hmmm.. i was thinking about doing the same as well. My car is black, so it would probably look the same doing the black-out look.

I don't like it.

It creates a harsh straight line that opposes all the curves of the body.

Is there a reason why you placed a Porsche turbo emblem on the rear of your SC? Is it actually a turbo'd SC?

The AMD fake emblem was an extra five bucks.

I was thinking the same thing. Rah would start 3 threads a day, and post 20 times, when he first showed up.

He took a beating for the cheap stuff he was sticking on his car, but I kind of miss him - his threads were good for a laugh, particularly when Mr. Blister chimed in.

sorry the turbo emblem just instantly lowers your SC430 to honda civic sporting Nismo badge status.

unless it's a turbo, which is doubtful.

I never meant to scare Sir Rahstyles off. It was just so amusing to try and understand what he was trying to do to his car. Far be it from me to tell some one what they should or should not put on there car. I actually miss the banter as well. If he reads this I hope he comes back and tells us what else he has done to his car. I have an image of a palm tree growing from the rear seat and pom poms 1950"s style strung along the headliner . What a hoot!!!!!!!!!
