i guess the reason why the company use black color demo cars is because it hide the flaws better...white color cars show all the fitment flaws of the kit.

im not sure about the difference between usdm vs jdm body panels, but i do know that for the tsx the front bumpers and some rear bumpers differ from the usdm versions, so when we try to put a jdm grille on the usdm bumper the fitment isn't perfect. it could be a possibility that the aristo has tiny differences as well causing the imperfect fitment on the jp kit. regardless i didnt notice anything until you said that. but fitment flaws are bound to happen bc theyre mass produced. i know most of the origin bodykits dont fit perfectly either.

sorry i was talking about the gs and not the tsx. if you see his door caps and the small piece below his fender you will know what i mean. the jdm and usdm version are the same on those pieces. you are right because they are mass produce thus the manufacture always say "you" will need to prepare them before paint. in this case you can see the bodyshop didn't really correct the problem before painting it.

i was only using the differences in the body of the tsx as an example. i was talking about his car, but you dont notice it unless you nitpick at it.
