Thanks. Got the car dark blue and had to 86 that mess quick like. Took it all the way down and went w/ a pearl white all over. Jams and all. I ordered the factory Aristo front w/ fogs, rear, spoiler, and taillights. Everything went together nicely. I love the look of a slammed stock Aristo so thats what I shot for. I'll get some better pics of the exterior as well as some interior and stereo shots as soon as I can.

Thanks fr the GS300 correction, I was really starting to think I had a REAL Aristo.

As for the grille, its the factory grille w/ the center taken out and the metal surround trimmed out. I took perforated aluminum and drilled tiny holes in the edge of the grille then wired the two together w/ safety wire. (I used to fabricate for a Nasar team so I learned alittle there.) Anyway after it was wired together I powdercoated the whole thing flat black. If you need help w/ one PM me and I will see if I cant get one made for you. I own a paint and powdercoat shop in NC so that helps alittle.

Looks good, 'll probably try something similar once the winters gone. Question, how did you attach the hood release though, doesn't it attach to the back of the grill?

BTW, those are some cool seats you've done as well

Niceeee. I like it on the black/red Sterns too! Im spraying my winter TT wheels that color sceme. Seeing all these new paint jobs is killing me since I have to wait a couple years.

PS. Im lovin your interior too. Very unique.
