Can anyone name this FC body kit?

As the title says, can anyone name this body kit? I found this in vaughnNC's imagestation collection and it says "tall" in the title, but i did a search and nothing came up.

is this a one off kit?

Thanks in Advance.

Its a custom kit, if you look you'll see the front is actually using 3rd gen fenders, bumper and hood.

Just about as ugly as it gets. And yes that is a one-off custom job.

I agree. the FC is not a car for a wing... i dont even see room to mount on of those things... but im a huge FD fan... but up here in canada they are still quite $$$.... if i could get an FC with this front end it'd be cheaper and within my price range and id be able to join the rotary family with out the wife killing me LOL.

An FC with an FD front end would actually not be that cheap to do. The parts alone to do it would be around $1000 or more depending on what kind of kit you wanted in the front. Then to have the custom work done would cost you a good $2000-$3000 maybe more. But you would have a different lookin FC

well i can get an FC here for 3-4G's... with the body in good condition... and FD will cost me 18-25G's...

so an FC will allow me an extra 15G's to play with enough to clean up the body do a conversion if needed and do some fun stuff to the motor/brakes and suspension

IMO that just makes the car look TOO big. Just by a bit.

the only kind of wind i like on a 7 is the stock TII wrap around wing.

as for the body kit. its looks ok. i like the front end but i dont like the way the car looks slammed to the ground with HUGE wheels. just looks tacky to me

There's an RE-A whale tale that I really like, it's just a bit taller (1/2" or so) and sticks out to the sides a little more, I really really dig it.

I like the front also...not a fan of the wings though, stock wings are sufficient.

So by any chance does anyone know who's car that is?

im just interested in the front... end... i think it could look a better with better rims and a better colour and a better wing that suits the car... there is no ledge behind the window so that thing must be mounted on the rear bumper??!??!?!?
