Overall, very nice looking car. Great job!

I really like the front fascia. It reminds me of an SL500 or some other MB I've seen recently. The side skirts are not my style (I don't get the point of the apparent non-functional vent), but I understand everyone has different tastes. I like the rear fascia as well, but it looks really similar to the stock one (ie, doesn't seem worth the money). But overall, it looks much more aggressive and cooler than stock.

Neither do 20s over stock 18s. They just look better

BTW, the JD kit on your car looks HOT!!! Congrats!!

Nice to see it on an SC that's not the typical black (like it will be on my black SC soonn).

Thanks nkx.. I could have easily purchased a rear lip but I wanted it to flow better. I didnt want any break in the rear. The sides do not match up with the OEM rear btw.

well, id say you just changed my mind about the 430's I would own one for sure if it had that body kit on it. But i will/do own a 98 SC430. The block is being preped right now & will be installed by next weekend. Im gonna call it a 1.3uzfe. Sweet a$$ ride, well have to meet up sometime @ one of the local meets when im back on the road.

doesn't seem like much but is really a subtle touch, really like the look. Clean and sportier not too over the top. good job!

The way you modified your SC is the only way I'd do it - no lips on the front and rear, but full bumper replacement. Lips look like add-ons, while the lines on your car just flow. Well done!
