Default Supra front on an SC?

So I did the usual searches before even bringing a thread like this to life...couldn't find anything.

I was in downtown LA this morning and out of one of the parking garages came what looked like a supra...but then as it turned I noticed the rear was odd and it was an SC?!! It didn't look to bad...whoever put it together did it cleanly though it was really confusing. I guess with the trend of the Sil-Eighty and R32 fronts on S13's it was bound to happen. So then I was going through our supra catalog today and realized how similar the two cars fronts are. I'm pretty much fixed on the Team Target front and I don't know that I would even consider doing this to my car but I am quite curious. Has anyone ever fitted a JZA80 front on an SC? Does anyone have any pics?

It was black with Supra headlights....but I doubt it was a VIS kit because everything fit

It happened too fast to take a picture (plus I was driving the other direction) My camera phone has a 2.0 megapixel camera so if i had the chance, i would have got some decent images.

Our very own member venom_V8 has a wide body SC with supra front (was the SC in Fast and Furious 1- but was purple with a dragon on the side)
