There is no way that is the tamon design kit fenders and rears. they are too wide. they might have started with the tamon kit but widened it perhaps. I do agree on the rear bumper being almost identical to the tamon kit but I also think that was widened. easy way to see what I mean is to go check the image of tamons car on there site or someones photo of their tamon kit and look at the side skirts. they stick out a good ways on the side and the way they role into the rear quarters is nothing like the tamon kit. I will meet you half way and say it might be a tamon kit they widened with a different front bumper though.
If you have pics of any tamon kit that looks that wide, please post em up. I am interested in this kit very much.

this is the tech-art's front bumper...i think that it's a blend between the tech-arts and the tamon stuff

jwilliam- I will admit when I am wrong. still looks like like they widened the kit to me though. it doesn't say much other then that full aero tamon statement. they still could have widened that kit for the car but thats just me. maybe the graphics are creating an optical illusion that makes it look wider. lol.
I'm still going to make my kit building off the 225 fenders and skirts. probably going to make a plug of the rear quarters as I haven't really seen any I like 100%. another reason I am not buying the tamon kit it is from japan and a lot more expensive, especially since I only really want the fenders and rear bumper and you have to buy the whole big mess just to get those.
I'm using an FD aftermarket front bumper that I am modifying to blend into the 225 fenders. I am chopping the front of the fenders like 10" back from the front at least and fiberglassing my own to curve the line of the car into the bumper. I still need to make sketches of what I actually want but I did a quick photoshop of the bumper I want on an FC with tamon fenders and I think it looked better then I had hoped

id still like to see someone pull off the fd front better.. the lights just need to be just a tid bit lower and more towards the outside in my opinion.. they look awkward at that angle. That blue track racer was ok, but it used majority of the fd bumper, which when looked at a different angle, it looks odd. Should do a FC bumper *possibly GP*, but smoothed out on the moldings filled in, with the FD lights at just the right angle.

after extensive comparing between many photos of the tamon kit and that purple tec-art fc, I have discovered that jwilliam and I are both right. Those are indeed the tamon design front and rear fenders as is the rear bumper and diffuser. what is different and modified is the front bumper and the side skirts. the side skirts are widened a bit more then the tamon's and there is a canard on the rear of them. the front bumper is that tec-art one probably. anyway, the fenders probably aren't widened but the side skirt makes it look like they are I guess. so there is my conclusion. I hope that jwilliam, you will agree with this as I beleive it is the most likely conclusion. BTW, I'm not arguing here either. I just am curious to what they did because this is my favorite FC.

that car, for the most part, is awesome. hate the spoiler and the front bumper could have been better. thats what I want my fenders to be like though. and my headlight opening will be like that, the same height and style.
