Default **spotted** sc300 convertible, yes convertible!!

I did not take this picture, my roomate did on his cell phone.

It was spotted in Springfield, MO, about 10 minutes from where I live. I am un sure of the year of the SC, but it is a sc300.

My other roomate has also seen it. This is the only picture I have of it, it was much smaller, so I tried to "blow it up".

I will be looking for this car every day I go to springfield to get some better pictures of it ASAP!! I will also get with the owner. I really cant tell the quality of the job, cause it was so small of a picture to begin with.

But for now here is a teaser pic:

Ya that picture makes it look horrible, but im hoping for the best.

The original picture was like 150pixels tall, so im sure me blowing it up didnt help either.

I kinda like it, looks a little like a 240SX convertible or a BMW E36 convertible. The chrome fenders need to go, though, and it needs a good, long wash.

I saw a red one, with a white top, or so I think, the top was down...At the time I thought SC's did come convertible, had I known what I knew now, I would've waved the guy down

i just worked on my buddy's 93 240 vert. i could have sworn that someone just too that top and threw it on the SC. if it is indeed a clean job im impressed. still not my taste though. it looks weird for some reason. my buddies 93 240 vert looks good. an SC is weird. just my $0.02

if it was a vert with a 2jz 6sp and air-runner setup then it would be a different story though
