Default My lexus picture thread

So, i have been on the forums for a about 2 years now and realized that i dont have a thread to keep up with my progress, or something for me to revert back to in the future. some of you my recongnize some of the pics that i post. i will be updating this thread quite often.
I drive a 95 sc400, and i bought it with 159k on the clock, clean title and was repainted about 4.5 years ago.
Here is a pic when i first bought her. this is not a build thread since i wont be doing any motor work. i do have plans for a 1j swap but that wont be for another 3-5 years, but once it happens ill transfer this to the build thread section

Then came the black emblems, i would suggest that you use the glossifier as well. it gives the emblems a much cleaner look

Then exhaust was the next thing that was done. my setup was deleted resonators and beluga racing muffler. they look exactly like the M2 axle back mufflers as well

I'll be out in DFW around Memorial Day. Just a quick layover, otherwise I'd say hi. Nice ride, brother!

Looking good mane. Keep the updates coming. If a lot more work is done, I might have to move it to the build thread section.

Default paint to match

Just finished this earlier today. Paint to match fog\corning lights. The story is when i bought my car the lights didnt work and i didnt really like how far apart the lights are, so i decided to paint them the same color as the car. its a mod that i dont see ppl do as much on the SC as far as painting to match them
