I guess i'll jump in on this.
I will rate Habious's SC as an 8.0. It is a prime example of a tasteful SC430.
Add In all the electronic goodness (I love electronics) and It is just plain and simple awesome. I would have bumped you up a half point or so If you changed you wheels..
lol, I think i'm starting to sound like a broken record.

I haven't started any of my *planned* exterior mods (still working on the engine) but heres what I got until bodykit time rolls around.
I snapped these after the turbo install, and I have cleaned up the engine bay a bit since these pics. After its working reliably I will make it all shiny and clean. Oh and the A-pillar isnt finished yet. Still need to paint and trim the stock leather, and add in third gauge

Ali SC3- I like the sc, tints could do some good

why is the timing cover removed? im not too sure but if it is for a reason then good, thats like -.15 of a point tho lol but, if you had like the adjustable ones, even if its set to 0 thats a plus haha

lower it!

anndd possibly get different tail lights, its my personal opinion, but im not feelin the chrome outlining.

and my turn...oh jeez..









this sub blew, so i got a alpine type R instead..gotta take pics of that.



standard radio with this too....

oh, 1loudlx, is that a flat paint job?

i like the overall look, im not too savvy with the whole off road scene, but i think the truck looks pretty diesel.

9 from me, i really like the color scheme, spotlight and the brush guard

yup, got the truck repainted in november the flat finish was a game time decision after seeing it sanded down. I never want my truck to shine again.

Thanks Ray, Tints are in the planning, and the timing cover was removed to be modded (old pic). Actually the car is lowered, it just looks a bit off cause the wheels are sunken but I have spacers, just too lazy to roll the fenders.
you can't diss the chrome outlinin.. lol everyone upgrades to 97 tails.

I like the es, looks very clean. I forgot to take a picture of my sound system.
i like how your sub sits in there.


1LoudLX, you have an awesome truck. If I had to start building an LX today I would hope to have it looking as good as yours.

Cathafer, The IS-f is simply ridiculously awesome and your color combo is on spot. so I would give you a 10, but I have to subtract a point for the gearbox.

totally missed the 'point' of this thread to give you a value lol

id say 9 for simple cleanliness, but since u say it needs some work to completely be up to your standard, it of course, cannot be perfect. 5spd, big plus and the na-t...soo jealous cause i drive an ES of all cars lol.

They all get 10's..really you all have some sweet cars. I like how everyone has different looks (tuner, VIP, touring and DUB) not just a cookie cutter crew. Keep up the the good work can't post mine yet... I will be at Carlisle this year. Stay tuned.

Blair; the flat finish is sick! I been partial about flat paint until I saw a flat black Lamborghini Reventon..The stealthy look works well with some cars, your car is definitely one of them..
