I was wondering about the vertical slats? on my grill you can see the vertical slats and i kinda think they look ugly. Its just to time consuming to chop them all off but i might try.

Don't chop them off just yet. If you paint the vertical ones black, they should well hidden in the background. Test it out with some black masking tape first.

BTW, I don't think your grill look bad at all. Everything is awesome!

I think it will be really awesome if you can build something like the Mode Parfume front bumper on your sc.
As for the front fenders, you can build something close to the ones made by Aimgain.

the 06+ grille has a built-in emblem base that is NOT removable unlike the pre 06 grille.

I believe TLW had posted a magazine pic and said his sc430 would get the 1st Mode Parfume kit back in 08.

Great to know that Mode Parfume kit will be finally released soon even after the sc430 was discontinued already. lol

Fantastic ride - amazing work and great write ups and photos. Looks llike you had them before this build but did you make the clear lens front markers or did you find a source? I want to go clear in front; just hate the amber on silver ...

Default Transporting SC 430

I am going to tow my 2002 SC430 with an RV on a car hauler trailer. How did you tie yours down? What are the best and easiest ways that you have heard of?
