why are the back tires tilted inwards?
Because of how low the car is, you need to have negative camber. If you were to hit a dip, the rear wheels would rip through the rear fender. Most people have negative camber so that when they hit a dip or any imperfection in the road the rear wheels would miss the fender.

No one that lowers their car like that wonders why they wear out. these people know.

The people who do wonder are not quite the enthusiasts and/or the ones that keep it stock or maybe just lower it a little.

And besides, like someone else mentioned, this car is on air bags. The car won't be driven that low. So when the car is driven, the camber won't be as bad.

But I think you already knew all this

I also like that the rims are stepped.

1) Find a company that imports it from Japan.

2) Pay at least $3500 for the body-kit (w/o quad tips).

3) Pay an exorbitant amount of cash for shipping.

4) Wait at least 6-8 weeks.

5) Wait another few weeks wondering why you're waiting longer than the 6-8 weeks they said it would take to get the kit.

6) Install & enjoy.

^^Agreed.. Intdiamond's info is on point.

BTW.. Job Design makes 2 rears for the SC. One for the quad exhaust and this one:


Quads look better in my opinion but I'd rather save my dough for another mod. Blitz exhaust suits me just fine thank you.

Also.. If anyone purchases the kit, save your money on the fogs and purchase the Nissan Altima fogs.. I believe its 2004-2006 they fit perfect. I have them. PM me if you need specifics.

Cool, thanks on the fog light tip. I'll be purchasing this kit in the near future.

I've been pricing this kit. Best I've found so far is a little over $4,000 (including shipping) for bumpers, side skirts and fog lights. It would be much cheaper, but the Yen has skyrocketed against the dollar over the last 6 years.

I am pretty sure you won't buy it once you see the price tag.

Good info. I knew the foglights are from Nissan, but didn't know which car.

I don't know how much you can save.
The Aimgain front bumper uses the foglights from the 2010+ Lexus LS460.
