Thanks, man. I’m pleased to realize I have the bumper I would prefer on mine (1992-1994). Looks good with the Intercooler and piping poking through the bottom.
That was very informative! I didn't know the bumpers had such nuances. 95 front is my favorite front, I like the lines the best. Thanks for breaking this down Mikkel!
@@Mikkelism the sc to me is better cars. I have a lexus sc300 with a 2jzgte vvti swap 5 speed manual and 3 1/2 exhaust sling turbo aem infinity standalone coilover and a lot more .and I love it
TH-cam Recommend you to me and WOW I'm loving this How did you do your Front Bumper/Grill? Love the Awesome Brand New look. It's like if Lexus Made the SC in 2012+++
Thank you Mike. I made the new front by using photoshop, and then taking those methods into real life of what goes where. Then understanding the oem front on both and how they fit to form.
I really like the look of the 95-96 front with the 97+ lower half. I'd love to attempt it if it wasn't so hard to get a 97+ bumper to begin with lol. Great work Mikkel, I've definitely got some ideas moving forward.
Just found the channel I thought I was already subscribed but I am now bro. One thing, first off that voice is soothing as fuck. Secondly maybe no chain on the next video or move the mic? Kinda clunky audio on this one.
Another great video! I am a fan of the 95-96 bumper, but my reasons are a little petty. Since the 97 bumpers are harder to find in my area I have trained myself not to like them as much. 😔
@@TONELOWthaWRITER Yes, the 97+ bumper is abiut an inch wider. However it's easier to take material away, than add material. We're you able to get it to fit?
My question is what are your thoughts on the KBD front bumper kits (saw them on Car is less than $500.00 + $100 ship)? I have a 97+ and tow truck ripped my front bumper off so not repairable. Like you said hard to find OEM but it is my first choice because already have oval fogs and they too are expensive. The closest replacement I have seen is the 1999 KID with grill. Not the same as you know but do you have any knowledge on installing problems? No body shops will touch the Modello fronts out of Vegas here in Baton Rouge, LA.
@@tzxlyd3828 My thoughts on KBD: I like how Irving (owner) brings somethjng to the SC community. It'd made out of polyurethane and is durable. However, if you're looking for a personal review, I have never owned any of his products to properly do so. You say your bumper is ripped off and irreparable. What makes it irreparable? It's PUR plastic, there is a way. As for fitment, if you've read any and every review in any kbd kit, fit is darn near good.ibam a big confused in a few parts of your comment. "I saw them on car is less than" and "no body shops will touch the modello". If you can rephrase that properly it would be highly appreciated.
@@Mikkelism Let me clarify some of my comments as you requested. I have no personal knowledge about the FRP bumpers - I was merely stating what I’ve been told by the local body shops in Louisiana. They told me they experienced problems with the FRPs for other cars in the past and it is their recommendation that I find a used bumper versus the FRPs. I was involved in what was essentially a 1 car accident to avoid a rear end. There was a previous accident that caused traffic to be backed up and quite honestly the police caused my accident by not positioning their vehicles far enough back to alert approaching vehicles of the stopped traffic. I ran off the road into an area filled with overgrown shrubs. When the car was pulled out the bumper was yanked off after unknowingly having rolled over a cement block with protruding rebar. Engine and wheel splash shields were ripped off too. I was told by a local body shop that the front bumper is trashed but you may be correct, it could be repairable with effort. The body shops just believe it is cheaper to spend $1,000.00 on a used bumper (if I can find a 97+ replacement) than repairing the original that is severely damaged. When I inquired from local body shops about the bumpers out of Cali (Duraflex) and Nev (Modelo Drive FRP) both companies sell similar products -- a fiberglass reinforced plastic front bumper cover. After watching your video, I believe you have personal knowledge about the SC300, so I was asking your opinion about the KBD polyurethane bumpers. The local body shops told me generally it is a lot of work to cut the FRP bumpers to fit so I was quoting them. This same alignment and fit issues, I was told about FRPs when I had to replace the bumper on my car in a hit and run accident almost 10 years ago. The damaged bumper I have now I found for about $700.00 in 2014 or 2015.
Minor exterior changes for the 95-96 model year are what make me proud of my early 95 SC300 lol subtle and aggressive in tasteful ways and it’s a little more rare than the other model years. Just wish mine was a cleaner example and factory 5 speed but would keep it the same year and everything
another great vid, thank you. beyond the fog lights, the differences between the 92 and 95 front ends wasn't something i had noticed. i wondered if you knew if the grill on the 97+ had a functional purpose? does it help feed more air into the intake??
Don't like the 92, 95 is ok but I'm selling it, V speed came with it and was going to use it but found something Better coming soon. Waiting on shipping.
i owned a 1994 sc400 but swapped 97+ side skirts and tailgating on it. i’m not sure why everyone is such a fanboy over the 97+. Mine had a factory lip added to it and imo it just looked way better. that added vent kinda ruins the lines for me
Absolutely top notch explanation of the differences!
Thank you for the time you spent on this.
Great job.
Just got a 1994 SC300 I love it!!!
Glsd you're loving the sc300
Niiiiiiiiice description. I have the same "ugly sweater gang" 😆
Hahah nice brotha!
Great content bro
Thank you, Phillip.
Thanks, man. I’m pleased to realize I have the bumper I would prefer on mine (1992-1994). Looks good with the Intercooler and piping poking through the bottom.
Thanks for such a great video!
Also love the content and respect the time you put in all your videos. Wow !! Appreciate it.
Glad it can help and you enjoyed it.

