well all ive done to my car really is add rims.

But when the times comes and hopefulyl soon, im going with some tasteful mods---like 97 kit and perhaps a sligth drop.

I would love to add a bit of hp somehow buit its not really that important to me as my 400 has enough power for my liking .

I guess im going for class over sass.

as of right now, all of my mods have been aesthetic/Restoration ...because my SC looked like **** when i bought it and i just wanted to bring it up to par.

i dont really care who likes my aesthetics, because i usually don't like theirs anyway.

my ultimate goal has always been: improve Performance across the board.

I only have a limited amount of money right now as a brokeass college student, so right now, it's all class; once I get the funds, it'll be sass

I agree with the opinions on class, and speed,but i think lexus as a brand tends to fill both fields while leaving just enough for owners to fill their own imaginations.

I want balance! I want it to have (My goal for right now) between 450-480HP and have a stunning interior, I know my plans performance wise but not sure about interior quite yet, But I want something with class I can turn heads with and have a nasty bite with a nasty bark and be able to look at it and say 'damn my blood, sweat, tears, money, an time really paid off!

Funny that I'm just reading this thread. I'm thinking about making a full 180 on my car and going into a different direction. I'm starting to hate my VIP look and want to create a nice, street car. So, this next year I'll be concentrating on getting a new set of wheels, finishing my 97+ conversion, full body work and paint/wrap, NA-T, replacing every bushing, tie rod, motor mount etc. I already had a full 90k Toyota engine service done.

We have owned our 92sc400 for the last 15yrs. It is all original,no mods.We feel it is the best of both worlds(speed&beauty).This car was definitely years ahead of it's time!

I have every intention of keeping this car as clean as possible, I'm actually aiming for a VIP look but as simple as it can be in every way but as functional as possible as well. SC400TT is the only person here that inspired me to, maybe, one day, if allowed financially, push the car's engineering to it's limits but still maintain that classy sassy *** look it has.

well i went and bought my sc400 yesterday due to its luxury but also because it has more power than my old car MK3 supra. almost double the power. so realistically i have both of what i wanted in one good priced car.
also silver colour is much better than my burgendy MK3

Well, the class part is built in since it is a Lexus. My car also has sass in that it will blow smoke in your face like a drunk instigating a bar fight I really need to fix that...
