ok i'm wondering if this is the same 99 I passed on in Gaithersburg, MD, a year and a half ago. I almost sold my car to buy it but my buyer flaked and so I kept mine. Nice car Take it to the Fort Hunt meet this Sat.

I tried the on my IS3. Took me about a week to decide it just doesn't cut it. Had my bumper filled and painted.

Where did you buy your 99 since you live VA? Earlier this summer, i was planning to buy 99 sc300 exactly like yours but i check the records and got couple problems. I'm not if it the same car or not, but if you buy it around falls church, va, chances are it is the same. Let me know!

BTW what kit was it on your old car. Nice looking kit!

Nice upgrade man, I don't care how good your last one looked from the outside, a 99 + black interior is a big difference. I'm sure it feels alot newer, and once i went from tan to black SC interior i couldn't go back

I had a mint 95 with black interior 5spd, and my buddy has a 97 with black interior his car still feels alot newer inside and driving it..

Its JIC sides and rear, the front of the JIC knockoff was terrible so i cut the bottom lip off and had my body guy mold it to a 97+ front bumper. i thought it worked pretty well and looks pretty good.
