IMSA GTU wide-body

Does anybody know where they sell these at or if they even sell them? I can't find them to save my life.

The one you are looking for can still be found at Mariah Motorsports. Don't confuse it with the Mode 1 kit that many people have. They actually call it the MK II GTU style kit. It is a bit hard to find on their website. You'll have to go to products on the left side, then click on exterior, then to the '89-'92 section. Click on the GTO II kit near the bottom and it will take you to the page with the 1st gen race widebody kits. It makes no sense but that's where it is.

Here's some pics of the Mariah Mark II GTU kit, for quick reference. $1881 without including the shipping cost. I don't know about that, but the VB kit seems to be the best bargain (with the right wheels of course). All depends on what your looking for and what your trying to achieve(performance, looks, or both), I guess.

I bought this car about 3 weeks ago as a rolling chassis, I am swapping my engine (for the time being) and tranny from my GSL, grey interior, black limo tinted hatch glass, glass moonroof, etc etc etc.... I also ordered the tires today! Cheaper then I was expecting too ($500 USD, for 315/35/17 for the rear and 275/40/17 for the fronts).

Sorry about how the car is dirty in some of the pictures, these were taken just after I picked it up and got it...

heres a link to my cardomain site for more pictures, like I said, please ignore the fact that the car is EXTREMELY dirty in the pictures, it actually cleaned up very nicely and with wax looks awesome!

I personally would love to see the Mariah GTO I body kit but with the VB rear fenders. That would be pretty kick ***.

Here's a link to a post, from this forum, regarding a true IMSA Rx7 pacecar, widebody, that has been and is still for sale, I think. Not to sure about the details of the kit and if it came from Mazda with the kit installed, it's a beauty.
