doesn't look as stunning if you put it on a 02-05.

It's because of the lighting, the angle of the shot, and the color of the grill is different (and part fo the bumper is alos black)

+1

Come on guys, anyone who is not an owner could never tell the difference between a 2002 and 2010, I still can't see the difference in the front bumper. Lets not start a civil war.

Asked before, I will ask again, anyone know where to buy this kit?

Here's the link: http://www.artisanspirits.co.jp/car-...ars/index.html
If you use Google's CHROME browser there's a built-in translation option. Looks like the entire kit is 714,000 Yen which, with current exchange rates, is about $8200 US dollars. Keep us posted on your progress.

If they look the same to you, they look the same to you.
Not to me or some of the members here anyway.
I also think JobDesign kit looks much better on an 06+.

Now that I look again your right. The 06+ looks like an exotic super car and 05- looks like a pinto. Just think how different they would look if Lexus actually made changes to the car.

Whatever you said, man.
We don't need to agree with each other.
That is what the CL forums are for, different opinions and views as long as you are not trying to disagree with the disagreements.

Both 02-05 sc430's below have the 06+ grilles.
Again, it is fine the 02-10 grilles all look the same to you, but not to me for sure.
Since I can easily spot the differences right away, I wouldn't say it otherwise.

I thought the 06+ grille would not fit on the 02-05?
