Who makes the kit for the front half of this car?

Look at this car featured in the july issue of turbo mag.
http://www.turbomagazine.com/images/...r_shape_01.jpg
Who makes that front bumper and who makes the headlight conversion. it is differnt then the ones i have seen. Also does anyone know about the Pettit fenders that are on that car to make the wheel wells bigger. Do the side skirts come with them, how much, and do the fronts come with it? Damn thats a lot of questions. thanks for the help.

The pettit rear flares do make the rear wells bigger if installed right. You'd actually be cutting the rear quarter to install them so once you put them on there is no going back. I think you can get something like a 18x12 or 18x13 rear wheel in there with those on. Pettit sells 2 versions of the rear flares, a race version which block the fuel door and in which you'd probably use a fuel cell, and they sell a street version which has a cut-out for the fuel door. The front and sideskirts are R-Magic. You can get them from www.rxecret7.com or from http://www.jt-imports.com/U.S.Atop.htm

Do a search for Pettit Flares or Pettit Rear Flares and you should come up with some more pics..

The headlights BTW are R-Magic as well..

area51's old car...

I didn't read the whole article...did the mention that they didn't have anything to do with most of the work....slap on a normal rear suspension and change the front bumper and wheels and call it new.
