So the build is coming along. Everything done so far is pretty much custom work. Trying to work on the rear bumper now. Reverse lights will be deleted as well as the rear side markers.

I gotta shout out Nate @ Dreamakers Kustoms for really bringing this build alive.

You are an inspiration to a lot of the members on here, me included.

Your design idea's are stunning and the attention to detail is just awesome.
Can't wait to see it finished.

Best regards

Thanks Steve,

To be honest I never thought the car would be where its at today. It was just a cool car that I've always wanted before I had kids. Somehow, someway it ended up to be a project car. I mean seriously who chops up a Lexus? I must have lost my mind when I started this build. I dont know if I will ever build out a car again but this was just something I couldnt stop until I finished. Its an addiction. This most likely will be my last run on the SC so I hope it comes out as I imagined. Pics to follow.

That's the problem with finding this forum. I've put probably $10k more into my car than I ever intended to. I would have been perfectly happy rolling around on pie plates. But then I can't go anywhere without getting compliments and stares. So there's that.

Hi Will

I had no intention of modding this car until I found CL.
The SC is so rare in the UK that I hardly knew about them until I decided to look for a convertible/sports car.
As soon as I joined CL and saw so many mods, I was hooked.
The latest mod will always be the last and then I see your next move and I want to do more.
Can you stop these mods please! lol, but then if you do, Liquid and all the others will continue posting there fabulous mods. Talwang is another, posting all those amazing body kits that I now want.
This place is costing me a fortune

Best regards
Steve

Please post really good pictures of the final product. Your modding style are very innovative, original and extremely tasteful, I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Whew - that's a relief! Just kidding. I meant as a new part or used from a wrecker for example. Do you think it would be feasible to merge the new GS front bumper to the sc's bumper?

Everyone is certainly correct about CL - I never even knew about mods until I joined the club. I already have a stack of things I haven't installed yet and a list of more mods I want to try. And then there's you and the other masters with so many great ideas and creations.

This is a great club.
