I just got a new front bumper on tonight thanks to Black_SC, and I'm excited at how much better the car looks. I thought I'd share a few pics of the car when I got it vs. how it looks now, it's come a long way.

When I first got it, with a busted rear bumper, broken driver's side tail, and exhaust missing one tip:


Here's the rear now, with the smoked tails, new rear bumper, and HKS exhaust:


The front of the car when I first got it with unpainted and broken body kit bumper that didn't flow well with the rest of the car:


I took that off in a matter of days and went back to get the messed up front bumper that he had taken off:


And finally tonight, the new front bumper:


The car still needs a new hood, and a new trunk would be nice, but I'm so happy with it now compared to how it used to be.

good job, SC's are getting up there in age and this is probably going to be a more common sight in the near future cause were running out of clean ones from accidents and abuse

Thanks for the kind words guys. CL has been a huge help to me since I first got this car.

Update! I searched for a while and couldn't find another car to actually use these wheels (which isn't surprising, because it's a Lexus, and most people go big), but I picked up a set of twin turbo Z wheels w/tires from a friend for about what I'd pay to put new tires on my stockers.

16x7.5 in the front, 225/45/16
16x8.5 in the rear, 245/45/16 (though you can go bigger)



We all know how ridiculously sunken in the stock wheels are, which is why I'm so pleased with this:



They fit better on my car than they did on his '91 Z. And here's another wonderful cell phone picture of the car with the new wheels:



Not only did I gain 4 inches of wheel in the back and a flush wheel, but the wider rears with tires are actually very noticeably lighter than the stock 15x6 with 205/50/15's on them. I figure now both Lexus and Z guys will be mad I have the wheels on my car, but they were cheap and I like them.

Here's a better picture that my roommate took of my car the other day:



There's a nick in the lens, there's not a huge spot on my door.
