same time because it makes so much sense to do so. Having them both done will also make it easier to sell and add value to the car. People who know what this is know it is an interference engine, and a recent timing belt/WP makes it a more attractive prospect.

That’s so awesome, this color looks amazing on the car! Hahah that’d be funny, I’m actually thinking of maybe selling it to a subscriber for dirt cheap, I think that’d be cool way to give back! CarPlay is a must, it’s such a cool feature to have in a classic car like this so you can enjoy music with the top down🤙🏼 Thanks for the comment and the support!
