Default Aristo or GS300

I have decided to get the WALD bodykit along with the emblems set. The WALD grill is going in the front. On the back the Lexus "L" Stays and the "Lexus" Is being replaced by "WALD" and the "Executive" badges go where the coach badges go on the ES.

The question is I think the GS300 may look out of place with the whole car because of the "WALD Theme" I just can't decide if I want to keep the stock taillights or get Aristo ones. What does you guys think?

I think getting the wald kit would be nice, but I wouldn't replace the front emblem nor the rear tailights. Our stock tailights are mighty sweet.

Yo IVXX congrates on finding a kit that will fit your car. It seems a lot of us are looking but we are running out of luck with fitment. I also would keep the Lexus emblems. They stand out , but you do what makes you feel happy. Once again Congrats to your up coming mods

Thanks guys! The 3-6 week wait is a ***** though, but I guess that'll give me lots of time to plan it out EXACTLY how I want it. I don't know about the taillights I keep looking at them and I havn't seen good pics of the JDM ones.

I bought the kit from Kiyoshi's Motorsports because I didn't just get a kit for the GS I got some other stuff too which made it a good deal. The emblems, plates, and keychain thing ran me $160. I was going to get the TTE mesh grill but it was $440 and the WALD grill with emblem (that I like alot) was only $280. Over all it was under $2,500 which normally I would never pay BUT a few days ago I sold my magic cards for a rediculous amount (well enough to get 1 20" LD1 ) Most of the cards were crap, but I did have more then a few beta's and a beta mox pearl & diamond. Thank god for the auction cause without it i'd be back to square one looking for body kits. I think later this week i'm going to finally order rims I just can't decide though.

just curious, does the walt kit bolt right on our gs or does it have to be modified
like my skipper design in order to be a almost perfect fit. as far as i know, the bumper
support for toyota aristo in japan espclly on front are alittle narrow compared to us spec.
