Oh wow, I really like this! Always loved that front, but wasn't sure how it would line up with the factory kit... something to consider... and if you don't mind me asking, what are your wheel specs? I like your fitment/stance. Just trying to figure out how low and wide I want to go...

This.

Also, you obviously don't have to answer but would you mind divulging what your insurance gave you for that damage? I'm very curious.

Seeing the new pics of your car and seeing just how well the oem side and rear can flow just right with an aftermarket front end just made me feel like a total jack *** for picking up an oem JDM '97+ front just recently LOL! My car is the same exact color as yours and you've pretty much given me a glimpse of what my SC can look like.

P.S You've have now inspired me into selling my OEM JDM '97+ front bumper LOL!

Yeh I said the same thing too, I decided to get the headlights now before the price goes up again....SMH

I took it to a bodyshop to do everything and from the feedback I got it was no issues or problems. Even fits better than the A/C Front and this came from the guy who installed it and he also had a A/c kit on one of his previous Sc's!

Car definitely looks sweet. New headlights FTW.
I had a Silver Sc before it might have been that one...but yea im still here just driving stock with no tints and A/c on blast....I do miss boost tho~~

Tnx man! I tried lol.....Well I took a gamble on just the front and it looks pretty good with the rest of the car. It does hang a little lower but I dont think its a real drastic mismatch. I will try to get some pics up later this week so you can see!

Preciate that, tnx! All I need now is the power to back it up LOL!

It was just a black faded hood i got from someone i knew lol! I was getting use to the red and black after awile tho...Glad you like it, I will try to get more pics later this week!

Tnx! That says alot coming from you!!!!! Yeh I will deff be there, are we going to see the unveiling of the WICKED_SC?? When you getting it back from the shop???

Im not sure what it is, I wondered myself.....I think its the rubber in the middle b/c the same one was used???

The lights were $316 from the Lexus of Pembroke Pines Trade motion Site:

Oh wow thats crazy! Is there a difference with the JDM 97+ Front??? Im sure if you go this route you can sell the kit and get a complete Shine kit if you wanted! What year is your SC? pre 97??

P.S. Red Sc's are my favorite color as well.....took me 3 years to find this one!!!

Everyone else seem to like it as well, I seen a few other Sc's on here with just the front so that gave me the idea....I will try later in the weeks to get more pics up!

Looks great to me. It probably doesn't hang much lower than a wise, big win, or replica lip. I bet it looks great in person. I'd get this but my driveway has a deep slope and I've heard that these kits can easily crack. When there are car meets I have to park my SC on the street and install the front lip, then come home and take it off so I can park back in my driveway lol.
