Default Some new bodykits...

Some people might have noticed that I added a few bodykits to the FAQ. I was reading through back issues of Option2 magazine, VIP Style, and some other JDM performance mag, and I found a couple of pics of SCs with unfamiliar kits. I was able to identify these kits: Aero Palace (two styles), Diana Godfather, Classy Sport Design, Stage Jack, Sankou Omega, and a second style of the T&E Vertex. So far I only found a website with info from Aero Palace. That means I still need pics and websites for...

- Diana Godfather (they make a lot of VIP kits and wheels, but I still can't find their site)

- Classy Sport Design (very elusive company)

- Stage Jack (they had this url on their print ad, but it leads me no where: http://www.stage21.co.jp/ )

- T&E Vertex I have the site, but they don't show the second style of their kit here (T&E is owned by CarMake but I couldn't locate their site either)

- Sankou Omega were the words written all over this kitted car. I'm not sure the kit is named this way but the writing followed all the spots other kit makers put their logos

Thanks Vegas! Funny thing is I've been to that page before now that I've seen it. It finally dawned on me to click the "For PC" link (all this time I assumed it'd be in "For Mobile" ). They also have a second variation of the kit you posted, located here: http://www.gooparts.com/sr/desc/desc...36D20020808003

Yes kit makers usually have two styles of kits to mimic two distinct bodystyles. In the case of the Soarer, they use a 92-96 style and a 97-00 style. You can tell by the shape of the foglight inserts they use, the style of tail lights on the model car they use, the style of the kit's spoiler, and the presence of the upper grille insert on the kit, etc. A lot of the 92-96 models use clip-ons instead of full replacements when they can get away with it.

Hello. I'm new to this forum. I noticed your post about not being able to find the site for Diana Godfather. I don't know if you have found it yet but if not, the web address is http://www.insurance-group.net. The Insurance Group are the umbrella name for a number of smaller companies with Diana Godfather being one of them.

thats a pretty cool site. they also have kits of what that one member did, with the 4 or 5 white LED's shining at the floor when the doors open. they sell a kit to do that.

probably because this was posted in 2003 ! ha

I like the diana flares but the fronts looking like they would need some work to fit flush over the crease in the body
