If my memory serves me right, Lorinser is an aftermarket company supplying aerodynamic products exclusive to MB vehicles.

But that's changed recently according to this article.

http://lexusenthusiast.com/2009/06/1...-460-body-kit/


I've seen Lorinser kits on MB before and they look pretty nice.

But this one looks like a Lorinser kit for one of the MB classes and custom modified to fit the curvature of the SC.

They also added MB style side mirrors and the two front bumper corner strips (above the fog lights) are from a MB S-series car. Are these used for front camera view?

Indeed, that particular SC does try to copy the appearance of the MB.
I am not going to comment on the areo kits I have been posting since they are mainly for information purpose only.

From I can tell, the front is originally from AutoCouture, sides and rear from JobDesign and fenders from Behrman.
Wheels are 20" LORINSER RS8.

I do like his Hid highbeam retrofits.

Aimgain SC430

I actually found out the Aimgain kit info from a Japanese tuner web site.
Aimgain hasn't formally listed it yet.

that's my new favorite kit. it's just so hard to spend that kind of money on a piece of fiberglass. one bump and it's shattered. and i really doubt insurance would cover it.

if anyone hears a price on the aimgain kit once it's officially released, let me know. just in case i have a case of temporary insanity.

i'd also like to know if they have a version for the older sc. or if i would have to get 06+ headlights for it to properly fit.

This one is from Munakata Grand Slam.
At first glance, I thought it was the G-answer front bumper.

Probably $800 air shipped if seller has a contract with fedEx.
I paid $250 air shipping fee for my Kazama side skirts via fedEx.
It took only two days from Japan to my door.

I also plan to get a new front bumper and wheels, but I am waiting for a better currency exchange rate.
