That's not a kit... everything you see there is custom work.

Kit is a big waste of money, why bother with all that flash, when you can stick with stock look or something clean.

Agreed. &nbsp;For that money you could turbo the ka or swap for an sr...IMHO that thing looks fugly anyways. &nbsp;There is a point where it gets to be too much flare and that is wayyyyyyyy beyond that point.

Well i'm not one for the overt, but, I dig that face and bod. &nbsp; Finally looks to go along with the balls. &nbsp;I've seen pics of this kit , but that calendar shot does it.

I mean you got a 240 because it's a sports car right? &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; If you got the performance to back it up why not. &nbsp;I'll admit, as far as widebody goes that's pretty extreme, But it's still way sexy.

I wouldnt have the spoiler though. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>

The engine was probably built up before the body was done. &nbsp;I guess when you have money you do things like that to your car. &nbsp;I wonder whats under the hood.

in japan people go for that style.. i think its tight.. &nbsp;but if i had a car that looked like that the engine better be able to back up the looks...

HOLY JEEBUS! can that car be any more shiny.......I personally think the hood is horrid and that black rubber thing over the front fender looks so dumb. Its too flashy for me. i rather either go for a stock look or a nice non-flashy body kit....

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! &nbsp;That is a straight up downforce machine. &nbsp;True it is way too extravigant for the streets, but that isn't were i would use that kit. &nbsp;The wider body lets you get some insanely wide tires uner the fenders, the large brake vents keep brake temperatures down, and the large mouth in front keeps the intake charge nice and cool. &nbsp;The hood is a little ovekill, but functional at releasing hot air from under the hood. &nbsp;Stop nit picking and just admire it's beauty!

It's got a definite Deuche Touring Championship look to it (I think that is what it is called <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> ) &nbsp;If it were a track beast and didn't have the ugly plastic piece on the hood and flares then it wouldn't look so bad but I think that all the flash is not functional and that makes it look bad. &nbsp;Function before form is the only way to go for me

That is one BAD mofo. It is not all looks. It has the grunt to back it. You don't get in the Option 2 calendar for show. Nor do you become one of the most popular cars at the Tokyo Auto Salon. It is a custom job by a tuning shop Agasthiya. People are "offering" kits that they probably can't even come close to reproducing. And those wheels are Regamaster Evo's.

Some ppl disagree but if ur in japan and u do some of that highway racing on the tokyo express. That car is a downforced beast. I am pretty sure it had the engine to back up its looks. Also all that black jus might be carbon/kevlar mix. We dont noe cus its tooo shiny to really tell. But i like it if i was in japan i would do something like that.

Aren't there hood clearence problems with the Skyline 6's? &nbsp; &nbsp; Ha. That would be slick. &nbsp;It looks like the N-1 endurance Race cars in Japan Like the Daishen(sp) S-15 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; or some street race equivalent. &nbsp; I mean it can't be DTM right? &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; JTM?? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

The car can definatly back up its looks. I have personally seen that car up close at the 2000 tokyo auto saloon. The car has 500+ horsepower. Dont remember the specifics but it is fast.

^^^^^Looks like a miata


I wouldnt even bother trying to get the DTM kit thing. It is all custom, I know it is sold but might not be anymore. If anything they will have to make the kit. Last I heard it was really expensive. Not as expensive as the Supra ABFlug kit though (thats just insane).

importfan used to sell that kit but i dont see it on there anymore. &nbsp;personally i think it is ass ugly but i kinda like the one on the jaquemond site. &nbsp;its nice and wide and clean. &nbsp;i wouldnt buy it, but i think it looks good. &nbsp;perosonally i'm a bigger fan of kits that have a purpose like c-west and gp sports.Gp Sports (http://www.gpsports.co.jp/180typeRfront.htm) &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'>
