Default Dark Knight aka Darth Vader Photoshoot

Before anything, I just wanna say that I know that the general crowd our SC's gather nowadays have changed in the last couple of years. The forums used to be flooded with really really cool clean *** SC's. I don't want to knock on anybody or anyone. I respect that each and everyone have their own personal style and I wish everybody respected that as well as much as I do. But regardless, I still miss seeing those well built SC's with no minor detail spared.

My SC is still far from how I want it to be. To be honest some personal stuff I've been dealing with put it in the back burner and I've been heavily neglecting it since getting a GX. I'm planning on getting back to it in the next 2 years. For now, here are a few pics of a photoshoot we did for a website I recently launched. Enjoy the pics guys, I look forward to seeing more clean well built SC's on here in the future!

I'm relatively new to modding SCs (but have owned 3 over the past 20 years) and haven't gotten mine near to where I wanna be yet either BUT I take solace in knowing that these cars are constant works in progress...and worth the patience and effort.

Good looking car. The sheer numbers of die-hard SC lovers may not be here like the days of old but rest assured, some of us still are.

Both cars look awesome as always! Your SC is up there with all of the big players from a few years ago. It's one of my favorite builds on Club Lexus.

What color is the interior on your GX? Mine is tan and I've never seen any other color besides tan.

Nice ride, always good to see you on the forums. I always wondered, is that the stock paintjob?

Awesome shots! Anything unique on the interior of the car worth taking pictures of as well?

Thank you all for the compliments, even though I don't consider my SC to be up there with the greats. Haha One kid on SC FB groups was clear enough to remind me that it's all stock except for the wheel, suspension and front lip. I don't even have boost.

I think it's S2k. I broke the antenna while forcing my car cover on it cause I didn't know I can unscrew it. Haha Don't really care about it, I'll shave it when I get to do the body.

The GX is grey/black interior. I swore to never own tan interior ever again after the SC400. Haha

It's still stock. It has a lot of rock chips, it looks like the night sky when you see it in person. Haha Forgot to credit the photographer, he's also a member here, username Fliptrix. Also owns a black SC with Vertex body kit, but he's focused on his BMW E46 now.

Thank you! And definitely will get to fix those fenders with the body. I want a more stockish subtle pulled fenders.

It's a black/black original 5 speed with Tein Type Flex with EDFC. The EDFC controller is right where the ashtray is supposed to be, modified it to fit, don't need it since I quit smoking 2 years ago. And also I have SC430 woodgrain steering wheel, matches perfectly with the wood surround.

Can't talk or post about it here, but there's more pics in my Flickr account if you click any of the pics.
