Lux Motion Widebody for FR-S

Hello everyone I would like to share some information about the New Wide body that is being developed by Lux Motion. This wide body kit is based off the Rocket Bunny one, it says so in his website. I spoke with the owner of Lux Motion Christopher, and he is currently still at SEMA 2012. Check him out at booth 34274, he's a pretty cool guy.
Price
MSRP $4400 USD

Availability
In the coming weeks

Check him out at his website
Lux-motion.com

Let him know Arturo sent you, thanks and I hope some of this information helped you guys out.

Saw the pics on Facebook. The kit looks so badass here, but not sure how the kit will translate into an everyday car. I need to see one without all the sponsor stickers.

I wonder how different it will look if the pieces are color matched with the body...

I love wide body kits, but i do not understand the reason behind not closing the back of the kit into the body. These kits look almost unfinished because of it. I like the rocket bunny, i like aggressive track styling, but it looks incomplete.

The rear diffuser looks pretty useless IMO. Theres too much turbulence created with those hard corners.

I'd think on a street car, you see more paint damage behind those open back fenders, and the diffuser doesn't suit the cars curves. I like the paint on the hood and roof following the body lines.

front diffusor looks like cardboard, and rear one looks like lego dimensions. Not feeling it at all IMO

I do agree on the rear diffusor, it does look a bit BLOCKY for a car with such smooth curves.

I completely agree.

Can anyone point me in the direction of one installed and paint matched? I really dig the spoiler on it.

Needs to enclose the back of both front and rear tires, and I'm not a big fan of the rivets, would prefer a seamless look.

Otherwise, this thing is badass.

It's based upon the Rocket bunny but this kit is the complete form on rocket bunny IMO. RB kit is aggressive track styling, the lux kit is more of a complete good looking street car at half the price. $4400 installed and painted vs. $5500 + paint and install (at least for the first 5).
