Default I had some free time today so...

I decided to test fit some new mods.

Luckily for me James (pxrlex) was able to help me take apart the car. Tearing a car apart is much easier when there are two.

Thanks to Anna (miss_IS300) and Lloyd for shooting some pictures while we were working.



Nice and snug fit. Almost no modifications to the bumper needed except for widening a few holes for the factory bolts.



Decided on changing out to the Aristo fenders.



Who's that in the background?

Side skirts, fender and front bumper removed.



Rewired the side marker for the new fender. Nice and clean.



Side view. You may see one piece missing from the front of the car. That was purposely done, since it is going to get painted. That little fender piece is a pain to take off so we left it off.



The Aristo fenders are slightly wider than the US fenders. Time for spacers or ...


Well that is all for now. There are way more pictures but it was a long day.

Air is a later stage, but with this kit it is needed. Right now my front bumper is 3.5 inches from the ground, so I either raise it up a little to be able to drive around or just go air soon than expected...
