Behold! Lexus SC300 converted to SL!
Weird, this one actually came out bad but not like some of the bombers that guys have been putting out lately.

Why would you do this though?

Because along with all of the abuse that you endured from your creepy uncle as a child, you were also dropped on your head many times as a child.

With labor and paint and the outrageous price of OEM headlights, mirrors, (even badges, ha) wouldn't this cost almost as much as just buying a used SL?

I was just thinking the same thing.... even if he was able to get these parts for cheap, I'm pretty sure he could've gotten a used SL55 for cheaper than this

Too bad he did not leave it as a SC300 and turbocharged the 2JZ...it would have been a far more powerful car than any Black Series and not the butt of all the humiliation.
