I like the SC. I was hanging around CL when I had my IS.

Another suggestion, you should change to the newer model's LED taillights.

Looks much better IMO.

oh damn that looks nice. I always liked these SCs, I was looking at some as well, but they were so damn expensive!!!

you should open up those headlights and paint them same color as the car.

haha I know what you mean. i did a bunch of TL headlights, opened up my own 2 times, did them for friends 5-6 times, and now I want to do it on my FX35 but just too damn lazy.

by the way do you have any suspension upgrades on this car?

Clean as f*ck. Didn't think these cars could look good and always looked at them as chick cars but your 430 is awesome. Very well modded and tasteful. Nice job dude.

Car is too nice for me, rather have some money in my hand for a bigger down payment(property), and buy a cheaper car.

I'm actually looking into an Acura CL Type-S Manual. I LOVE Lexus but I do miss Acura....

Looking forward to being active in the forums again.
