I also plan to get a new front bumper and wheels, but I am waiting for a better currency exchange rate.
i'm guessing with installation, it would end up being about $6000. something to think about. but it's hard to shell out that kind of cash when the car is only worth $20k, give or take.

Wow...that's a lot of jack. No doubt it looks amazing, but that's a lot of money for a body kit.

You can easilly save $1500 by finding your own exhaust tips and going with sea cargo shipping.
I am still looking for a good contact that can hook me up with a better price.

By the way, Aimgain was thinking or joking about using the OEM HID foglamp from the LS460 (oem option only available in Japan) while making the SC430 body kit.

If they use the HID foglamp, that alone would cost you more than $2000.

If you can help with the shipping part, I do know a good contact here on CL.
In fact, I am getting my new wheels from him now.

AimGain fenders and sideskirts in progress.

I believe a couple of CL members that had ordered the AimGain kit via mailorderjapan.com already knew that info weeks ago.

I don't really have something new to update here since I stop searching for new pics these days.
As the SC430 has been discontinued, we probably won't see more body kits developed for this car in the future.

I do see one-of-a-kind kit every now and then.
will post them sometimes to keep this thread alive.

The owner of this sc430 has decided to modify his oem bumpers and sideskirts into....

Juilliard kit by BoomCraft 029 Motoring

If you hate the black tint headlight and fake exhaust tips in the sideskirts.
This is the clean version of the same kit.
