well here it is...I finally got it back from the paint shop, they were a little off with the color so i made em paint it again...i left my car there for a little less than a week, when i got it back, it was as dirty as the stuff between my toes also found a few little scratches, not really noticeable unless you're **** like me...they tried to touch up a scratch with a glob of paint...

before:


now:










hangin in the garage with my bro




total was 1850 including paint...good quality paint...pretty good paint job...poopy respect for the cars they work on, but you get what you pay for right...oh ya i washed, polished and waxed her the fogs are behind my seats im waiting to get the connectors mmm

 

SEXYYYY, i cant wait to paint mine! that first rock chip or scratch on that new paint will make you wanna cry, but stuff happens.

 

It ain't factory paint, for less than $2k, you better send them an Xmas card for the better than average work.

Looks nice.

 

thanks...they used PPG...$550 for the whole job

 

include a gift with that Xmas card

 

sweet ride. and ppg is the closest to factory (matching wise) paint, well in my experiences anyways.

 

WOW! what a major difference

 

That looks 123.4 times better! Of course, I'm partial to red...
I'd recommend getting a clear bra (after the paint cures), you don't want that $1800 paint job to go to chippy waste on the highways. Keep that new paint looking new for years!

 

Makes me miss mine.. I had a red '95. Color code 3L2!
Looks great though. The price you paid for that paintjob is a friggin STEAL!! Did you do all the prepwork or did they?

 

Looks very good. The 97 upgrade really makes the SC look a million times better.........

 

I wanna do the conversion. Did you just buy the front bumper or did you purchase all the bumper supports as well?

 

For the front, you need:

Front bumper
Grille
Foglights
You need the front bumper foam support as well I believe, they're a different shape than the 92-96.

 

Some may disagree but after getting the teflon paint coating put on my Tundra.... WOW! not a single rock chip! and if there are any, they will respray it for free Look into that before you drive it TOO much! it will help fight off those dirty rocks

 

they did everything i didnt have to lift a finger! I did ask em if i could come back to install it...i felt better after knowing the screws were all nice and tite




I just had to buy the bumpers...all you need is here http://www.intellexual.net/faq.html#061
but i think the rocker panel clips are different...I got the clips using the part number on there but they dont work anywhere, so i went back to lexus and had em print out the details for the sideskirts...im still trying to get the right clips, right now its held on my some clips i found

 

Sweet conversion!
I thought that lexus doesn't sell just the plug?
I used my original wire (pre 97) harness for the 97+ fog lights, I just cut a piece (clip) out.
I'm not sure about the 97+ bumpers but on my Auto Couture Kit, I just shaved some of the foam pieces and it fit perfectly. I had a pre 97.
Just trying to help and save you guys some money.
