project stage one complete
well so mark already burst the bubble with the pics, so there is nothing to hide anymore. yup, our sc430 has gone through the first stage "facelift" and i think the result is pretty satisfying. the stuff we have done so far
- wald body kits
- tom's roof spoiler
- trafficstar dts 20x9 and 20x10.5
- tein cs
- daizen sway bars
car is a completely different ride now, we love it. the ride is very comfortable still, but finally the wheel gap is gone, and the wheels are nicely flush with fenders. the body kits give just the right amount of aggressiveness to the car, and the tom's roof spoiler was a surprise touch to the car too. the daizen sways together with the tein cs totally changes the handling of the car. i try not to push it hard, but the car for sure can go a lot faster on corners now.

we spent tremendous amount of time on deciding what wheels to get for the sc430. we wanted 20s for more clearance and honestly i think 20s fit better on the car (19s just look too small, sorry, hehe 
). reverse lips is also a must. after all the searching and more importantly my dearest bank account, we finally decided on the trafficstar dts silver finish, 20x9 +30 and 20x10.5 +29. too bad trafficstar they dont' allow custom offset otherwise i would have push out the front a tad more. the rubbers are 255/35/20 and 285/30/20, the front is a bit taller but i got a good deal. the lip size is about 2" in the front (with bbk clearance, cough cough ), and 3.5" in the back. probably coz' the wheels have a relatively straight spoke design, it makes the lip looks wider than usual. which is good 
we are very happy with the wheels, well, much better than the stock ones on the car before, haha
here are some pics, enjoy
oh and for those who want to inquire about the wheels, feel free to pm me

Great job Rom!!! 
The Wald body kit you have is my favourite on an SC - it just flows so well and looks very clean. Does not look like an afterthought like some body kits that go on to the car as opposed to replacing the OEM bumpers and side skirts.
