I was driving home last night, and i noticed a red sc400 with a kit just driving along side me. I took a glance and noticed it had no roof. This did not seem to have been a customized job at all. It looked more like the JDM Soarer convertibles found in Japan. If you are on this forum, your car is hot
Has anyone else seen one of these, i dont believe they had them in the U.S.

Judging from the rarity of this car, I think I can tell you that I've seen the same one you speak of. I saw this beast on Cross Island South heading towards JFK. I drove up behind, this was probably a year ago just about, glanced at the rear of the car, sure enough there it was SC400. Made my way up to the top and saw the top down. Unfortunately, it was one of those rare traffic-less times on the cross island, so I didn't get a chance to talk to the driver, just had to keep driving by ![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
But definetely a rare sighting
