Nice, very nice. Something I always wanted to do but haven't get the chance yet. That is cool how your front clip came completed. Just wondering how much that clip cost if you don't mind. The reason I ask because I would love to have the motor swap plus front JDM bumper, headlights, strut bar and all other mods. Overall this would be cheaper. If it happen to come with the same color, wow save more money. Seeing more 1st Gen GS owner doing 2JZ-GTE swap make me itch to do one for myself. Anyhow, congrats on your project.

^^^^ posted the cost of the clip early in the thread it was 2,711.00 shipped to my door.
but if i had to sit down and add everything up it would prob be just over 3k to do it all


and thanks for the complement

The mounts are the same since the bottom end/chasis is the same as the Aristo.
You don't need to change the bumper for the intercooler to fit.
