I sold my bone stock 240 and picked up a 94' Lexus SC300. She runs pretty good, rides amazing and has ICE COLD A/C!!!





The only blemish is here on the right rear quarter...but I plan on painting the car anyways.


Having a bone stock SC is ok, but I couldn't ride like that for very long.

Step one...Wheels. I bought a set of 19' Racing Hart J5 pro's. 19x9 Fronts 19x10.5 Rears.

But, before I could put the wheels on...I had to massage the quarters a lil bit...haha Here's how I did it.

Tools you'll need to do a fender pull...

1-Floor Jack
2-Ratchet w/ appropriate Socket
3-Phillips head driver...I needed this, you prob wont.
4-Mini Panel Popper...You wont need this either.
5-And last, but should be #1...a big hammer.


First jack up your car, Unbolt and remove wheel...duh




The SC had plastic fender trim on all four corners...


Take the Phillips head and remove these, no need for them now...




Still attached to the fender are these little guys that the above trim get screwed to...


Take the mini panel popper and pop all of these out. If you don't, they will create little dents as you hammer them against the fender...




Now the fun part with the BIG hammer!


You're gonna want to start on one side of the quarter lip and hammer the lip from an L to flat, before you actually start "pulling." Hammer at a 45 degree angle and work your way to to the other side, until flat.




DO NOT hammer in one place too much or you WILL make dents and or ripples...Remember, I said "massage," not smash!

Once you have the lip flattened, start the process over with a little more force. Begin "pulling" the quarter ever so slightly, until desired pull is achieved. Then repeat on other side. The same process applies to the front fenders, but don't go too crazy, the metal is a lot more manageable.

Before...


After...


I managed to do this without making any dents or ripples in the quarters...the damage you see in the picture is chipped paint...this too will happen to you. Don't do this if you care about your paint.

Now lets see what my wheels look like on the car!!!


HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA...GAY.

Step two...Suspension.

What footwork am I running? I cut the shit out of my springs! hahahahaha

How does she look now?


Not too shabby!

And before anyone starts bashing me for cutting my springs...Know this is only a temporary hack job.

Here's what is sitting in my room !

BAGS BABY! With adjustable struts! The only thing I'm waiting for is for the front struts to come in.
The big bags are for the front...the others for the rear...


5 gallon aluminum tank...


Viair 480c compressor...


AccuAir control system...this unit contains 8 solenoids, distribution block, and wiring in one neat, compact package...




Viair twin needle pressure gauges...each gauge reads the pressure for two bags, so I can level the car...


The switches, relay, pressure switch and fuse holder...


And the 9-wire, which makes wiring a breeze and very clean...


That's it for now...Tell me what you guys think!
