SKperformance Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 WHat are you trying to do? Make a 92 look like a 97 ? If so it will not work.
againstalloddz786 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Posted July 25, 2005 No.. I'm not trying to make it look exactly like a 97... but I do want to make some minor upgrades. For example, let's say I want to upgrade the headlights, and add the foglights... would these things fit right in?
SKperformance Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 they are 2 totally different cars. If you want the 97 look you are going to have to buy a 97-01
damesta Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Are you talking about sc's or es's? As far as I know, all the sc parts will bolt straight on, its not a totally different car, its the same car with some minor cosmetic changes, just updated bumpers, lights, etc.
againstalloddz786 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Posted July 25, 2005 So if I buy the newer model headlights, tail lights, etc.. they will fit right in? Cool. As you can tell, I don't know jack about cars, so thanks for helping and bearing with me. I have another question... I read that they replaced the turn signal or something with foglights... I tried comparing newer and older SC cars and couldn't tell the difference. What exactly are they talking about?
TMaxxTim Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 they are 2 totally different cars.If you want the 97 look you are going to have to buy a 97-01 ← Are you talking about the ES's or did you click on the wrong forum SK...because the SC is completely upgradable. There is loads of information. You can completely update the exterior to look like a 97-2000. I'm not sure about the steering wheel, I think you can, however it costs a lot to upgrade that part. The exterior body parts are completely bolt on. I don't think you need the rocker panels. What people usually uby is the front bumper, sideskirts, and rear bumper, and taillights. The headlights I think are a different model number, but they are the same thing I believe, either way getting new headlights seems to be something everybody wants for these SC's. However headlights do not differ in design from pre 97 to post 97. The gauge cluster is not upgradable,however OLT can redo the lighting if yours is going out. The gated shifter availiable in the 98's and up is not upgradable without a considerable amount of work and is just not worth it. Search and you'll find some more information on the 97-2000 look.
againstalloddz786 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Posted July 25, 2005 ^^^^ THANKS A LOT... that's the info I was looking for. Do you know anything about the "fog lights replacing corner lights" in newer models? I keep looking at new/old SC models and can't find the what they're talking about...
againstalloddz786 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Posted July 25, 2005 Man at first I was kinda upset that my dad bought me a 92... but the fact that you can spend a reasonable amount of money on it to make it look almost a decade newer is amazing.
Sadistic Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Another satisfied Lexus owner.. I love Lexus! :whistles: Sorry, my first spam tangent. I wish I could get the 97 bumper, without the round foglights, I just don't like those, but for some reason I like the little grill. I have yet to see a 97+ and 92 sitting next to each other to see what the real difference is between the rear bumper.
againstalloddz786 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Posted July 25, 2005 so the foglights are part of the bumper and not the headlights? for some reason i'm so confused about this whole foglight/corner lamp thing... what has changed and where has the change taken place
SKperformance Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 An sc makes alot more sense in the change over.
