Hey JT, everything is looking great...I was expecting to see some minor fitment flaws...but it looks to me that everything is fitting like a glove just like stock....I noticed even the wing has an indention below it to fit the stock "L" emblem in the appropriate location.....
besides the fact that im jealous....I really like what you have done! great job ....great car.....great member to CL for providing us with pics and a step-by-step process of what it means to be overly compulsive about our cars...

that's very nice jon. i have been drooling over the couple of pics a lot tonight. the front is very nice imho, very nicely put and te lines are very nice. the sides are good too, maybe it can use some more defined lines, now it's a bit too smooth i guess.
the door caps are a big plus. though thats probably also the part i don't like omst, coz' it comes out quite a bit and the upper part of the door actually starts to cave in already, making it kinda weird in certain angles
the rear i like it a lot, the lines are very nice, better than a lot of kits i have seen. i kinda wonder what it would look with other exhuast though, coz' now obviously it's only for your exhaust setup
the rear wing is ok. looks to me that the center part dips down a bit for some reason?
overall, a++ )

Anyway, about the door caps: Both the shop and I noticed that the upper part doesn't really start caving in until almost at the top of the chrome line. I just told them to smooth it out toward the bottom so it doesn't look too caved in. I also told them not to make it extreme like the IMC kit because that's just *cough* ghey. Anyway, the end result is an almost stock looking door caps, even BitKahuna didn't know that the doorcaps were already replaced!
About the rear wing: The center part dips a little towards to middle because I want a little flair just to be different. They made me a few different types and I like this the best because the flat ones are too boxy looking and too stiff, not very Aristo-like.
About the rear bumper: Nah, don't worry about the exhaust outlet, it should be pretty standard as with all other exhausts. Mine's the RSR exhaust that has the same outlet placement as the TRD (my previous exhaust) and HKS (seen on other cars).
All in all, thanks a lot bro!

about the door caps, how about making another caps on top of the upper one as well? wont' that solve all the problem then?
bling bling bling...about the rear wing, point well taken. as long as that's what you looking for, you achived that to perfection i say. coz' people can see it dips down a bit, but it's not like people would go "ah see, this is ugly". good job!
do you still have the trd exhaust btw?
oh, i also noticed that you probably raised the car up a tad to clear the kit more easily huh? i am curious if you scrap with your new kit already? maybe you shoul djust go 20s man, that's another 1" clearance for you, not a bad idea. after i went to 20s i feel a lot more comfortable going around

Rear wing: Thanks!
TRD exhaust: Sold to my friend with the IMC widebody kit.
Raising my car: Nope, the back is still 3/4 of the way down to the end. The front is on stock shocks and H&R springs since I blew my HKS fronts. That's probably why the car looked a lil higher.
20s wheels: I am broke, after what I just spent on my "next mod".
