I found this list in another thread.... my question is, if I buy these parts will they fit right into the place of the existing parts, or is work necessary to make them fit?

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.

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?

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.

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.
