Default My 1st Lex...'99 SC400 (56k oh noes...)

Signed up a few months back while looking for an SC. Picked this up 2 weeks ago. She's all stock outside of a new set of staggered 20's and new tint. Let me know what ya think. I don't plan on going too crazy with this. Maybe just some h.i.d.'s, cat/axle-back exhaust, drop.

What should I run as far as spacers. I'm not sure what the offsets are but I think if I used 5mm ones in the rear and 10/15mm ones in the front it'd look a little better.

Very clean! I don't think that I've ever seen that color before. What color is it? You just need to lower it and you'll be set. Again, nice ride!!

Thanks. I believe it's Golden Pearl/CK. I think the cars been resprayed though cause you can kinda tell in certain spots. I wanna lower it but i'm scurred. I don't wanna have to go through the hassle of rolling,pulling,shaving etc. I'm already starting to eat through the fender liner in the driver side wheel well at stock height. It's only a matter of time before I chew through that wire harness.

Add me to that list.

Nice 400, you should upgrade the brake calipers since you have massive rims. I dont really like the look of the paint calipers, painted calipers should be reversed for nice calipers like ls400,supra,porsche, that style. As for the 30 tires, i would be scared riding that, one big pot hole and bam bent rim.

Off topic, thank you for showing me where the temp needle should point. Idk what to do, my temp needle is slightly above your mark and idk if i want to go through the trouble of trying to get it oem perfect.

In my defense the calipers were painted when I got it. Again i've only had it 2 weeks so slowly i'll start doing things.

Painted calipers add character to any ride, thats just me tho. In response to Ryeno's comment, you might want 2 update your signature, ur with Lexus now. lol
