Very, VERY nice. I wasn't really a fan of the "new body" SC's, because they looked too feminine to ME, BUT you Sir just made me eat my dreads! You have sold me.

I have been wondering when you will be inspired to build a custom front bumper for your sc430 after I have posted many pics of them already. lol

I would buy a 06+ oem bumper and keep only the upper portion to fit the oem grille and headlights.
And then cut the lower portion of bumper from any car you like the best. It doesn't matter if it is oem, aftermarket, or replica as long as your body shop can combine them.

Yea im looking at the front end and there is just too much white especially after I took off the license plate brackets. Im def need something to break it up. My shop can def do custom bumpers. Just finding the right one that will flow. I have plans to do some custom fender vents, front face lift, alittle change in the rear bumper and possibly a color change. Any thoughts talwang?

Something like this would look pretty sick. I think it would flow well with your side skirts and rear...

that's an 06+ grill in the pic i posted. it has 6 slats instead of 5 on the 02-05. unfortunately, the emblem is molded into the grill. if you want to debadge the front, the easiest way would probably be to use an 02-05 bumper and grill and have it cut to fit 06+ headlights. only other option i know of is a blitz grill, but personally i'm not a fan.
