Default Tom's VA300 Aristo in the flesh JZS161

Hey Folks I wanted to share some pictures I took of an authentic Tom's Aristo. On paper the upgrades are minor but they make a big difference in the overall character and performance of the car. Why we never got the gs300 with 2jzgte power is a shame.

Tom's parts include Front Bumper, Rear Bumper Lower Diffuser, Exhaust, Suspension, Wheels, Upper Strut Bar, Lower Front Subframe Brace, Gauge Cluster, ECU

Way cool. The Tom's Aristo is one of the major inspirations for how I am modifying my GS430. Wish I had a chance in hell of being able to afford a Tom's bumper though.
