Default Spotted: yellow SC with Supra taillights

I was driving eastbound on I-90/94 around downtown Chicago when I saw a yellow Lexus SC with Supra tail lights. I'm not a fan of the Supra tail lights on cars other than the Supra, but it seems like this car had a lot of work done. Didn't look like shotty (read: primer gray and cut corners) workmanship on that car. Tried to get away from the car because I hate it when non-Supras have Supra tail lights and rear spoilers (this car had both), but for some reason he kept staying behind me.

His exhaust was loud too. Didn't sound like a stock 2JZ-GE or a 1UZ-FE motor. Maybe swapped?

Anyone else see it?

-Brian.

That SC is parked in a lot near Taylor and Paulina during the day. I see it whenever I am on way to UIC's medical school.

I like the yellow/carbon fiber-look but something about the car doesn't look right to me. The stock SC tails look much better than the Supra tails; the Supra tails do not flow with the SC's rear end.

He's been spotted many times. There was a thread about the car in the SC forum some time ago. He has a 2JZ-GTE motor with stock 5 speed transmission. I also think he might be a member of the forums.

I know this does not relate in any way............. I live in CT and saw someone who put a Supra front end and tail lights on a F&#$%$#@ CIVIC and painted it Orange like the Supra in The Fast and The Furious. So pathetic. It was awful.
