Jeff,

Funny you should mention as I was going to look into it:

http://e-bsm.com/shop/default.php/cP...4a18dd60981850

They do one off custom too so they would have to mod the kit for the ZR-1. I'll have my wife or friend look into it for me since BSM Yokoham is in the same city as I am. Everything is so expensive here with our weak *** US dollar so probaby not an option for me. It would be cool to have a custom kit and bring back to the car to US with.

I'll also be checking out this shop to look into a performance dyno tune next week, but very expensive and over $1100 US is a bit much.

Okay, here is the deal on the BSM bodykit in Yokohama. Some CF members were interested a few years ago when my friend posted photos of his 95 LT1, but the cost including shipping was about $3500 US to ship to US and all of them gave up. Not sure what it would be now with our week US dollar and unfortunately, the size is the killer on these body pieces not the weight.

I will take my car over to the shop to get an estimate for the body kit since they do not make it for the ZR-1, but will do a one off type since the front is the same and just minor mods to sides, but probably custom for the rear unless we find they have a mold from a previous ordered ZR-1. I'll get more info later and not sure when I can meet up with my friend in the next few weeks to get an estimate.

Even though I could get a bodykit in my household goods brought over for free, if I end up back in Hawaii that would still be very expensive to ship to anyone in upper 48.

Shipping is a bitch, I think the best way to go would be a container with 20 or so kits.

I just saw the kit in Vette magazine. It looks alot better in black. I really like it, for an aftermarket kit. It's so hard to do a body kit for a Corvette and make it look good enough for others to want to purchase.

The car in the magazine looks really good.

Yeah, I actually really like that kit and would actually seriously consider putting one on my Z if one was available here. There is a car on ebay right now with that kit on it.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CORVETTE-C...d=293769185663

I think they also make that kit for the '84-'90 body style, I think that one looks really good too:

I liked it on the black car. Thought the front end looked rounder.

What I've found is, most aftermarket front bumpers just add on a lower portion and leave the stock running lights in place.

I need to start on my own front bumper and side effects. My rear bumper design is finalized. The rockers will be easy. I think I have decided on the front bumper design for the most part. Just need room in the shop to begin the process.

The more I look at Lingenfelter, the more I like their front bumper design cues.

I'm normally very anti body kit, but this happens to be a nice one IMHO.
