Default Any "Actual" Pics of the SC430 Eternal Jewel in Japan?

I've been searching the internet ever since the news broke back earlier in the year about the 200 unit limited edition SC430 Eternal Jewel produced and sold in Japan only and still have not been able to post any "actual" or spied photos of the car!!!

I mean, surely someone has taken pics in Japan on this car and posted SOMEWHERE on the net, but I've searched like 30 some odd pages on google, lycos and yahoo looking for them.

Anyone run across real pics? Not the brochure pics that I have posted on the Limited Edition/Pebble Beach thread...actual pics? Everything out there on the net is prototype/drawing pics. Nothing real...yet.

The closest thing we've got is the "The End" pic of the white SC with the black top. I really want to see these things live, not a drawing!

You could try setting up a Google alert and it will email you when something new is added. I've had pretty good luck with this. It's actually how I found my current position with my company!

Great idea! I've set them up with all three search engines.

If I only knew how to write and read in Japanese! I'm all over the import sites as well as www.lexus.jp and other sites, but I have NO clue on what they say! LOL

LOL...those are just factory glossies. Thanks though. You got me! I scrambled quickly to your link. Should have known...it's not THAT easy! See my original post and links-same pics. Those are Lexus corporate release pics when they announced back on 1/20/10. I'm looking for real cars in the raw... aka spy pics or owner pics.

I tried searching, too. When I was doing my research on Pie Plate and Twisters, I read a few posts on the 200 unit Eternal Jewel. Sucks that it will only be sold in Japan, those basterds!

Anybody aware of the SC430 having the side repeaters? DO the new SC430's have a side repeater on the side mirror?

I really want toi install side repeaters on my SC, I have done it on oll my cars, including my RX.

Good safety feature and it looks JDM.
