This is actually worse than some of the supra conversions I've seen. Don't try and make your car a replica of another. Go ahead and take some subtle styling cues, sure. But a full on attempt to copy? Nah, won't look right. Don't do the tri-tip exhaust, will be too obvious. Stick with the lexus duals but with a similar rear end design. Cut out the center section of a 97 bumper, fill in the "grill" and place the lexus logo there and cut out the fog light area. The sides will be very difficult if not impossible to do as it would require a redesign of your door's shape. I can't possibly see this being pulled off and looking right. Like trying to make an eclipse into a ferrari

How about an mr2 to a ferrari...?
The LFA just has such modern lines. Something that our beloved SC simply lacks. So to pull off the modern super-car look with our SC just seems too farfetched. It looks great as it is anyways.
