The JDM Life....Build Thread!

[Team Aero-K]

Hey guys, got some news since i moved to British Columbia and left the Sunny South Florida life. I recently purchased and shipped over a 1998 JDM RHD Toyota Aristo V300 Vertex Edition for me to build somewhat VIP. I recently got Married so i can't afford some baller things but i have a feeling it will turn out looking quite nice! Here are a few pics of the car. It is in mint shape and drives mint too!

Some Donk fool will buy those hoser tails because they match their chrome rims.

The only thing left to do is to space out the front by 10mm with longer studs due to sunken battleship look which im not to fond of and Install the Vertex front grill. Need to get different bolts from Home Depot to make it work!
any future updates, pics will be loaded
