1. Imho they destroyed what the SC is all about. Performance but with confort. They shouldve done that to a supra. THe SC caters to people that love perfromance but also want a daily driver. I guess it's too boy racer/riced out for me but then I want a SC for ti's timeless elegance, not to slap on a bodykit and have a ggiant gaping hole to show off my IC. Sleepers will always be better than ricers.

2. Can you even see out of the windshield? wtf look at all those decals!

3. Damn I wish that was a factory color, wonder what the color code for that is.

4. I love the nos cans in the back, now ofly if it actually acted as the nos bottle.

It is a purposely built show/race car....
stickers are for sponsors
show car is a show car, you see all the cars in SEMA are all riced out cars too...

Some times maybe we should respect people's work more...
every modded car has at least one or more good things in it...

1.how did they destroy it, if it's a purpose built drift/grip car? Why build a supra, when you can build an SC for half the cost?

2.do you really think people would be that dumb to put stickers on their windshield? come on, man, it's a car show. people have sponsors, how else would they show them off?

3.closest thing you can get to that color is RSP from the factory.

4.the cars main sponsor is NOS, and he does have two bottles where the back seats would be.

why is it sad that they used the same wheels? UENO is from Japan, this is a US car. That's like saying. ****ty, he has a origin lab kit, that means no one else shoudl have it or they wont be creative.

Ueno isn't the only one allowed to have those wheels. He used to have GTC's, so does that mean everyone else who has them, are copying off him?

Plus if the guy has sponsers that are paying for a large majority of the mods on his car I don't blame him. The car looks great, the color is great and the NOS drinks have to top it all off.. haha

I wouldn't want to race it if i caught a glimpse of it. Well actually i would even if i lost.

Very nice 1jz by the way.

I'm with everyone else, nice car... clean swap... what turbo and manifold are those? The funny part is I was planning on painting my SC a similar blue color. I also planned on getting the Origin kit, and of course the frontmount and 1JZ swap (this part is done!) but I could never had seen anything that looks like it. Now that I see it on a car I definately like it...

With the crazy amount of work done to the body of the car, I'm surprised that the sunroof was kept

i agree the car looks sweet, my only issue is has anyone noticed how low the shifter is in the first pic? its literally hiding behind the e-brake.

Car looks good shop is local here I got my rear fenders rolled and pulled up there last summer. To all the haters its a show/race car they don't drive it on the streets so no sleeper status needed.
