Default SC 92-00 Facelift to 01-Up Conversion

I ran across these pictures of an MKIV Supra with the SC430 front conversion, and it made me think that it must be just as easy to convert the SC. I'm not saying it's RIGHT, but somehow this Supra is pulling it off cleanly atleast-- and it's gotta look better than a Supra front on an SC! (*Barf)
Someone should jump right in and try it, or atleast Photoshop it.

Clean.... shows how far deep pockets will get ya.

I would love to see a SC3/4 front on a Supra. A non-photoshopped version.
The front of Supra's really didn't withstand the test of time very well.

That's very interesting how it actually looks alright on that Supra. It flows pretty well with the Supra. I'm not too sure about the SC400/SC300 with an SC430 front end though.

Yup. G35 was my first thought. Doesn't look bad, though.

not that clean of a swap:
where the fender meets the a-pillar doesn't come close to matching.
The fenders are WAY too wide for the car (the rear fender flares add more anti-suave)....

Then, there's the photoshopping, which probably removed more flaws.
Good idea, just not executed well.

Surprisingly it doesn't look bad? Not something I would do, some points for being different.
