I've been searching for the past 3-4 days now and i cannot absolutly find anything. Local junk yards dont have anything in sight, online no one makes them aftermarket. The only choice left is to pay 200+ dollars for a new one?
I mean i can understand i cant find foglights and grill but bumper cover?
any help would be apriciated or i would just have to bent over again and call a lexus dealer, where i just got a set of 97 tails.

 

$200 is nothing. You'll pay that much for a new Ford bumper cover.

 

yeah but you can also buy an aftermarket bumper cover for a ford. Anyways it is what it is i guess, anyone got the part # for the cover, grill and fogs? i've seen a site somwhere where it has all that listed but i dont remember now.

 

Look for the thread on the group buy for 97+ conversion pieces.

 

thanks i found it, i cant belive theres no parts nationwide at junk yeard these cars cant be that rare, but i guess they are lol

 

Yea, it is tough to find them, but be patient, a deal will come. I waited maybe 2-3 months before a local sc owner sold his for $190 (prepped, ready for paint).

 

thanks, well i'm def on a look out now, not as hard of a look out i have been one for the past few days, my head feels like its about to explode from all the hours i spend one the web searching. The SC is going for paint in 2-4weeks so i'll keep my eyes open.

 

LOL... welcome to lexus buddy

 

Yeah there are many people that constantly keep an eye out over in the SC300/400 classifieds section for 97 Conversion parts. Usually those things sell like hotcakes! You can either wait for one to come up for sale (which happens every once in a blue moon) or you can jump in on that group buy and order one from the dealer. I got mine fresh from the dealer because I got tired of waiting. And plus shipping kills you so you're better off paying the extra money for a new dealer bumper. Good luck on your search!

 

I went with a new dealer bumper. You will not regret it. I have no other 97+ parts (skirts, rear bumper, tails, fogs, spoiler, etc). However, I think the car look great: many times better than with my lipless 96 bumper.

I would have to stumble across other 97+ parts for almost free to justify purchasing them, as -in my opinion- the car is looking great and the mods to the exterior just don't make sense financially.

 

apriciate it guys, i'm looking at $700 for the whole front end conversion, i mean, i cant justify that but hey whatever its just looks a million times better IMO, but if i can find it cheaper why not

 

here is a website for you and everybody else http://www.ll0l.com/detail.php?OemNu...14&MODEL=SC300

 

That website says "THIS IS NOT A BUSINESS" in caps in the upper right corner. Just a note...

 

Where did you get that price? Arnt they $300 from the dealer?

 

yeah thats my bad, i thought i saw it for 200 but after looking at it again its 300
