Default Anyone ever heard of a K Break Body Kit?

Hey guys,

So I was cruising around ebay and found this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-L...spagenameZWDVW

Anyone ever heard of this kit before? Ebay sellers are known for not really knowing what vehicle body kits belong to on occasion, but this seems ok even though I've never heard of it. And if you have heard of it, do you happen to have pictures of this kit on a GS?

I might ****** this up if it looks good.

Wow! I've never seen the K-Break for the JZS147. It must be really old and out of production since they don't even have it listed on their site.

hey wait a minute seize.

I checked that K-break site in the AERO section and the one in the ebay auction looks like the second Celsior picture.

On top of that, in the picture thread, YupImJoe said there was a Kbreak kit in there. I checked and the most recent picture put on was the kbreak first celsior kit on a 1GS. That ebay one looks like the second because it doesn't have those high clear turn signals on it.

Do you think thats right? And if it is, does the celsior kit fit the GS?

I saw it too. It looks like it'll need some glass work.

i'm thinking this might not be for our cars.
I didnt see 1UZ I saw a 1JZ but regardless, if its a jzs147 or 143 its the same body.

looks more like the "first edition" aero for the uzs141 majesta:


now compare to the one in the ebay auction:


the rear bumper does not have the rear license box, so it's most likely the uzs141 kit. one thing i've noticed when browsing YJ auctions, i get a lot of results for 141 majesta when searching for 143/147 aristo. also, the ebay auction states 91-95 aristo. i believe the 141 majesta was made between 91-95.

K-Break is a dope brand. But they have never made a body kit for the JZS147 GS300/Aristo. That one I can pretty much guarantee its for the Crown Majesta as Krammy-toe said. Who ever ended up winning that bid is going to have a rude awakening. I guess whoever bought it can file a claim back through paypal for misrepresentation.
