Default New owner of a 98 SC

Hi I am a new lexus owner and wanted to introduce myself. I recently purchased a 98 SC300 Auto with 180k miles. It has only one problem when you incline driver seat back and rest on it it falls back down. Other than that everything works ac,heat,radio,CD changer. Has new timing belt no oil leaks perfect running engine, with a silky smooth transmission. No check engine light or other warnings lights when car is running. I just needs some tires but that's nothing. It was hit in the back once and bumper was replaced with a pre 97 one, and has a dent around the right rear fender. It was just $2,500 so I purchased it. Front seats could use some changing. It was a daily driven car. 1 hour trip to bring it home ran perfect and was getting 24 mpg highway.

Our cars are like twins. I would like a nice daily driver that is not overly modded. I want to be subtle with the mods. Maybe a nice lip kit would like to upgrade brakes. Coilovers lowering it 1 to 1 1/2inch. Mostly mods that cant be noticed TRD supra strut bar, suprastick with paddle shifters, tt rims. Maybe mess with something like apexi neo. I dont race cars anymore I want a smooth and comfortable ride.
