Looking to buy an GSL-SE

Hi guys, I'm just planning on buying a GSL-SE hopefully this summer, and I already have a basic idea of what I'm going to do with it. So I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I could pick up the wide body fenders...and the wing on this car:



I'm planning to go black, with gold bolts to attach the fenders...and gold mesh BBS rims.

If you're wanting those exact bodykit pieces, you'll have two problems:

1. locating the kit pieces

2. Getting them to fit a GSL-SE (or any 1981 and up 1st gen, for that matter)

Well i'm willing to settle for a 12A...i really don't mind. I want that kit though. And I know it's hard to locate...which is why I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find them. Or if there's a similar kit for the GSL-SE...i'm willing to look into it. I'm pretty hooked on that kit though.

there is absolutaly no differnce in the body of an 81-85 13b and 12a fb. The kit would fit exactly the same on a gslse as it would on the 12a counterpart. There is however one difference, and that is the lug pattern. THe gslse is 4 x 114.3 and the 12a is 4 x 110. So your problem would be getting the right wheels.

you have to remember that was almost 30 years ago - While it's possible someone is producing a replica of the kit, you may have to settle for something similar.

That is one of the early, true, IMSA packages. I don't think it's been in production for years. ISC Racing sells a kit that's close.
