it only looks good if you add badging from other cars that aren't even from the same manufacturer. Make sure you put a GTR badge so that everyone knows it's a race car

Even with the badges, hardly anybody notices the Mercedes with v12 on the fender:



People have no idea it's got half again more torque than a Viper and has it covered by 100 horsepower. It's in such a plain wrapper that it just gets overlooked. The funny part is that people in nice cars do notice. You'll get thumbs-up from people driving Ferrari, Ford GT, Porsche, Lambo, etc. but the average Civic driver is oblivious to what he's revving at.

Yes, those brake rotors & 8 piston calipers do fill up the 19-inch wheels

I've got some on my other car, thought about doin it to the Lex. It was easy for this car, being an American V8, but I can't seem to find a set that would look good IMO on the Lexus.

The Audi badge does kind of match the SC's general font family. It looks like it could belong there from the factory.

It's not a V8 badge but, I kinda like the look of the VVT-i badges on the lower rear of the front fender on a SC3.
