It seems these once highly modded and cherished Supra's and such end up in low income neighborhoods, with sagging body kits, yellowed aftermarket head lights, and cracked interior.

That being said, I hope the owner of this elegant SC430 keeps it in show-room condition!

My customer has 5 highly modified cars so the last thing he worries about is trade in value. Even his daily driver is modified...... I think it's more a passion for him as opposed to being practical.

Car looks very nice.

I sure hope that, wih a few years of savings, the owner will eventually be able to afford tires that actually fit the rims.

The ones on there now look like they came off of my wife's MINI Cooper!

It has nothing to do with being able to afford proper tires, he needs to run stretched tires to fit the wide wheels under the fenders. Gotta pay to play, and this guy is playing hard.

This car is in my top 3, love it!

Car is sponsored by Toyo....I've worked on all his cars and trucks, so I think he can afford tires....

Your wife's Mini must be awesome because the tires are 265-35-19 up front and 285-30-19 in the back. I'd love to see pics of the Mini with thos setup!

Oh hot damn! Lookin' good! I think it's missing a nice grille though. Perhaps a Blitz Grille would complete it.

That is one bad a$$ ride. The color and the body kit definately make a statement.
