The supra front and SC front are very different. It would have to take custom work to get it to fit right.

The only plus I see doing this is if you can get a poly-urethan lip for a Supra, Since they don't make one for the SC. Other then that, yeah waste of time.

the reason why is b/c i don't see a lot of lips for the SC..yeah i've search etc, etc..and came up with some but still it doesn't look good and way to expensive, so that's why i was wondering maybe get an rubber or plastic lip for a supra and customized it to fit the SC's

You do NOT want plastic. Plastic cracks and breaks just like fibreglass kits. Stay from those. Which will be hard to do since they only make FRP or Fibreglass kits for the SC.

just like it says... a supra owner... not sc. good luck though you have a lot of work ahead of you if you go this route. i can get some pics of some supra's and sc's at my work side by side and you can decide for yourself.

The amount of money that it would cost to make a supra lip fit to a SC bumper would surpass the benifits in my opinion. Yea there are a lot more options when it comes to supra but what makes the supra stand out is its wide stance given from factory. The SC is a wide car too but when it comes towards the bottom of the bumper it curves down, again its a risk to hack up a lip and test it out. For my suggestion I would say find a factory sc400 lip and have it dipped in that Carbon fiber material (search online). If I get a chance on Tuesday I will take my supra bumper and place it next to my SC. I think I have a few lips laying around in my garge too. I will try to take a picture of one tie strapped to the front bumper of a 1997/1998 to show you where the body work would have to be performed. None the less it is a very unique idea and I would love to see one done
