Default Why has no Aftermarket Company attempted to add a Grille?

I have been trying to love the SC look, but to be honest its hard. the GC Impreza Look really grew on me and I didnt think that it would, the SW20 MR2 look had really grown on me and I had really been hoping the SC look would grow, been trying to look through many pictures but to no avail, maybe its its boat like appearance...??




anyway I made a quick attempt, not much, in photoshop and I think it made it look quite better.

although I think maybe its because it looks alot more like an IS, which I love the look of (but no V8)



I really wish that people like Extreme Dimensions would try something like this, but they always make complicated designs with too many lines and fussing things up..

Please dont, that looks hideous. Not even ED will make that and they make pretty hideous stuff.
Real question is why did you buy a SC if you dont like the look.'
Boat like apperance? How so?

The look is nice in some areas, but I was looking for a Toyota RWD Coupe with two rear seats. the car looks ok, but I havn't fell in love. I was hoping the look would grow on me more, like it has with the GC Impreza. but it hasnt too much, I am hoping that after I mod the car some more, I will grow to love it a hell a lot of more and that will make me love the cars look more.

and the number one reason I got the SC was for the 1UZ, Plus I like the Luxury.

Dude, Toyota RWD, Supra, Supra Celica, go old school. or get a ISC, the 97+ grill is enough, Unless you want to do a one-off go ahead, but the SC design does not age, and still looks better than most cars today! Since I got my 99 , I notice people break neck to see the Golden Pearl roll Past them

all the cars with grills have a slight slant, the sc nose is too skinny and at 45 degree slant so no you cannot in any way shape of form have a decent looking grill in that area

Look like a monster truck flattened a GS.

The SC doesn't need a grille that big. The 97+ grille is not even necessary. It'll just be putting a bigger drag on the SC.

But I'll give you this, it looks more decent than the spindle grille s*** like you see on new Lexuses.

Please buy a car that makes you happy and do not ruin an sc with that hideous grille.

I was looking for something more modern, for a Daily Driver, and I need 4 seats. and I like the look of the SC over the MK3 supra I think.


there is SO MUCH as far as function wise that I love about this car, the weight I really dont like, and the looks I dont love but there are a number of parts that I like, the back end of the car looks great.
