^^daniel...it's JDM yo!
notice the rhd.

and those fenders don't appear to be aftermarket, just look at the molding job that's done to it.

Big props for this guy, lots of custom work done (flawlessly). I hope this SC becomes inspiration to many owners to come.

The exhaust (tip) remind me of the 2007 LS460.

im with you on this one. i love the look on it very clean. the only thing i would change is the front bumper. maybe put on a ac front or vertex lip.

Deceptik1 nice find that car is sick. love the offset on those
cleansc your car also looks bad. another very good example of a clean sc.

yea it does

the way the body kit is presented has to also do with the combination of rims and ride height... its the whole package not the kit alone

the point of the AC is to enhance the stock aspect of the car, and IMO that car is not using the kit to do so. I think it just looks like its trying to be some kind of DUB car when its slammed like that with such huge rims, not my taste at all.

Agreed. I personally like the more agressive kits on the SC. I'd kill for a BN-sports widebody SC or a Vertex widebody SC.

If I was going with a VIP style I'd probably go AC though with some Work Equips or Euroline SL's or something. mmm sexy :drool:
