or red. Color is kind of screwed up, but you begin to get the idea.

All semi custom, the bumper is a 2nd gen knock off of the MS 3rd gen piece as is the hood roughly 10 of each exist, the wide body kit is tripoint, they are not making it right now, but pm me, maybe I can help(reasonable) The cost for going wide body, is around 6500.00 including wheels and tires flares, nose, `2000.00 body work, and hood. the hood will be available check the group buy section, the nose comes up for sale every once in a while, look for "2nd gen GTC bumper".
Not a budget kit. Carl

Sweet. That's not that bad of a price all things considered. When we have one of the other cars running and can put hers down again, we're there! Thanks for the info Carl.

I like blue, red looks sweet as well, but maybe you should have more that one color on the car. I am going silver and black on mine.
Hey Carl, will you ever be racing in Norther Cali, or Oregon maybe? I would love to see your car in person

And Keep the pics coming.

I prefer blues on it, we'll see, the paint is free, if it's red(semi sponser), so I am leaning that way, maybe S2000 red.

j200, I race mainly at Thunderhill, and Sears, starting next spring 8-10 times a year. Sometimes Laguna, and maybe I will try some central cal tracks once I get a trailer.

Yes and no. Yes right now or at least a month or so ago they did not have any kits available. They had an issue the FG fabber regarding the FD airbox that they make. Hence they pulled the molds from that fabber and will/are looking for a new FG fabber.

When I tt Mark, he thought they should be back in production near the end of the year.

The wing, coming to a car near you
http://www.aprperformance.com/images.../AS-106757.jpg
67" wide, 13" tall, I will be making custom pedestals similar to the RE wing, but at ~800.00 it is 600.00 less than the RE piece in CF
