just IMO, but if you badge it Toyota, it might look even better (get that JDM look, heck, they don't even have Lexus in Japan ) mad props for the work

Nice conversion. They are tough to do and have it look good. I can just see the puzzled local Lexus dealer turning people away coming in to buy an SC440.

It looks good and very creative. But I wouldn't do that if I had one. Also, I don't get how it's a "440"? Anyway, it does look good and very clean.

it's a Toyota Supra and should be badged as such or be badgeless
badgeless would have been cool too, never would have thought of that!! Regardless, it's the most creative thing I've seen on this site in a while.

I really like it. I think it is simply awesome you take a hardtop car and make it into a convertible.

Excelent photoshop work....I wish a real top were that easy to do.

Right now I am starting to work on a hardtop for it, using a what I had leftover from cutting the car. I've got a targa top now to work with and I will see what I can do.

Btw, I never had a salvage sc430, I posted that thread in order to find some seats, but I wound up using the black one's out of my white supra.


and no, I dont want to sell it..... havent even had time to enjoy!(but if the money is right I might let her go....Keep in mind, if ya interested make sure you dont insult me on an offered price. I have between 450 and 500 hours in the car not to even mention the money....)


At least I didnt put badges on a Camry.......



Check this picture out.... Last year for Christmas, the city decorated a park in the middle of town, well there were suppose to be two raindeer chilin....but when you drive by at a certain angle this is what you see
