IMSA Kit?

Anybody know who sells this body kit? Its not the one from Black Dragon. It is similar but the BD kit IMO doesn't look as good.

I know the hood is custom, I'm not sure about where to get the kit though.

I believe it is a one off japanese creation. Very nice looking kit, but don't think it's available to purchase.

If I were to get a kit for a car, I would go with a racing GTO-1 kit. They seem to have the nicest look.

I've had pics of this car for I don't know how long and speedhunters did a small cover on them some time ago but I know the car is apart of a group called 22C Works and you might have some luck digging through their website to find something on the car:

Mariah still makes one that is in their racing catalog in fact they make a couple in their racing catalog including the correct rear wing like this one. However their noses are different this one is unique it has the old school widebody fender scallop that really defines the whole nose

This is the first I have seen anything like this on this car. Very cool!

To me it looks like it is still a one off? Judging by that link it just looks like they painted the black car red?

note the RB stuff is for an SA, if you want the FB front bumper, you'd have to do something like the speedhunter car

Yes it is the same car. I think black looks 1000x better IMO

x2 The Red with the yellow decals isnt doing it for me. Maybe if the change the decal color but IMO The black was the best. And thanks for the vids.

Mazda Comp sells the actual IMSA parts. Or at least they did. Nice quality. But does need a lot of fitment. I still have the wing on my car and boy does it work!
