That's GREAT to know the SAGE RCA kit for the 2nd gen GS direct fits the SC430!!

So now you can raise your coilovers up for more piston travel (dampening)....love the look bro.

Do you have any side shots on the exhaust tips? How well do they fit? What kind of custom piping was required, and was the welder able to do it easily? Thankss! It looks good!

I love the first rims!!!!! Bring them back!!!! I'm a chrome sucka though.

Love the lip, especially with Reynolds on it. Reminds me that I need to marinate my chops today! LOL

Are you keeping the black dubs or still looking for other rims? Asanti LF's are sweet.

You dropped the custom lip project already?

AC Evolution lip is the one of best choices if you plan to do the front only.
