Default exterior styling using other car maker oem parts.

Just wondering if anyone has attempted this. For example, rear lower lip from a newer camry, side skirts off an infinity m45, etc. I've been noticing some pretty nice looking OEM parts from other cars lately and wondered if they would fit the SC. Who's gotten crafty and how does it look on your SC. Add pics if your proud.

I dont think anyone would have any of this besides maybe an aftermarket front lip customed to fit an SC. It would just be too much of a headache and too much money to customize it too fit.

Yeah, lol... that's definately not the direction I was going with this thread. I meant tasteful style without defacing the SC. More along the lines of subtle lips and spoilers.

i feel sorry for the cars, the look so good stock, then with a lip here and there a bit better. Nothing else on the exterior really needs to change.

There's a thread on here somewhere with a couple of pictures. I think those are Honda Odyssey headlights with a bimmer grille.

This car belonged to a former member who passed away. This is a very old photo and has no parts from another car on it. It was a Bomex kit. He was one of the first people to change this forum into what it is today.
