Default Just purchased 1998 Lexus SC 400

I am new to club. Just wanted to make my first post. I just purchased a Rally Red 1998 SC 400. I got the car as the 3rd owner it was a CPO car before and it is in awesome shape it has 70k on it but looks new and i got it for a sweet price under 20k. I am hoping to do some mods on it very soon. I am looking to do a full exhaust system probably with Magnaflow's, I am looking at getting a intake for it from Injen, Also in the works a NOS Dry nitrous kit that should do it for power. I also want to finish of the look with some Chrome 18" Moda R6 wheels lowered with Eibachs and new shocks. I hope to have this all done within the next month. Here are some pics of the car as it sits untouched.

Very, very nice! Welcome to CL. Be sure to check the forum for CL meets in your area. I see you are in TX. We just had a Dallas meet a few weeks ago, and we will have another in the area again. Try to come next time we have one!

Thanks everyone so far I love the car its a week old to me now. I have already ordered the wheels hopefully they will show up next week. I installed new lights on the car yesterday the sylvania silverstars and some matching fog lights. Looking for a deal on some clear corner lenses for the front still then i will get those too. I have buffed out all the swirls and got a good coat of Zaino on it and now it shines great. Not sure what else to do this week to it since I can't seem to leave cars alone but thats all the fun right.
