As for the kit, it looks like a copy or some sort of some other kit made for other car that's made to fit the aristo.
good point there, now that makes him into a real poser

so there is no name for the kit? umm...

I agree with Jon, i don't like it. The only thing he's got going for him is that he has the same wheels as Jon does, in 20". That's about it. The CF lay-over doesn't look good at all and seems pointless other than looks, b/c most people get CF for weight reduction.

looks like a molded/modified autocouture kit to me.......that trunk is definately a no go....

im partial to cf but in my opinion it does not belong on a white car, unless its a race-ready sportster.

Carbon fiber on a lex just doesn't cut it for me. Starts looking like a ricer, a Honda or something.

I CAN ONLY DREAM to ever be like these guys one day....they are ALL sporting CF hoods and 4 doors.


(disclaimer: This post HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO with the first Aristo that I posted on the 1st page of this thread.....that I don't like by the way)

That 1st pic of the hood looks different. Does it have a buldge thingy?
