Default SC's Rear end...

I don't know if this is just me but why do some of the sc's rear ends look smaller then others? Is it just because of the wheels they have?

I would say the wheel fitment plays a big part. Stance is everything...

Umm other possibilities can be if they have a spoiler or not can make a difference. Also 97-00 have the extra extension pieces/bumper which makes it look lower. Another difference in the 97-00 rear bumper is that it kinda curves out in that area between the taillights whereas the pre 97 is just flat on that part.

I agree, some do look bigger then others. I thought I was the only insane one who thought so! haha! But I guess it is the wheel size/fitment, and body that does make the difference.

Wheel fitment.

Angle.

Color.

The KIT design.

The way the KIT was fit and installed. Moulded or not.

There are quite a few things that can have that odd effect on the eye.

the white car JIC body kit one was taken at a 90 degree angle, and may have been resized in an uneven aspect ratio: ... the black car is more accurate since we can see that the house and LX470 retain their proper proportions. Also they both might be correct pics.. the black one , the camera is looking down at the car, so it dosent look as slim the white once.

also that black SC has larger wheels.
