I bought an OEM lip for my SC400, and wil be putting on 97+ skirts on it. Will post pics as soon as they're on and painted Platinum Silver. Should look good. Was inspired by MIGS car

If you are ever interested in trading your trunk for a 97+ mint condition (almost 100%) factory painted platinum silver trunk with working LED center light.... let me know. I am looking for a mint 92-96 trunk with the older spoiler, must be original paint and in good shape.

i'm going to have to pass on that, good sir. I hate the 97+ spoilers so much that i paid extra at the body shop to shave it off my 97 SC300 when I was getting body work done. Now its spoiler-less, and I love it.

btw, i love your car. one of the cleanest SC's I've ever seen, built with only the best parts. If you ever want to sell your Works sometime in the future, let me know. I'll start saving for them lol

This thread is great.
Reading through it has inspired me to re-think my plans. I purchased my 95' SC with an over the top body kit installed. It came with the stock parts too but i have to go back to get them. My plan was to automatically start snagging 97+ body parts and upgrade. I no longer want the 97+ nose. I am going to pick up the stock 95' nose from the seller as soon as I can get back up there.
I will now use 97+ sides, the stock 95' nose with a lip and probably keep the stock rear.

that's the way to go, man. its cheaper, and you can make it look great. Plus, everybody and their grandmother automatically goes for the 97+ conversion. Don't get me wrong, i have a 97 also and i love it, but not enough to convert my 96 to that look. Keep us posted on your progress.

I agree. I am in the process of installing a 92-96 spoiler to my 2000 SC.

Really sorry to disappoint but my car is quite far from cool. It also looks nothing like it does in the sig anymore.

But, sc400 front lip + 97+ sides/rear = ****.
