The white one takes the cake for me, just very low, auto-culture front, and did I say low? Very nice

That SC also has a rear G-Answer emblem, Tom's exhaust and 19"/f +20"/r wheel setup.

So wheels that rub the fenders and exhaust systems that sound like farts going down the road make for "Real " cars? OK the brake mod shows some thought and work but that is all I see here. Let's see someone do a mod that was not bought in a box. Show me something along the lines of what comes out of a Foose or other other shop that strive to be original. In my mind building a car out of a catalog shows nothing. This is what seperates the true builders (artist) from the players. Go build something from scratch if you want to show something or talk a game. I think I'll go read my owners manual while I wait.

Please keep an open mind and respect other ppl's cars.
It is too bad that everything they do shows nothing to you and who cares what you think.

RESPECT, please be RESPECTFUL. I agree. If you don't like it, why even comment on it? There is a way to be tactful with responses when you do not like something.

Yes please respect other peoples cars. I think they look pretty nice. Clean and not over done.

Is the auto-culture front lip on the 1st white one urethane? Also how is the camber on that kind of set up? If I do something like that do I have to replace my tires like every other month? I like it but would probally do 20's all around.

Guess the samething goes for your first post in this thread

"Most threads recently started by newbies and the conservative owners here just bore me to death.

I am not here to discuss my stock sc.
Things you can find in your user's manual need not to be disscussed again here.

I have to show you what is out there.
Let's see how Japanese owners mods their rides."

It's cool that some like to mod their cars while others like the stock look, but your the one that came on here saying anyone that did not think like you was not

That front lip you are talking about is actually a full front bumper replacement.
Herrage is the only one here who has that full kit (front & rear). I think it is FRP, not urethane.

That white sc's suspension is done by G-Answer, I think.
Unless G-Answer has installed some camber correction kit on that sc, that car is going to have camber wear for sure.

Darn that seemed like a more affordable route to go at first since you get the clean low look without a kit. But I dont want to be buying new tires every other month. Buying 20 inch low pros is not a cheap option.

modified means a lot more than just wheels and lowering. i find my sc430 just as usable and looks much better than stock

brakes show some thought? thoughts about being ricey and be a poser? thank god i don't have that kind of taste within myself.

i pay respect to people who build their own nice stuff, but i won't say thumbup to every thing just being "built" out there. they can still look like crap for all i care.
