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?

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?

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.
