That's funny, your bumper is damaged in the same exact spot as mine.

You get a lot of car for the money with a Lexus SC, and they do make excellent daily drivers. Now take good care of her and keep that wallet handy for when the mod bug hits.

Just a small update, got the bumper together with some small screws since the epoxy didn't hold well. Then used some glaze coat and sanded, need to pick up some primer and hopefully that will fill in some of the small spots.

Probably going to try and install the leds I picked up tomorrow after I scuff them a little more. Also ordered lugs and hub centric rings for 350z wheels that I should be getting at the end of the week.

Nice to hear there is some more people in orange county with sc's I'v only seen two around me and one of them is a sc400 which is more common.

What stop and shop? I know there's one at a price chopper by me, other then that I go up to check out bear mountain when they have it.

Nothing serious right now, maybe a few standard things once I get to work more. I would like to boost it in the future.


@g4ebguy90 Do the 350z trans swap I heard its really nice.


Some more updates, Bumper is together and painted and threw some Leds in the cluster. The cluster looks like garbage in the picture but its a big improvement in person.

Just a quick update of how its sitting now, 225's all around on the tires.

Put it on the road this week, so i'v been getting used to driving it. Personally the exhaust is way to quite for me because im used to driving just on the sound of the engine. The difference between 2k and 3k isn't noticeable. sounds pretty good at the top end.

Anyone got input on mufflers that aren't a fortune and that won't get me exhaust tickets?

Wish I could afford it lol.

The X is pretty nice, but its really not as sporty as it should be.

I'v been seeing a couple of fujitsubos on some cars here, where can you find one for 450?
I was thinking about just buying some materials and a welder and work something out with my dad. I was estimating about 200 in parts then another 130 for the welder. Not many people actually post what it cost them for there exhausts.

I got my magnaflow 14829 mufflers with 4 inch tips shipped to me for 220, then spent 160 to have the exhaust shop weld me custom catback piping and install everything. 380 total and i couldn't be happier.
