The body color when wheel color combo looks pretty good. I look forward to seeing more progress. You're off to a great start!

I looked on the Door jam and found out my paint code is IC6. Which is Dark Grey Mica Metallic Pearl. Wow that's a mouthful!

Thank you!
And Yes, I'm running a bit much of camber, just to get it to fit right. I plan on just going back to O. Ill have to run smaller wheel spaces so I wont rub. The Negative camber was a part time thing, just to try it out, and that is as low as I'll go. I'm only that low because 90% of the roads I drive on are not to bad on my side of town that is, and there are no speed bumps in my neighbor hood, so going in and out is a breeze, and my driveway has plenty of slope, can drive straight up it. Most areas I drive, I don't even have to take sideways. And yes! I do want tint now, I had junction produce window curtains so I didn't want tint at the time, sold them to have some cash to fund the wheels. But now with this Texas summer coming, I'm gonna need to get some tint. The legal limit in Texas is 25%. Possibly might get that much, maybe a bit less.

welcome to CL. Nice ride! I've got some Aristo Badges too but I haven't put them on my car after paint. I wasn't sure if they were EDM,JDM or even TDM (Taiwan domestic market) badges. How can you tell the difference? I don't want to seem like a rookie telling people they are EDM, etc.... without knowing the truth. Is there a part # difference?

The JP pillows look so comfy! I just wanna lay my head on them and take a nap.

I'm just assuming they are the JDM ones. I can't really tell to be honest. I might look into that for the same reasons. And yes, the JP pillows are very worth it. Belive it or not, they are incredibly comfy! But I keep them in the car at all times, I really don't want to get them dirty.

The fenders are different colors because the previous owner tried to roll them, and they were really bad. So I just picked up a used set of fenders and rolled them myself.... well, with the help of a friend to. Lol.

Yes, I'm aware of the dent, I was hoping no one would notice. When I get the fenders painted, Ill have that all touched up to. And Ssssshhhh! People ask me, Hey I've never heard of a Toyota "ARISTIO" And I'm like, Well really its a Lexus, and pronounced Aristo. Sometimes I mess with people and just say, "Oh yeah, they are out there!"
