Default Surpra headlight housings

I saw a posting about a SC400 with supra housings, is this something that can be done easily?

I'm guessing it's not a direct fit, can a bodyshop perform the simple alterations?

Anyone have a picture of it?

Maybe you can consider delining your SC lights? Ive seen members here do it and it looks nice.

If not, anything can be done if you're good at bodywork or know someone that is.

I'd look into smoothing the SC lights first tho

Good luck!!

A body shop could definetly do it, i don't think it would be "simple" though.

the supra lights have very different dimensions than the SC lights. Sure any body shop can do it bit it would look out of place IMO since the angle of curvature is so off.

i just think that the supra headlight is just too tall for our car, i mean there are way to make it fit, but it won't line up right with our bumper, like rscott said look out of place.

Almost any body shop can do it for a certain price.

So, yea, you can do it. While everybody else sits back and laughs.

i know it's frowned upon and would probably look like *** but if i had some extra cash and an extra SC, i'd put a supra front end on it. just to do it.

delining the SC headlights crossed my mind but it is too much work for how little it does.... in my opinion at least.

it's nice to know you care about what i do to a car you'll never see

if you couldn't read the humor in my statement, you're taking these words too seriously, everyone not just you. that's why i put the " ".
