Great pics Richard!

Why did that Indigo blue sc430 owner get Porsche calipers/rotors instead of aftermarket ones?

I think the real question is, "Why did that owner install SUPRA TT front brakes and put a PORSCHE emblem on it"?

Supra rotors or Porsche whatever, I don't care, the pictures look so hot and those rims are to die for.

man, i was about to say that.... first i was very impressed with the porsche brakes custom fit to the car, but then i looked closely at the calipers and was like no way this is wrong.... very ricey, stupid....

some of the cars are very very nice, some of the wheels i don't really care for though. i can't wait to move to our new place soon so we can lower the car more. our car is too high as of now!!!!!

That exhaust isn't the same one as this one is it?



If yes then I'm not feeling what's inside the tips. If no then where can I get it & how much? I looked on Carson's website but it wasn't listed.

I think it is the same.
The owner probably just puts some add-on to make it sound turbo.
I believe similar kit can be purchased on Ebay for $50.

You can call Carson Toyota to order it, I think.
The retail price is 158,000 yens before tax.
