3 months ago we embarked on the FR-S SEMA build.

Initially the concept was the the Rocket Bunny/Greddy aero kit. After finding out numerous of Rocket Bunny cars all being built for SEMA, we decided to go a different route by attempting to create an entire aero kit from scratch.

After numerous concept drawings from our talented designer, we agreed and started the extensive foam process.

More later..

Designing a GT-Inspired widebody has been a serious challenge these pass 2 months.. But unlike other SEMA one-off projects, we are actually producing molds to develop a total of 10 very limited production run aero kits for purchase. Which is why our friends at Asuka Design has been kind enough to help with this stage and develop the best molds so we can make top quality parts.

What you see here is gel coat on the rear quarter plug.

100% Designed, crafted, manufactured in the USA!

More to come..

So is the desktop wallpaper on your laptop in the Whiteline bags picture a teaser of sorts, or is that another car?

The concept drawing posted initially was the Rocket Bunny kit from the rear.. Hense the comments.

Decided to go a different route and that image was deleted.

Here is the Whiteline sway bars, rear subframe bushings and tranny shift bushings. Parts look great and fitment has been right on point.

Airaid Intake

Our initial plan was to do a V8 swap, but the GT-Inspired exterior development has take the majority of the pass 2 months. Therefore we will revisit that after SEMA but in the meantime, we have an intake from our good friends at AIRAID. Looks great and truly functional.
