Oh ok then my car is currently in the shop getting it's upper rear control arm replaced (dammit lol) but I've asked them to drop it a tiny bit more, so that there is no gap at all at the rear and about 10mm gap between the tyre and guard. Then I can take those fun photos you were asking for

Awesome looking car!!!! I always loved the SC and yours looks soo hottt!!!

I have to agree with others comments about the mufflers. Can't wait to see what your car looks like once you have put on the 97 rear.

Default Soarer?

What does the "SOARER" trunk emblem mean....is that an aftermarket custom package? I'm not aware of Lexus ever using this term.

What happened to the rear control arm? Do you have a 95-96 soarer?

Thanks! It sounds clean, but I cannot wait to go turbo so I can run w/o the silencers. Do you have pics of your car? Does your exhaust stick out as much as mine does?

Thanks for all of your comments.

Update: I just dropped my car off at SP Engineering in City of Industry for a clutch, and other minor upgrades. Has anyone seen John's SC? Green SC300 w/ bomex kit, blitz rims and GTE swap. Its VERY clean. They also have an IS and a GS in the back both in the process of doing the GTE swap. It was my first time at the shop and I really liked what I saw. Very cool people and eager to answer all my questions.
