Curious as to what's out there, there are so many aftermarket body parts for these cars I'm sure I've missed a few.

Red would be nice .

Cheers,

100% it was. I have friends who worked at GM at the time who always talked about how many of the designers had pictures of the FD hanging in their studios. This is not uncommon either, many manufacturers may borrow bits n pieces from cars (a fender arch a b-pillar, etc) but the C5<>FD3S is uncanny.

That said, only widebody for me are Burnout and/or Chargespeed... although I do like the Origin - they look a lot like C6 fenders - just a tad extreme for me.

Agreed. To tell you the truth I can't stand that (asuka?) kit. IMO is worse than the BRS kit

For all intents and purposes I should love the Chargespeed or Origin kit as to me it doesn't really change the FD lines, it just makes it look like its on steroids. But you know I yet to see one that looks good. It seems that people can't get their wheels to fit right. Something is always off, at least on the examples I've come across.
