I have a 1996 SC400 and I was looking into purchasing this kit and I was wondering on fitment. My big concern are the side skirts and front bumper. Do they direct bolt onto the car or will I need someone to do a few mods in order to make this work. Reason being is that 3yrs ago I bought a no no no knock off and I cant wait to tear it off the car now. It needed so much work just to match up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The fitment isn't OEM, that's for sure. It's really not bad though. I had problems with the rear bumper more-so than the sideskirts. The front bumper fits really well for me though. Overall, if you've installed bodykits before, it doesn't take a lot of work to get the kit looking nice.

The fitment of my kit out of the box was not too bad at all. I just had to shave the inner portion of sideskirts very slightly. The front and rear pieces required no modification, bolted right up.

Dont mean to steal your thread but where do ya'll puchased your kits from? And, how much did it cost ya'll? I seen a place that sells them but they run a little over 3G's, does that sound right? $1,500, maybe $2,000 I'lll spend on a kit but 3G's is a little to much.

That's a rip off...check Carson Toyota...there's a group buy for abt $1800 plus shipping. As the value of our dollar goes down, the cost of the kits go up! If we start restimulating the economy here, the cost of the kits will come back down in price.

The picture above by the water is my car. But the kit on it is a NO NO knock off. To anyone reading this DONT EVER BUY A KNOCK OFF. Do it right the first time, I found out the hard way. I want to swap the sides and front bumper and goto Auto Couture. I'll also need the 97+ door moldings. The group buy on this can be found in the search field. TTSUKAMOTO thanks for the feedback on the fitment. Do you have any pics? Does anyone on here have a Red Auto Couture SC300/400 ?
