Theres nothing you can do to make it prettier.
Just leave it alone.
Sometimes even if someone's design or random IDEA doesn't 'hit the mark' perfectly at first, it might inspire someone to take the idea even further. And, IT'S A 15 minute PHOTOCHOP. Come on. It was made to get an idea about what it might possibly look like, it's not a final design ready for production. *sigh.

Considering some of your prior posts about ideas to change the SC styling, I think your statement is a bit hypocritical... (Chopped SC, the fenders idea, etc.) Even Lexus changed the SC bumper designs over the years.

You make a lot of bold statements, but yet get hurt feelings when people don't like your ideas. *Shrug, who knows what your motivations are- but as someone else said- your opinion is just an opinion, and in any sort of creative matter, if it's not a productive contribution, it's not wanted, and is completely unnecessary. But I understand how some people "Just NEED to put in their two cents" without really contributing anything but negativity... So...

Not my cup of tea. That bumper must weigh in the hundreds, but good concepts.

I think the second pic (implementing +97 grill) looks decent if the inner headlights were deleted such as: http://www.speedhunters.com/wp-conte...398_16Y3_0.jpg

Interesting? Out of all the p-shop. I like the one with the 97+grill? If you could pull it off, I think it would grow on me? Keep it coming, curious to see where this goes?

(Did these chops over a year ago)

I disagree.
The body style remained the same with only subtle changes for a decade straight; theres a good reason for that.
The body kits that do look "better" are few (v-speed, origin, etc.) but they're not really thaaat much prettier overall; they simply "don't look bad" only. A lot are actually the OEM kit, only lower at the base, to drop it's appearance. I can't help people who have bad taste (or none at all), and think some of these ridiculous body kits are more beautiful in comparison to it's original form. Body kits are cool, but the SC is a car that doesn't really need one.

Ps:
Chopped SC wasn't bad at all
The appeal was in the low roof line, like Mercedes.
My ideas have all been subtle also; I've never changed the overall appearance of the car.
15 minutes, or 5 hours - makes no difference; you're trying to put sharp corners on a round car; thats a big difference than whatever I've suggested.
It doesn't work.

try that front on a wide body - say a vertex or v-speed -
they have less curves and less sleek a look, it may suit it more.
But im glad someone took the time to photoshop that front on a sc - now I know.

The LF-LC is so sweet looking compared to the RC that is coming out now..... I know the materials and price point are not the same and glad the RC platform has more engine options besides a hybrid but still.......

The picture above compared to the RC is no contest (in my opinion - which I am often reminded counts for very little.... LOL).
