Anyone know this body kit?

[Jegz]

This is my soarer. I recently got into an accident on saturday night. While I was on Robson, an X5 reversed into my car. Damage is pretty bad and I went to No1 Collision for an estimate, and said its not repairable. So now I need a front bumper like the one I have. I thought this was the Vertext kit but it isnt. All the ones I seen on the soarer/sc400 are similar but they have the slit in the middle. I want the exact one . Anyone know this?

scroll down to the Body Kits section.
It's missing a bunch of them though. Like Auto Couture and stuff.
But, yours isn't Auto Couture by a long shot.

No.


The Vertex kit looks nothing like that kit for one. Second, the Vertex kit, like any other SC3/400/Soarer kit that actually looks good, used the 97+ front end as a base.

Note the Fog lights (bottom). Those are exclusive to the 97+ SC/3/400/Soarer. Same with the "grill". The side door mouldings for the sideskirts are also different, same with the bumper, tails, wing, and gated shifter + the VVT-i versions of the newer motors. (2JZ/1UZ)

In short: He has the 92-96 Fog/Corner lamps. The SC came with Corner lamps in 92-94. In 95 they switched the housing itself and turned them into actual fogs lights. Then came the 97 Fogs.

The only kit that doesn't use any of the stock corner/fogs is the Origin Kit.


The Vertex kit is also the only Kit you see on the Local SC/Soarers.
I have, possibly the only Local Auto Couture/Shine Kit


/shameless plug.

Pretty sure the wilder kit would be hell to find. Guess i would have to go for the Vortex . Can the 92-96 models still be used as fogs?

The Vortex is the Vertex Kit.

Depending on what year your Soarer is, the internals are different.
92-94 = Corner Lamps. They just turn on and do nothing other than being on and have light directed to corners.

95-56 Are Fog Lights that actually project light forward and to the side.

And if you're going for that kit.. no..you can't use the early gen Fog/Corner lamps.
You need the OEM 97+ Fog lights which go for about $380 for brand new units. Used ones are about $2xx but they get bought in less than a few days on the market.

THe cheap way is to use the Dodge Intrepid Fog Lights. They're the same shape, but you need to trim some shit off of it, and they look way uglier than the OEM units. They also don't mount flush with the bumper like the OEM units do.

Note how the OEM units mount FLUSH




Interpid units do not. They also have the Alignment screw palced in the front which ruins the look.



The second pic of the Intreipid fogs: The guy modified them to mount flush-er. They're like $150 though.

Anyways: Some guy in Cali that's in Westslide Connection.


The info I posted this thread probably saved any SC3/4/Soarer owners the first 2 weeks of searching Club Lexus for info.
For good Measure:
BFI Intake for any SC3/4/Soarer. Makes more power than open filter unless you run a big single. Also costs a whopping $3. or free depending on how you do it.
Use OEM plugs. Wires don't do anything until you make real power.
2.5" exhaust if you're running Duals.
DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT Clean your MAF with intake cleaner. It's Harman (something). Does not require cleaning. You're supposed to replace it if it EVER breaks.
Low power? smoking exhaust? Swap your ECU and see results.
Trac Light goes on if your secondary 02 sensors are dead. Also happens if theres air in the actuator. Open the engine bay, under the red cap, unscrew the bleeder. Turn your car on. Close it after 5 minutes. Basically.

ALL Drivetrain/Suspension parts for MK4 Supras work on Soarers sc3/400's and vice versa. Sway bars for the SC require Supra rear swaybar mounts. The Daizen units do not, but they're ridiculously huge and pointless.
Get Supra Front Lower control arms if you hear clunking in your steering, or just torque down every bolt in your front suspension until it breaks.
Subframe spacers require some trimming on the (upper?) spacers. Just find someone with a lathe and cut out the middle.

And before you have anymore questions:
Clublexus.com
They're search Nazi's.. so search before posting.

Yeah I meant Vertex lol. The intrepid fogs dont look that bad haha. Would it be impossible for the 97+ bumpers to fit in my 93? Im still thinking whether to go No 1 Collision or Auto Mind Collision for the front bumper fitment and repainting. Theyre both close to my house. Hmmmmm

[SpuGen]

97 Bumpers go right on.

Only difference:
Fogs + Grille + Side door mouldings.
You NEED these to have it look right.

Bodykits are easy to fit. I did my own bodywork. All that was required was some 3m painters tape, and a dremel.
The tape was because I was doing it by myself with zero help. I needed something to hold shit in place while drilling.

what is this side door mouldings..