I am glad it helped.
Even though I don't own an SC i really enjoy the SC information that you provide . Awesome video !
Thanks, it's meand a lot to me.
Droppin Gems
Thank you Jr. I hope to bring you guys many many more.
Did the supra lip on my 92 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Nice Bro!
Great video keep the sc alive
the supra crew make the sc look bad you make it good amazing
Yes, let's keep it alive! And I hear what you're saying. Even with sc and Soarer guys comparing to the supra is horrid.
@@Mikkelism the sc to me is better cars. I have a lexus sc300 with a 2jzgte vvti swap 5 speed manual and 3 1/2 exhaust sling turbo aem infinity standalone coilover and a lot more .and I love it
Mike im looking for a black passenger side window switch if you are anyone have im good condition
The Lexus SC is the best looking car of all-time.
300 400* the sc430 is ugly
Just found ya. Watching all your SC videos now. I own a 92, 95 and a 97 of various conditions!
Thank you John! That's a nice collection of SCs you have.
Bruh your voice sounds wonderful
Thank you David.
honestly didn't know the differences between 92-94 and 95-96 bumpers, thanks!
Any time
i just got a 92 oem front lip and i’m trying to put in on my 95
Okay.
Thanks for the video
No problem!
They all look good, love the look of my 92. I prefer no grille, Obviously you went the other route haha that looks good too!
92 style goes hard as well.
Where did you get that crewneck? Looks dope
Last minute of the video says where.
@@Mikkelism thanks so much!
Where did you get that cool sweater?
Online.

How did you do your Front Bumper/Grill?
Love the Awesome Brand New look. It's like if Lexus Made the SC in 2012+++

They are kinda getting scarce. You could always use a KBD front as a secondary option.
Just found the channel I thought I was already subscribed but I am now bro. One thing, first off that voice is soothing as fuck. Secondly maybe no chain on the next video or move the mic? Kinda clunky audio on this one.
Bro, I was so "raisins face" when I was listening to the audio. No link chain next time. AT ALL.
Another great video! I am a fan of the 95-96 bumper, but my reasons are a little petty. Since the 97 bumpers are harder to find in my area I have trained myself not to like them as much. 😔
They're great! We'll, if I come across some extra 97+ one day, let's stay in contact. Maybe figure a way out to get ya one, one day.
@@Mikkelism thank you! I recently parted out a 97 sc400 and kept all the 97 parts for something I’m planning to do early next year
I ordered the lip for the 97 bumper, will it fit a 93 bumper?
No
@@Mikkelism is the bumper wider or what, what makes it not fit?
@@TONELOWthaWRITER Yes, the 97+ bumper is abiut an inch wider. However it's easier to take material away, than add material. We're you able to get it to fit?
I put it on anyway, looks good from the front, had to cut the sides to flush it to the end of the bumper
@@TONELOWthaWRITER why would you do that instead of cut the middle, make the attachment points fit on the edges, and do a center repair once?
Not crazy about the 3rd gen so I Immediately sold the front and rear bumpers and the wing. Not trying to be the SAME as others....
I hear ya, With the parts you have stored up. It's gonna be good once done.

You'll get the that cleaner phase you're thinking of in time.

I don't beleive the 97+ grille adds extra air flow. BOMEX is the only one with a functional duct to the air box.
Don't like the 92, 95 is ok but I'm selling it, V speed came with it and was going to use it but found something Better coming soon. Waiting on shipping.
I forgot what one you went with exactly. I'll have to scroll up in our chat to see.
i owned a 1994 sc400 but swapped 97+ side skirts and tailgating on it. i’m not sure why everyone is such a fanboy over the 97+. Mine had a factory lip added to it and imo it just looked way better. that added vent kinda ruins the lines for me
I hear what you mean. A lot of people that are picky about it, go on about that grille. Lol they all have a great style when executed correctly.
