Default Custom SC

We're almost done our customer's SC. It was at Wekfest in NJ last weekend and we got a lot of good feedback.

Look for the finished product in a few
weeks.

Yet another fabulous modded SC, they are pretty thick on the ground over there at the moment.

It looks finished to me, so be great to see it 'done'.

Best regards
Steve

I'd be interested in the back "seat" area and roll bar treatment. Color is amazing.

Wow, the finish on that paint job is phenomenal! The front bumper cover & side changes look great as well. Interesting interior touches too. Great job.

Too bad Lexus didn't hire you before deciding to shut down SC430 production! That is quite a refreshing upgrade.

It really looks awesome. Unfortunately, with all those custom mods it may start to deteriorate in 3-5 years. Nowadays I often see once highly-modded import cars (full body kits, rims, custom interior) which apparently have not been garaged and been used a daily driver, they typically deteriorate really quick because all the aftermarket elements are designed for the showroom and occasional cruising in good weather, not daily driving and on-street parking. 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!
