GP Sports?

I dunno if this has been mentioned?

Looks like another Japan manufacturer is trying the US markets..

GP Sports has been a maker of S13/S14/S15 body kits, so the Silvia crowd should recognize the name...

http://www.gpsports-na.com

Now, the FC3S body kit is kinda buried...
The good news?&nbsp Initial reports have this body kit prices around $2,000!
http://www.gpsports-na.com/aero/type4.htm

Last three pics...

For the lazy...

I'm surprised
I haven't known yet.
I know well well well about GP sports owner,Mr. Komagata.
He is my friend.
He is a very talented race car driver.
Last month, we met at Maze circuit.
And had dinner.
He didn't say about this.

I haven't known....

Do you want a discount price I could offer you?
I can phone him right now.

I'm not one for body kits, but the nose on that kit looks pretty tasty!

This kit was brought up last week. There was quite a thread about it. It will be in the states in 2 months and the full kit w/out wing is $1,800+

The front clip is only 700. I don't know if that is a good price or not, and it's a four month wait. I DONT KNOW!

$1,800 is a good price? That's almost the same price as any other expensive Japanese body kit.

Waaaaay too much to spend on a body kit that does'nt really do anything for the most part. :shrug: I'm all about the replica kits.

Does anyone know if the front is a whole new skin or if it is just a "lower half" replacement? TIA.

Actually, 1800 IS good. The RE2000 front bumper costs that much alone!

Well when you compare it to something like that! Especially RE's nutty prices sure it seems cheap.

I just can't justify that kind of spendy on the body I guess.

Pretty sure it's an entire bumper cover (facia).

I would really like to see that kit in different colors. I really like that kit a lot.

Maybe it's the nasty 18" chrome wheels!!!!

Those don't belong on an FC! lol. They probably just put those on to make fun of us supid Americans.
