Yes your right on the money, but after looking at the body work that was done on that green lotus one of the members has with those fancy lights and such. I just could not keep myself from asking lol.

In a word.... No.....but those Japanese love their body kits...

There's a thread on here about a hard top from that neck of the woods, it has several photos of what can be accomplished..

Personally I would go the bespoke route and get one made to my taste..

:agree:

I can't think of how it could possibly be improved. True, I think the Esprit looks marginally nicer (in both Guigaro & Stevens guises) but IMO nothing else even remotely comes close.

id genrealy agree but the back end is a little hit and miss, the front would benefit from a nice spolier but that wouldnt last 2 seconds on uk roads, i adore the lines from the outsides of the front bumper right to the rear bumper, but it might be nice to make it a little more agressive with perhaps some sort of (cant think of the word) holes!? and perhaps sidesills. i personaly couldnt bring myself to do it, but would be interested to see it done. will try to illustrate when i can get to my photoshop.

Sacriledge! :evil:

Back end only if you must. This is an exotic sportcar we're talking about not a Honda. Would you add a body kit to a Ferrari or Lambo? (please say no)

Am I the only one that thinks the back end looks fine?

Then again, I've always gone for fat arsed girls :roll:
