Where do I begin.
Sard carbon fiber front bumper free since my brother in law hates body kits.
Vis carbon fiber hood free since his car was red
400 jic coilovers since mr john tran wanted hks
18X10 Blitz 03 rims for 700 with 2 sets of tires since they didn't fit my friends evo.

The list goes on. Thank you club lexus for having sweet deals sometimes.

96' SC300 with 127k miles. Dark green exterior, tan interior. Auto. Literally zero issues to report. Interior 9/10, exterior 10/10. All work documented at Lexus dealer since 50k miles. $3000. I see all these deals and suddenly I'm not so proud I have yet to see the same year/condition SC300 go for this cheap though, so I'm extremely happy nonetheless.

I have the very set up on my bike. Along with bi-xenon capability, FX-R's have crisp cutoff with great intensity in light spread. I'm sure you'll love them.

Of course, I had to pay for mine. Awesome deal!
