97 Front End Upgrade Details
Hi guys,
Ready to do the conversion since my veilside front bumper is messed up.
BTW I have it for sale for cheap if anyone wants to repair the fiberglass.
Did some searching and see a lot of people buy their front end from Carson toyota. Is this the cheapest place? Also what about the foglights and grille where is the cheapest place to get them from? What are their prices?
I read I can trim the foam and reuse that. Are there any other parts I'll need to order besides the front bumper, fogs and grille?
Just one last check before I order it this week.
Thanks

You're in Florida, so I guess Lexus of Pembroke Pines would be much better for you to use than Carson Toyota.
$331 for the cover.

Carson does have these bumpers for sale at a very reasonable price. Now I say it is reasonable because I got mine at cost from Lexus of Roseville. So its either them or you'll need to find someone with a resale account at Lexus. As for the foam, most people dont reuse it but if you wish to reuse it you can simply trim it to fit as stated above. So now you've got your bumper, you've got your grille and fogs. You might want to pick up a few of those extra plastic self tap screws that are located under the headlights so the bumper is more secure. Good luck!

I know more about the SC in my pinky than you do in your damn body. Don't assume anything. If you don't have anything nice to say, hit me up via PM. This is one of the reasons why so many OG's don't respond anymore.

I know how this forum works, bored cocky people post and tell you to search and that you are a retard, instead of being helpful to a new member and making the Lexus ownership experience more enjoyable. Im not trying to flex any muscle this isnt a competition, I dont know anything about these cars, Ive only had an auto supra tt and this is a 5 speed NA sc300...but I have had a lot of cars vipers, many vettes, 3d gen rx7s, etc etc and been on the other forums and met a lot of these car people in person. NONE have ever been as ****ty as this one. The members of this forum are rougher than some gangs Ive seen on tv

i don't there is anything wrong and "rough" and insulting with what AutoCoutureSC said.. In fact he said it quite politely.. and he never said that you were a retard.. so cool it..
