Default Why 92 SC so ugly?

Dont hate me or kill me for this one, but the Stock SC300 is ugly and i want to update the look without a ridiculous body kit.

I am open to body kits, but not the ricey types, and also not the cheap ones that break going over one bump.

Plz point me in right direction as you all dont want to see my ugly sc300 ruin your meets!

Pics would be awesome. thx

Adding the OEM front lip, some nice wheels, exhaust, and suspension can really change it up

The 92' was designed for 92' not 2011. If you think about it, the SC lasted for nearly 10 years before a complete redesign, many cars out there can't claim that.

I think the sc is timeless...thats why I ended up choosing it as a daily that would later have potential. What part(s) do you find to be ugly

if you haven't done so already.... definitely swap out the stock fan blade style wheels. those things make any car look ugly... even the SC.

97+ body kit is the best bang for buck IMO...

Why would you get an ugly car ?

I disagree with the ugly part.. My car gets looks and compliments all the time and mine is stock bodied 1993 SC300...

Go on craigslist and look for a 97 front end or look in a junkyard, Ebay too. Many places will have it. Searching helps too..

Welcome to CL too.

A full 97+ body kit is expensive from the dealer, you might find one for sale in the classifieds for a bargain.

The 97 kit and Shine Auto/Auto Couture look awesome. They'll give you the look that you want.
