GT3R body panels , where to buy?
It's a long shot but is there somewhere I can order the quarter panels from the GT3R cars? I know VAD has a kit but it's Kevlar composite and I rather source sheet metal body parts if possible.

Thanks in advance,

Yup want it for street car that's why i wanted metal for better long term durability. It's looking like I'll have to just fabricate it when the time comes.Likely some air cooled model flares can be retrofitted to work and flow good. I guess I'll worry about it more after i finish the current project on the car. Thanks.

These kits are designed for aerodynamic downforce and lightweight at the cost of durability....Also those rear flares were widened to fit a taller and wider rear tire for lateral grip.......all things bad for a street car and handle worse in a straight line.
GT3RS hips are wide-enough for the street IMO

It is a real RSR body kit on a 2012 Turbo S.
Very $$$
Google: Champion Turbo S RSR as mentioned above. Cost well over $300k to build and sold for mid $200k range last year.
You could build a replica of it using the body kit from KA Motorsports...

I would just use the body work from KA, they offer excellent quality as well as excellent pricing. While I have not purchased from them , yet, it is who I will be getting mine thru when it's time and I have spoken to a number of different people that have used them with great results.
They come well recommended from a number of racers.
