Lexus sc400 front end conversion

by **returnofthedack** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 8:12 pm

Im thinking about putting a new front end conversion for the 1999 lexus sc400. Basically if i left the headlamps that are currently there and put in the small circular headlamps and molded hood/grill etc to replicate, wouldnt i get what i want? Also..if i was to splice the circular headlamps with the existing headlamps wires, would the present headlamps not shine as bright?

not a bad idea, but thats going to involve plenty of custom fabrication for it to work.

the sc nose is fairly enlongated, while the solara is fairly flat if you look at the two bumpers.

interesting idea.

yeah, it'll be alot of work, but i'll be very interested to see how it turns out.

And you're not going to leave the lexus badging on though are you?

It would be nice! I love the SC! The Solara is just a MINI/Poor Man's SC hehehehehe

You'll need a lot of custom work so that everything fits. First you have to decide which headlights u want, which grille, etc etc before starting. It'll cost a lot, but it should be nice :agrue:

heh, yet oddly enough you could get an SC for less, since you can buy em older.

SC400 may be my next car.

yea after i did the front end conversion i was planning on getting "Soarer" badges, thats why the supralara appears at the bottom of my signature, research the Toyota Soarer, and for you that know what it is, its one bad ass car

Actually, I'd rather buy a Soarer . . . especially since they're RWD drifters!!!
