Thanks! Yeah I don't know whose it is haha.

Thanks everyone else for the welcomes and compliments!

Here's a few pics of it during the day. I need to raise the rear a tad bit. I scrape everywhere!

You can always do the swap! Although nothing beats a factory one

Been awhile since I've posted anything. I've been super busy at work. Anyways, I installed some 10mm spacers on the rear. Here's a pic. I also put some LED tail lights in as well but no good pics of them yet

Wow, that totally transformed the look of the car in an instant. Nice choice of mods. The rear looks perfect now. Besides scraping, it looked too low compared to the front ride height, but now you have the front and rear perfect. How much is an Aristo going for nowadays in Japan? (In U.S. dollars) Do you have to pay some kind of penaltly tax for cars older than a certain number of years?

Depends on where you get them from, but most of the Aristo's are going for around 5-6000 USD. There is no penalty tax. There is an inspection every two years though and a weight tax fee. Thanks for the compliment too!

Here is a pic of the tail lights and the front spacers on now
