97 Conversion. Absorber?
#16
![Default](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Unfortunately, today I had a small brush by with a tree.
My '95 sc300 is hurting pretty bad on the front drivers side. I killed the bumper, crushed the drivers side headlight, broke the foglamp, and dented up the fender pretty nicely. I am hoping that the hood is fine, I don't want to replace it. Since I am going to have to pratically rebuild the front end of my car, I am thinking about just doing a 97+ conversion. I know that i will need the 97+ bumper and grill, i think i can probably modify my absorber to fit behind the new bumper. My question is are the fenders for all sc300's the same despite the body change. Also, what will I need to complete this front end conversion? Does anyone have any idea where I can get the parts? BrownDuckz said something about a 15% discount? That would be nice if I could take advantage of that. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Is there any gap between the 97 bumper and the 95 headlight's? Also, is there anything I need to complete the front end conversion other than the bumper cover, bumper absorber, grill, and foglights? Are the Amber corner lights universal? Also what did you guys do to wire the new foglights to the car?

No gap between 97 bumper and 95 headlights (all fit fine)
Part needed: All above parts plus Three screws and washers to hold the grill from behind (froom Home Depot)
Amber side lights are universal
95, 96 come with fog lights (Just replace with the Toyota plugs that will fit to 97 fog lights)
92-94 come with turn corner lights, you have to convert them to fog lights using by relay and some wire work.
Both of these can be found in here (SEARCH !!!!! )
