Luxy Aristo VIP Style *Progress*

Sup, I started this kit a couple of weeks ago.


Aristo has moveable suspension, sponsered by Skipper JP.

I dont like the rims that came with the kit, so Im using some Amistad Rs. Thanks for the pics Malsheem.





Heres some pics of it from last week. I Primed it on these past Saturday and I finished the interior yesterday.


Neg. camber





Three wheel motion!



Heres what im tryin to go for w/o the black grill and the wheels. Those wheels havent came out yet from Aoshima. Maybe when the come out I might change them.



Comments Welcome!!1

That'll look cool. So all black hey, does the car in the photo have tinted tail lights too?

If only we could stretch our tyres like 1:1!

Damn, look at the camber, you'll be going absolutely nowhere in that car. This will looking absolutely stunning though. Good luck.

I dont know if the the Aristo has tinted tail lights, its out of a VIP Car magazine I believe. I never did find the rear pic of the Aristo. Yes its gonna be all gloss black except for the grill and wheels. Untell the new wheels come out then I will paint them and change it.

Heres the wheels-



I would have to do is paint them. I dont remember the name of them, here it is in jap- レオンハルト オルデン

Hopefully HLJ will have them up again, (for some reason they took them off) for pre-ordering because there supposed to be coming out sometime these month.

The wheels are Leonhardritt Orden's. They are out now, but only in the Fabulous Odyssey kit, not separately.

Do you know what issue of VIP Style that car comes from? I could check my back issues to see if I have it.

One tip, if you're trying to replicate the extreme drop/camber from the pic. 99% of the cars that go that route end up rolling the fenders on the front and back (clearance issues and also for looks). You'll notice that they stick out slightly from stock fenders. Not a big deal, but for complete accuracy.

Hey,

Lookin really cool. The rims fit the car nicely. But I think the tires are on backwards in the chassis pic. If you can get them, those other wheels would look even better. Keep up the great work!

O yea Orden!! Thanks! I dont have any VIP magazines yet, havent got them yet. HEHE

I changed my plans for the Aristo. Im going to keep the same Amistad Rs on there. Im just gonna get another Luxy Aristo to replicate that black one, probably later in the year.

Thanks for the comments!
