Quite a lot of work & a very good finish. Did you have to sell your house for the project ?

Thank you Pwede. Maybe me as the red sc430.
Not even close to your league, but what we can do with upstate NY winters.
As 20" - 30 series tires are totally out of the question.

I love how so many parts are custom one-off pieces.
Awesome Job!

Notice of identity crisis: this is perhaps the best example of a Japanese car gone wrong in execution of what should have been a fair competitor to XJS, SL and such (and I own one). .it's even more lost in the mix with all the Pimp My Ride, hot air and PepBoys interior stuff that I could almost see Grandpapy ex-prez, Meliania-b----'d Trump ordering a bunch of these for his grand-kids to drive around the middle east, after we just "go for the oil" i.e "bomb the --- out of em" and have them driving "our" cars. I can't picture a more 'Americanized' Lexus to make America ingrate again.
Everyone here seems too polite to say anything bad, except for the first respondent..."That is just sick". Define as good or bad?

Notice before flames-I said 'good or bad' but I didn't even say ugly...cuz' it isn't.
Maybe it's the chameleon paint (sure, and a Hemi)!

Everyone has different taste and styles.
That's why there's not just one car on the road and we all drive the same thing.
Would I have done everything the same, no?
But I would take bit's a pieces and make it my own, yes.
Because that's what it's about.
I can respect the work, effort, and originality in different builds even if I don't like them overall.
I try not to let my personal opinion get in the way of unique, creative, and hard work.
And I LOVE builds that have elements that make me think and rethink what I thought I knew.

....I'm with KiPOD on this one, everyone has different taste & style, whether it's their car,clothing, furniture, etc... I think the Sc is a beautiful car, but there are alot of people that hate it. I've personally done some mods, but I don't feel like they are over the top. I just enjoy looking at nice cars, whether they are stock or customized

One of the many reasons I miss living in SoCal. The weather is great, the car scene is SICK, and imagination is limitless. Nice ride my friend.
