Its always recommended but its not required. If you are low enough for the tire to rub on bumps or turns then yes. If it ends up rubbing through the plastic and starts cutting into the harness you'll have a LOT of wiring to fix, its NOT fun.

Simply because i had no other option at the time.
I had a 91 Soarer for parts.
Where i live i can not just get a replacement facelift front bumper.
My only option in my country is get a new one from lexus for about 900euro.
I think that is a crazy amount for 1 unpainted bumper.
And i just cant find one for a normal price.

So i made the car as good and fresh as i could possibly get it first.
But i wil always be on the lookout for the right bumper .

regards.

Are those TSW Zolders? I was admiring a set for sale nearby this week, thinking how perfect they would look on the SC, except that they're the wrong bolt pattern and would stick out too far in front with an adapter/spacer. Dark gold with mirror lip. Looks just like yours.
