Absolutely hideous. looks like the front should be the rear. Horrible colour as well. Top Gear UK car TV program said the SC430 was the worst car in the world. They must have had this one in mind.

I agree on the color, almost any color would be better. (Unless you are an aggie Jim)

What I am impressed with is the design and execution. That is a front end you would not see on any other car (Though it does not match the back end in design style)

Sure you would... on the car the front end design is cribbed off of.

I agree the execution looks good, it's the design that baffles me. Why put so much time and money into something that is only successful at being an oddity, but, not at being beautiful? If anyone else feels the need to do this, please pick a more appealing front end to transplant. I'm thinking AC Cobra, or something more exotic like a Porsche, Ferrari or Lambo front end. Otherwise, leave your poor SC's puss alone!
