Default Another Indonesian Aristo playa'

This guy is a friend of a friend. Just found his car surfing the indonesian car mod site. Apparently he's sporting the same autocouture wheels as mine but in 20s....What do you think? I am not feelin' it too much but I am gonna hunt him down anyway....

Yeah, I found out that it's actually carbon fiber laid over a fiberglass mould of the original trunk....so basically twice the thickness that makes it look like it doesn't fit right on the car.

Like I said, I am not feelin' it.

The kit looks like a copy of L-Sportsline or some sort.

Let us know if you find out anything about the kit Jon. It does not look too much like the L-Sportline to me. We need a side shot. The kit is pretty subtle, maybe too subtle but it would still be nice to know details.

Default hmm...

the car itself is not too bad... the cf hood is okay... im really not feelin the cf trunk though... it clashes with the white and the red inner tail.... just my $0.02... but the car overall doesn't look too bad...

i know he has your same wheels but in 20's... but i think i'll need a sideshot of the car inorder to determine anything... on your car... the rims look awesome... not sure how they's look with that carbon fiber gig...

overall... its a ok!

I am not feeling the raw carbon fiber. The car would look much better all white.

But to each his own....

IM not really liken the BLACK side mirrors. However, I do like thr front bumper, It seems like there should be something in between the fogs, and the front slats??

That's the problem. It's carbonfiber LAID OVER on STOCK hood. Not minimizing weight, but in fact ADDING more weight and making the hood TWICE as thick....

....I can already see the direction this guy is taking with his car......and it's not a good direction.


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.
