As usual with most refreshes: headlights, taillights, and the ugly wheels are replaced. All for the better, IMO.

2005 SC for comparison:

Those wheels are a huge improvement. The interior is still ugly, though.

Speaking of the interior (and this is a personal thing), bright orange would not be my first choice of interior color.

Same with me Z350. I just got 500 posts yesterday!

I think the pre-refresh version looked much better, minus the wheels of course.

RWD60 · 05-24-2005, 09:53 PM

looks ok... definately time for those wheels to go, i think every late model SC i've seen has aftermarket wheels. i'd still take an XLR or SL or 911 over this any day.

InfinityZ350 so your at thecarlounge now too.

jro4566 · 05-24-2005, 09:55 PM

It's a nice refresh considering the 315HP IS convertible is coming next year.

I browse; not a member, though.

do I see chrome in the fog light inserts?
still messed-up those wheels could have very well come off a S-10

they should have left it alone (just update the horrific wheels) and slap a s/c on the engine. that way everyone would have been happy

Okay, you're spending too much time away from work...

Wait, I have just 1 more to go and I'll be a Turbo GNX too!

Looks better, still too soap-like though.
