Where can you buy the rear bumper? That center exhaust setup looks wicked.

Love the mechanicals but that is a heckuva FUGLY car. The rearend is the equivalent of a severely prolapsed uterus or an external **** sphincter with feces halfway out...yayyy

As the saying goes: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Im not a big fan of body kits but this kit is pretty sweet. Its a nice change from all the drift style body kits out there. Are there any interior shots of the car?

I considered getting this kit for my 20b FD project but I just don't like the front enough. Its still not off the table though.. I've got some other very sweet ideas though.

some of you guys are just hillarious... You act like you guys are the ones that actually designed the car and thus take it to heart whenever any one does anything to change your creation.

Bottom line is: RE Amemiya made this kit right, it flows with the car. Meaning that it does not look tacked on like MOST kits out there. It's good work even if you don't like it.

The body kit/upgrade flows well with the car IMO. Why make a badass fd look like every other fd on the road?

I am personally not a fan of body kits, especially on the FD because the cars lines are the best of any car in my opinion.If the point was to really make it stand out then they achieved their objective, good or bad?

anybody with pictures of the interior? or better yet, does anyone know what kind of Brides those are?

i think the car looks good. Amemiya-san is a true artist, and just like art, not everyone's going to like it. and i'm sure he doesnt design it for everyone. it's the best bug eyed look that i've seen on a FD. im not a big fan of the rear end, but that's ok. i like the exhaust design, but can imagine it doesnt create as much back pressure as a straight out exhaust system, but it looks cool none the less. thanks for the pictures, guys.

Actually now that I'm looking at it more closely the orange car is not the same kit at all. The front bumper is different, the sideskirts are different, diff mirror setup etc. just looks like the 20b FD's kit at first glance. Maybe it was the concept kit car.

orange could be 1 persons answer to wanting the bumper but deciding to use parts he already had(ss, fenders, hood).

edit: then again maybe not...

I think it looks more like the Panoz Esperante than any Porsche. It has the Porsche lights but still the front engine, long hood, short rear deck look of the classic sports GTs. The Panoz comes with that style of headlights and has 'RX7 like' proportions
