Personally i think they look awesome. Some people think that they are too big, but i think it fits just right with the big rear of our cars. i dont think it looks right with out a body kit, cause you could see too much of the mufflers. And right now the sound of it is very stock. i only have the rear section right now, and it it really quiet.

ill post some pics of it soon, i need to take better pics

Once we get more "typical" Lexus owners on here, you'll see that the younger crowd is really a much smaller owner base then what's currently represented here....

Agree...When I go into the dealership here, I feel really young and I am 26. All the people rolling up in the service department are all 45+ yrs old.

I'm 22 and bought my SC when I was 20.. been a computer freak since I was 6 years old coding in BASIC on an Atari XE with a 5.25" drive. Makes for a good career it seems
I want a sticker that says "I didn't finish college but I still got a better car than you did"

Sorry about that, I typed it fast and didn't realize I put 300 instead of 400.

Also my dad got an aurora that the guy buys a new one every year with every single option! He drives about 20k miles a year maybe a little more and doesn't like the high mileage aspect, so he trades them in and my dad knows the dealership so he got a good deal on it I must you would never think it was an OLDS.

im only 17, my mom works for a doctor who simply had "too many cars" and maybe a bit too much money also. He basically gave it away to me when i got my license for an offer i couldnt refuse...1992 one owner...can't pass it up. Of course the insurance here in jersey doesnt help things much. It was quite the car to have for my first car, i think i might have set myself up for a disappointment when i actually have to purchase my own car cause i'll probably end up in a kia rio!

God ya know I am getting old but had some fun:
1960 Cadillac hearse (first ride should be same as last)
1965 Pontiac GTO 389 tri-power with factory ram air and many go fast goodies - work at Pontiac dealer.
Offered a real 1964 289 Cobra but couldn’t come up with the $6K (dumb ***)
1957 Jaguar XK150 roadster (the most fun car of all to drive)
1949 Plymouth black with chrome reverse and Mickey Thompson
1952 Jaguar XK120 fixed head coupe, project car never finished.
1963 Jaguar MK II
1970 Jaguar E-type (very fast, thanks to Grand Turismo Jaguar)
1974 Jensen-Healey (wrecked -lost leg-damn Palms’ don’t move)
1960 MGA 1600 roadster (rolled- broke 5 ribs-damn in hospital again)
Ok no more stick shifts, too tempting and my friends won’t let buy another English car!
1999 Lexus SC 400 the smoothest ride and with a little work it’ll be fast too. Check obituaries for results…

Wow SRQ, you've owned a lot of nice cars, but you passed up a Cobra for $6k?!? Man...

Did you say you lost your leg in the Jensen Healey? :eek:

Yeah say no more about the blue with white stripes - Cobra…
Was in 1969 and 6K was a lot and I’m still biting my butt over that one.
Did lose the right leg from just above the knee down, that Lotus 4 cyl. engine came right into the drivers’ side well. That’s the trouble in finding the edge of performance, it’s tuff getting back!
But ya can’t keep a real fool from figuring out how to modify a MG so he can drive the stick shift - that worked out well!
By the way I’m turning 52 too soon.

Thanks
Ya can’t change the spots on a leopard.
The good new was I took most all the damage myself, well except for the metal pieces parts. Actually I’m a good driver, SCCA Mid Ohio. The Jensen-Healey was 35 MPH fluke rear suspension broke. The MGA was fog related with a lot of stupidity added. Neither had seat belts.
