And from the looks of it, it seems he's begun work on a carbon fiber dash. The shifter area aprears to be CF.
Everyone also needs to remember that he is building a show car so of course he needs the paint and wing to make that big statement at the show "Damn I'm here."
No matter what you call it, this car has the ***** to back up its statement.

Hmm....what is rice??? i mean, he's got the engine to back him up. The color might be a little crazy, but hey, bet he'll spank those who are calling him rice. I mean, can you do that to your car? its not because you dont want to do it to your car its because you cant do it to your car. otherwise you would do it to your car. you would opt for that turbo, maybe the six speed. nos, fmic...what not. and damn, i dont think there is anything more rice then a slammed car with 2 big round ovals hanging from the bottom of its rear end with nothing to back it up besides a loud exhaust note. And if you go to claim that you would not do that to a Lexus because its a Lexus then damn...i dont know what to say to you. A lexus is a car, in fact its a toyota. So i dont see the big deal with fixing one up. hell, we are a lex family. got an is, gs, sc, and a lx. keep it real, quit hatin on what other people do.
The car is a show car.. but I still don't like the color or the interior. The wing needs to go also..

Man what are you talking about? Why can't we do that to our car? If you look in my sig I DID THAT MOTOR and the 6-speed.. I have nitrous, black interior FULL swap.. etc.. I know my buddy John Tan is also planning on doing the swap too.. as well as DIrEctQL. I am telling you that he does NOT have $50,000 stuck in that car. Just from talking to his friend it sounded like they did most of the work themselves meaning the paint also. So no $10,000 paint job there. I am just pointing out obvious facts since I am LIVING through the pricing of everything you say cost's $50,000 and it should be no where near that...

Wow, I must be getting young or something, or maybe I've been playing to much Need for Speed: Underground, but I actually like it alot. I don't even like modded cars. Very strange. I don't even mind the wing so much, though he could have done better. The sandstone/tan/black interior looks like a$$ though.

Me, too. Not too shabby, but would have to see it on another color car. I like the setup of his center console, but I don' tlike the CF thrown in there.

I thought about it but then decided against it.. The pictures don't really do it justice how they look in real life.. They just don't look right on a SC due to it not having a hatch and the Supra does.
The silver supra (Mikes) is not only a show car but has go that would smoke almost anything he lines up with to.. garunteed.
Here is another pic of a SCSupra..
