Love what you've done! Everything looks great. Have you considered going for the soarer rear badges and a soarer 1uzfe engine cover for the mad tyte JDM ness?

[TWM Performance]

Very tasteful! Looks spectacular.

Looks great minus the early front bumper and fogs. 2000 sc400 is a rare beast, I love my 2000 sc300. I also wrapped my wood grain in brushed aluminum a couple years back.. looks much more modern.

[Mishav]

Thank u ! I have considered that but i like the usdm look most.
Ad the time i had a 91 soarer as a donor car so i took al of the good parts out of that and used it for the SC400.

Great work. Shame you went to a S1 front bar though.

I have never seen a 1U SC that still had the engine cover...

Thats exactly what i do not like about my car. I am stil in the search for a 97+ front bumper but over here the Lexus sc is rare due to they have never been sold in my country. So a 97+ is next to inpossible. Parts are simply not available. But i wil get one in the end! Thanks for your reply.

Haha thank u ! that front bar is temporary i wanted to enjoy the car and get some miles on her before winter arrived. After building her for 2 years. I bought her wrecked with us illenois papers.

Update time!!

I havent updated in quite some time so here goes.

Led license plate lighting.



Replaced a non functioning sensor. Bank 1 sensor 2.



Removed the window tint because of the poor quality + the sc got factory tinted windows.



Did some miles on the car until i was done with the truck ride hight.



I have been looking for a 97+ facelift front bumper for over 3 years but its hopeless in europe.In the end i ordered a brand new one @ the local dealership.



Up next the BC coillovers .





Transformed the car.





Arranged the first ever dutch sc/soarer meetup.



6000k xenon.



Enjoyd the first meets with the car.









Roling shots .

TT circuit Assen. Japfest with some friends.





Found a clean set of foglights .

Cannot wait to get it painted.

Also bought a new daily driver.

01 BMW E46 touring 320i 5speed. 2.2L (M54) 170pk






Dropped the bumper of to the paintshop.
The foglights and cornerlights get polished.

Good job buddy! Looking fresh.

Very very cool, most would have scrapped that car after the crash but you really managed to bring that thing back and make it better than ever. I was confused at first because I saw the soarer badges and I guessed I always assumed the soarers only came with 1Jz's in japan. Really love the interior on Sc's post 97 my 92's interior is trash compared to yours.
