I like this car actually. It has Tom's Hood and custom rear diffuser.

Indeed, I like the way he has painted the kits.

Custom aero kits by modifying either the oem or the aftermarket bumpers are the trend in Japan.

In a more extreme case, the owner of this sc430 decided to cut 3 front bumpers(Tom's, Auto Couture and oem) to make a new one.

Part one

Combining 06+ Oem upper portion, 02-05 Auto Couture lower portion and 02-05 Tom's bottom portion.







Part two

adding 06-09 LS460 foglights

Man that is badass and expensive. Are they mating together plastic and fiberglass bumpers?

Keeping the oem upper portion for a perfect fit. Very clever, but a lot of work.

The original designers will likely be pissed if and only if they can still recognize that bumper. lol

Since I have owned my sc for almost 8 years, all I can say is a stock sc430 that looks exactly the same from a Lexus brochure is not that appealing to me anymore. I like to see something different.

It also gives me lots of headache. lol

I was proud of my ability to recognize any aftermarket kit for the SC430 everytime I saw one, I now find myself scratching my head all the time everytime I see a new one.

Car owners also want their aftermarket kits to be unique and distinguished from each other, so they start to create custom built, one of a kind piece.

For example, this rear lip with a built-in JDM Fairlady Z (US Nissan 370Z) reverse fog light has puzzled me for a while.






bonnet hood spoiler?








And this custom bumper (job design modified ?) with a molded auto couture lip I have posted before.
