You're really setting high limitations on your SC for the rest of us SCers... I love it ever since you started the build! The pics don't do your paint job and tint justice though... The pics are too dark the candy doesn't pop out, even your bronze(or something) tint... I just noticed that you also deleted the sidemarker light, it looks so clean and looks so empty at the same time! Lol Either way really great job! The color of the brake calipers go so well with the paint scheme of the wheels and body... OMG I really love your SC!!! (Groupie mode)

Btw, what brand and where did you get those brake rotors? They look very nice... I wonder if the LS brakes have that option...

thank you very much for all the kind words. These pics def do the paint justice minus the kandy pop, it only really happens on sunny days or when sun is coming up/down it lights up red. The bronze tint does not pop either as much as i wanted it to. The Color of the calipers is the basecoat under the kandy. Tese are DBA 4000sx rotors, not sure if they make them for ls brakes hit up robert at mvp, i got the kit,wheels/brakes from them great prices and customer service.

the article itself is pretty bad writing IMHO, but the car is gorgeous no doubt. much respect. I particularly found the part where the dude talks about how there arent any nicely done SCs to take inspiration from; seriously guy? where have you been for the last twenty years? get your head out of the sand.

lol, anyways, great car

The shine looks amazing along with the choice of wheel color. I also read you had TT wheels. I like those more, especially with a beautiful black you have. I am not a fan of the stretch either. Way too low for me, but your objective was met... HELLAFLUSH... Mission Accomplished. Overall the car is beautiful. I wanted to see more the interior and engine bay...
