Default Cheap looks

Hi everyone.. i have owned a soarer for a month now and i gota say there a very nice car... mines a SC400 and the only thing i dont like are the mags they have to be the worst i have ever seen... anyway.. i was wondering. if everyone would like to share pictures and ideas on things to make ur car look better... i myself have spent 20 dollars on paint and have panted parts in the engine bay and i can tell u for 20 bucks it has made a massive improvment. mostly when i pop the hood to show some mates or anyone at all ... i havent got pics just yet... but will get some very very shortly... ill post em asap..

be cool

Sorry, I don't mean to derail this thread, but i figure i've got a QUICK question but don't want to start anew. Ive done a search, and can only find results regarding rear emblems. Is the front L on a 94 body style SC3 just glued on, or does it too have a hole under it?

Front lip i got it here in classified section and skirts i got from guy in va beach, we met at a drifting event and he was like "i have some skirts i am trying to get rid of" , i asked him "how much", he asked "how much you want for it", i said "$40" and he said "sold" . rear bumper lip i got it off ebay, fits pretty good, as you can see, i dont like spending money on aero/body kits, most of my money goes into suspension first.

those are incredible deals... I need a front lip badly for my sc4 because mine was missing when I bought it. I'm not about to drop 3-400 for one new.
