Default Custom Bumper

Hey guys,

would it be hard to cut out a piece of the front bumper of an sc430 and insert a more aggressive grille on it? Kinda like the bentley grill

Nothing would be hard to do with the right amount of money. That being said, I don't really know why someone would take a Lexus and try to make it look like a Bentley. Kinda like when people take a 300C and try to make it looks like a Rolls Royce. It's just my opinion.

Note that grill will not work without more extensive modifications. The front end of an SC has more curves vs the Bentley with a more flatter face. Overall it would not flow well IMHO.
