Well to me it looks like you were trying to turn the SC into an Impala, am i right? Me personally its not my style. I'd prefer a more stockish apearance. I will give you a million thumbs up for the originality of your car. You definately will never see another SC like that. O...and great job on the work, very cleanly done work.

I think a more agressive back rim would set it off..everything else is aggressive so you couldn't stop at the wheel offset or engine(future boosting?).. can't wait to see it in person... I hope you are going to bring it out this spring to the meets NELOC (...https://www.clublexus.com/forums/neloc-175/.. )I want to check out the craftsmanship...you got my props.. I couldn't do half of that work myself

I remeber seeing this car when you first started to work on it and was interested in the finished project. After seeing the finished project, I can definately say that you have an original work there. I truly admire the fact that it was all done yourself, and the original thinking and daring to make it a reality. Thumbs up for all of your hard work. It really is not my cup of tea though. I dont hate it, not too sure if I like it. Please lose the color matched rims and introduce some other color into your creation, Just a little too much. Anyways,,, overall,,, props to your efforts and hard work and the daring to dream your creation into existence.

sorry man but not a fan at all

i do like the tail lights though, but i would like some more rounded off fenders, it just seems to mess with the flow of the car, and yea get aftermarket mufflers/tips like someone else said

thumbs up for originality as well though, that is impressive doing your own work though

#1 thing though, LOSE THE RIMS!

gotta add though...

from the front side angle shot

the rear fender with a sunken wheel actually looks kinda cool with your setup...
i think if you changed the rear spoiler and put a wing on there, that would look better with your overall setup and would make it very unique indeed

yet again not what i like... yet its growing on me... :-P

Other than that...good job for craftsmanship.

The tailights, fenders, front bumper ... they are ... mmm ...

However, the paint looks great, though.

"the line" that everybody hates so much is something i did to follow through the body line of the car. yes my brother, a good friend of mine, and myself are responable for this project. we have other projects in the works. we have a 2000 civic with boxter head lights. i mean like they say "2 each his own". if you dont like it i still greatly appreciate your opinon. i mean i should do what every one does here." supra motor, supra parts, this tail, that tail. great so i will be "mr. my car is #495". yup there are 500 exclusive people with a car just like mine. eveyone in my hood they love it. WAIT TO YOU GUYS SEE WHAT I HAVE IN THE WORKS FOR MY MOTOR. i will not say till it is almost complete but it is definately original. my goal is to make these magizines without a sponsor. without the super crew and funded by my 9 to 5 (7 to 3- plumber). thanxs for setting up the poll ! and keep them coming. i think the car looks better in person. but i do agree with you guys on some things. CL rocks
