!!!wow man i know people dont want to read things like this from no one here cause people always expect to read good coments about their taste, but i think the owner of that SC did nothing but destroyed his own car, i doubt he could get that back to its factory look which means time for a new SC and this time ask for help before doing it your self ,CLUB LEXUS will help.... hahaha is just my opinion

Wish they would have kept the body line thru the wide body.

Those wheels just plain do not belong on an SC.

Sometime to big is just to big

It's not the wheels it's that god forsaken "super stretch" of the tires. Wheels are quite nice. But seriously this tire stretch thing has got to end soon. I mean there's useful mods, and then there's mods that not only look like *** but are detrimental to performance, durability, safety, you name it.

That was my car. And yes those were milts wheels. That whole sc turned into a nightmare/disaster. 1/4th way through the bodywork in widening it.. My body guy ended up in lockup. So with part of the work done. Had to get it towed else where. Really got screwed by the second body guy and pretty much gave up on how it should have looked. Wheel fitment was very aggressive and the front and rear pairs were too different from each other to even make it look remotely similar. So.. Traded the project away. Dabbled left and right in other cars but i came back and built another sc300. This time no more widebody. That fiasco was a extreme wake up experience for me. But hey you live and learn. Wasnt happy with the out come either!

Horrible lines of the SC are not even there.
Hopefully the new owner did something better to that SC

Definitely lost alot of money in that thing.
The car went to georgia.. I traded for a jdm aristo. Ended up not being able to title that. Then ended up with a skyline r32 gtr. Got screwed with that badly. So gave up on my chase of jdm cars again.

This is the new sc300

Wow why so much bad luck with your cars?

New SC is on the right track, not feeling the Flat Black and your lip is on wrong. I like those wheels tho
