Default SC's Rear end...

I don't know if this is just me but why do some of the sc's rear ends look smaller then others? Is it just because of the wheels they have?

I would say the wheel fitment plays a big part. Stance is everything...

Umm other possibilities can be if they have a spoiler or not can make a difference. Also 97-00 have the extra extension pieces/bumper which makes it look lower. Another difference in the 97-00 rear bumper is that it kinda curves out in that area between the taillights whereas the pre 97 is just flat on that part.

I agree, some do look bigger then others. I thought I was the only insane one who thought so! haha! But I guess it is the wheel size/fitment, and body that does make the difference.

Wheel fitment.

Angle.

Color.

The KIT design.

The way the KIT was fit and installed. Moulded or not.

There are quite a few things that can have that odd effect on the eye.

the white car JIC body kit one was taken at a 90 degree angle, and may have been resized in an uneven aspect ratio: ... the black car is more accurate since we can see that the house and LX470 retain their proper proportions. Also they both might be correct pics.. the black one , the camera is looking down at the car, so it dosent look as slim the white once.

The picture with the black SC, looks "pinched" resized picture editing
also that black SC has larger wheels.
