RE Amemiya AC987 Rear Bumper.

Looks good on some cars, and wingless.

But it is expensive, about $1700 including everything with the lights.

I think the original FD rear looks slick and newer; that RE rear makes the car look more aged.

The red one is a different kit that does not go with that rear.

I've seen it in person, i have mixed feelings about it. I don not believe its DOT approved for street use in the US so you'd have to check your governments regulations if you seriously consider it.

Do Not Want.

The rear tails look like new beetle lamps.

The front looks like a porsche.

Agreed: "KILL WITH FIRE"

That rear does not go with those two fronts. The rear for those fronts has a middle exhaust exit in the rear and not on the side like that two round light rear. That's the kit that makes it look like a viper.

Top Fuel Made the body kit for use by tuning shop REVOLUTION for their 20b N/A pushing 460ps. Tokyo Extreme Racer also had it in the game.

Top Fuel Racing and Revolution are completely different shops.

This kit is made by RE-Amemiya (Fronts and Rears).

Top Fuel Racing made the Viper inspired kit for the FD3S.

Revolution mainly uses RE-Amemiya Body parts for their FD3Ss, or they make them all in house out of dry carbon.

Removed the best, most distinctive detail on the car—the OE taillight design.
