Default Chopped SC?

Has anybody ever considered it?

Im not a photoshop guy, but heres my attempt, by simply cropping the roof down lower.

I know my fenders failed, but I think this could be sick ...
More so than anything else we've talked about (Vented Hoods, Vented Fenders, LF-A Stuff ...).

*EDIT (NEW PIC) - Top/Stock, Bottom/Chopped

your ideas.... are you ever going to try any of them? being blunt because you make threads like this so often.

and horrible idea there is barely any head room how the car is originally why would people want it to be lower?

Impractical ergonomically YES.......... but i'd like to film the faces of the people who think it's a horrible idea if this thing came rolling up the street really nicely done. (driven by Vern Troyer)
Extreme dimensions make a car for me sometimes. Concept cars are all about it.

Keep the wacky ideas coming Cityknight. It is good for the brain.

It'd be interesting to see it done, but the cabin is fine the way it is.

And we can just cut some random holes, no paint, lots of rust, side pipe exhaust or headers straight out of the hood, white walls, etc...and call it a rat rod.

Lol the SC is a long car so having a low *** roof line imo wouldnt look right because it would be unproportionate.

Chop's would make Lexus not a Lexus. Not a good idea IMO.
