Looks good, but what's going on with your paint around the hood ornament?

Update:

I have a lot think in past about change the car back to factory original or stay with newer look that I update with VS garnish and tail light and interior etc. So I will post the update of stato, and I would like to have opinion about it.

What do you guys think? I would like to have opinion about it

looking good. I've always been a fan of the VR-VS statesman hence why I got one too.

looks just like my VR when I got it so a good start.

I did what you are talking about, I changed the look of mine to make it look "newer". the easiest way to do this is to get yourself a series 3 boot garnish and matching lights, but the garnishs tend to be hard to find in good nick and not cheap either. I paid $700 for a new second hand garnish (the bit between the lights on the bootlid) and another $250 for a new set of lights. the newer style looks the same, but with chrome trimming arownd the outside and "statesman" written along the middle.

clear side and front indicators also set it off well and make it look tidier. I also decided to remove the pinstripes from mine too and add some chrome exhaust tips. My statesman also came with extra dark tint on the sides and opera windows and it looks gangsta as, the contrast from the white to the dark windows is rather pleasing.

less is always more with statesmans, they are solid looking long cars with straight lines and are supposed to be appreciated as such.

check out my thread, it's full of pictures of my VR. it's even the same colour as yours!

I own a 94 Stato 5 L, burgundy over anthracite.. Stock as atm, interior is mint and body only has a finger nail sized dent barely noticeable. Ive got mods for her but want to keep her fairly original,few minor but just updating her comfortability. I am after a stock tape deck and cd stacker unit as mine was removed prior to purchase, i wanna use my steer wheel controls !!
