Okay after much criticism and ideas from some of you guys here on CL, I finally agreed to do what some of you guys "suggested" Here are some pics...
1) Lip has been painted to match.
2) Sunroof visor has been removed.
The only thing that's kinda irking the hell out of me is that the lip is shinier than the rest of the car since the paint is brand new.

Based on the some criticism I've recieved...The '97+ rear bumper and panel extensions "could" be next to be slapped on...The question now is..."Where can I find a set locally at a decent price?" Still though, I ain't too sure about those parts yet, But we'll see...
P.S With a styling cue taken (More like "copied") from Peter, I've decided as well, to have the lip painted to match the rest of the car...Will post pics soon when the lip is done.

I own a '95 and '97. The '95 is sits around as a spare parts for my '97 these days, but I still love it.
Back when I was rolling around in it, it got much attention and praise despite being completely stock besides the Borbet Design E rims. Because of the SC's styling has aged so well, people that weren't very knowledgeable about our cars usually confused it as a 2000+ Lexus. I also prefer the spoiler of the older SC over the '97 redesign.

But one thing to be very considerate about is, since that visor may have been on there for a while, when you go to remove it...the visor may leave an abrasive mark in the pattern/shape of the visor itself and it's there permanently with no way to remove other than re-painting it the whole car...so you may just want to leave it on forever, unless of course, the abrasive scratch won't bother you.

the other day I went to my insurance office to fill out some loan paper work with my father. We walk back out to the car and right as we are about to get in the car ... guess what pulls up?.. The cleanest SC I have seen in my town. It was a 1996 Bordeaux Pearl SC300. MINT paint, mint interior. Lady was driving it in her upper 40's early 50's. I asked her the year (knew it was 1995/1996 instantly because of the bumper).. she said 96' and I asked if it was for sale, she gave me this nasty *** glare and said "NO!" and walked off.. Whatta *****! oh well. beautiful car!
