Definitely different. It seems like we've been seeing more ugly screwed up sc's on the forum lately than clean and nice ones.

I made a contact..... HOPEFULLY the owner will post here in the near future! So in other words, I wouldnt really post something that you wouldnt want the owner to read. I'm sure that people would have lots of questions for him. The more I see this car, the more I like it, just not the yellow though. So we'll see...

I was thinking about doing this untill I found this picture...
The SC is tooooo wide IMO the SC tails are a perfect size to fit the width of the car. The Supra lights are to small. Good body work though.

Is this our man??? You've got to hand it to him for origanality. And even if you dont like it, you can tell it was quality work & probably cost a good amount.

This is what happens when these cars get cheap enough that your average Honda owner can purchase one. I loved the 3 people this week who said they where buying SC's because they could put a Supra motor in it for $4,000).

(im not saying that 400's are bad, im just saying there is more aftermarket and possibilities for the 300's)

Look, Supra lights do not belong on our car. If you noticed, they are sitting at the top of the rear end on the Supra and faced at a slightly upward angle. That is the way they were designed and that's how they look best. They look horrid and out of place stuffed into the middle of the rear of a coupe. And if anything differentiates the Supra from the SC, it's the fact that the Supra is a hatchback and the SC is a coupe. So why take the hackbacked portion of one car and fit it on another? Do Corvette tail lights look bad *** at bottom of Silverado bumpers? Hell no... If you absolutely have to have the blackened, circular tail lights of a Supra, do it the classy and artful way and gut the Supra lights to fabricate into the stock SC tail housing.

That's what happens when the price of a lexus drops so much lower than the price of a supra.

Anyone who thinks they can have a 500 hp Supra swap in their lexus is either going to do it the wrong way, or realize that things aren't that cheap.If I added it up, for a body kit, wheels, supra motor and new turbo setup, it came to about 15k to do it "cheap but right"
