when you put on that 97+ face, did you need any special brackets or things of that nature from the 97+ car?

Have you relocated your wire harness that runs through the front fender yet? If you have not I would suggest doing that immediately.

Over all she looks clean, keep it up!

Thanks for the all the compliments guys. Yeah these wheels are actually just stock 16" solara wheels (6.5" 45offset)that i painted gold. They'll get me by until I get some aftermarket wheels but as of now... it looks very sunken in! lol I spent money on fixing all the problems like a cracked radiator, brakes, warped rotors etc.. so I'll just have to wait. there's actually 15mm h&r trak spacers that i already had on the rears but they can only help so much with the 6.5" narrow wheels. I wont be spending more for spacers because the wheels will go anyways.

Here's another angle to show how sunken in they look!

Lexiss_sc430, thanks for the heads up. I've already relocated the fender harness. I ziptied them above the fenderlining and it seems to be holding up...we'll just have to see. It started chewing up the wires and caused an electical nightmare! popped fuses, no signal lights, dead rear lights, no horn or hazard, and a light show with the car turned off! lol I had to fix all the chewed up wires and it wasnt fun. So i guess its a heads up to any SC owners like mentioned in previous fender wiring threads. Dont forget there's an airbag wire on the passenger side that should be relocated as well...

Boostedhat, you will need some 10mm bolts on top and clips to hold around the grille. As for the bottom, to hold the plastic gaurd is a series of screws and clips to tighten the screws. You should be able to get them from lexus or if you're creative..any autoparts store will do. There is a rubber strip that I highly recommend you go get to make a super clean install. It goes on top and covers up the bolts that hold the bumper up. lexus should have this as well.
