Default body version: pre-97 ---> 97+

hey guys! I have a black 93 sc300 and i REALLY want to convert my body style to the new 97+ style. Has anyone already tried it? If so, what problems did you encounter? Does anyone foresee other problems with factory parts? The factory will sell me a front and sides, but they don't quote a rear skirt peice! why? how can i get one? once i buy a kit, how much will it cost me to paint and install? Thanks alot!

This has been discussed previously. Please search through the forums for more detailed information. But yes it can be done.

You can see with my car (92') that many things are interchangable between the newer ones. I have the 96' taillights & the 97+ side skirts/moldings.

Front bumpers shouldn't be a problem either, you might encounter a gap between your high beams because I think they made it slightly different in the newer years. But it can be modified to fit nicely!

I can confirm that, i'm using the newer bumper with the oe '95 high beams, took a little time to get them to come flush.
