There are not many Aristo in U.S. if you mean the "real" Aristo. I've seen people putting "Aristo V430" on their cars and other combination. If you don't have an Aristo, don't fake it.

I think so far Club Lexus is the most organized club for Lexus and people could have the best deals on Lexus parts. If you want, you could create a GS division or something.

i think i have an S300, it is exaclty like an S300 except its not LHD...

Technically, anyone who drives the 1st and 2nd generation GS's has an Aristo. Remember that in Japan, the Aristos come in N/A and twin-sequential turbo trims... the JDM just doesn't have GS400's and GS430's. I understand S300s and even S400's/S430s. I just don't think a lot of people on the streets deserve to wear the V300 badge. It's almost as bad as non-VTEC Civics and Integras with DOHC VTEC badging.

anyone wanna buy a non-sticking V300 emblem cheap?

RacingAristo

I've seen so many lately and even think about posting their license numbers on the web cuz I'm so pissed.

I've tried looking for a S300 emblem but nowhere to be found...and I don't want to be ghetto and cut it off the S off the GS. I know V300 is widely available..anyone have any luck finding the S300?

Hahahahahahaha.

I was in your shoe a while ago.

I had some connections and checked with Netz Toyota in Chiba, Japan.

Aristo S300s don't have S300 emblems. All they get is V300 emblems for V300s, and for S300s they don't have any S300 badges.

I'm trying to be ghetto now and cut the S off the GS. Still trying to find a way to make it look right.

I have a question for yah, why pretend to be something when actually you aren't.

I raced some M3 before and after the race, I found out that they just had the M3 bodykit and the badge so they look like a M3 but they really are 328 manuel.

If you go check the BMWs in Taiwan, 1 out of 3 E36 3 series will be badged M3 and M3 kit and stuff but somehow they always forget to change the mirrors.

I've seen an M5 badged 528/540 in SGV. full M5 kit and rims but I don't think any M5 owner would replace the quad exhaust with some 1-sided 525-looking muffler.

I got the V300 emblem from my uncle and he told me that he couldn't get the S300...... I thought they were just sold out or something so I just had v300 slapped on for temporary time (at that time I can't think of ANYONE who will buy them off me...... didn't even know ClubLexus).

Now I gotta do the GHETTO way of cuttin the G from the S.

V300, what is your stand on a 2JZ-GTE engine swap, or a turbo upgrade on a GE motor? that surely would be V300 badgeble right?

lets say i bored the car out to 3.2 would V320 be bad? haha

i dunno i'll probobly just leave it debadged people can geuess from the TISS

thats not for a long *** time though

what do you have on your car?

RacingAristo

Good idea. Perhaps I could also search their names @ DMV's database and post their names. I'm really pissed.
