I don't think your car is '95 at all...I have a '95 and my tailights and front bumper don't look like that at all and your high beams look like they're plastic and not glass...LOL! Are you sure your SC isn't a '92-'94 year model?

there was no 1jz in the U.S unless you dropped one in. Since the SC300 came out till when it ended production it always had the NA 2jzge. 1jz's only came factory for Toyota Soarers over seas in Japan, Europe, etc, etc....

+1 with crazysc300 I dont know if its really a 95 either. Unless your 95 has been in an accident and got its bumper replaced with the older 92-94 model and the tails replaced also with the 92-94 model

I have a '95-'96 bumper...All USDM SC300's from '92-'00 are all designated with the chassis code of "JZZ31"...."JZZ30" is a chassis code for the Toyota Soarers equipped with a 2.5 Twin Turbo 1JZ engine...These "JZZ30" cars were only sold in Japan.

Im just gonna throw this out there.. but what makes you think that people in the valley would have seen you around for? you have a very plain car with 2 different sets of wheels to visually set you apart.

yeah, not to burst your bubble but your car is a 92-94. 95's have a line on the foglights, well it IS a foglight as well.

Next thing you know, he's going to be posting threads on the SC forums asking as to why he can't find his foglight switch or why his foglights won't turn on LOL!

And based on the pictures he's provided, his car indeed does look like a '92-'94 year model...Those plastic high beams are unmistakable.

The differences are very subtle and almost un-noticable...but this is what a '95-'96 oem front bumper looks like (In case he doesn't believe me) notice the line going across the foglight and then discontinuing by the black lower front grill? Notice how much more shinier the highbeam is on my bumper since it's glass?



Here's the front bumper in full view...



These are what '95-'96 tailights are suppose to look like (Again, in case he doesn't believe me) Notice the S13 in the background?

Meh!...He probably realized that his car wasn't a '95 and is embarrassed about how he actually insisted that it was one, Only for us to prove him wrong.
