Default Fairings on the fenderwells!-GTS-

I spotted a GTS 1992 at a P. dealership.- In Edmonton Alberta. NORDEN AUTOHAUSE-.
This vehicle had little fairings or-stone guards attached to the fenderwells very professionally. Same color as vehicle.
The L & R. signal light are placed on the -SIDES- of the front fenders as well.
It was an Auto with Cup 1 wheels.Black interior.
Anyone aware of these body changes or this car?

I saw this car for purchase in the classic and antique Trader last may . It was adverted from I think Vancouver.
It is a type of slate grey.
Anyone.
Has new plates.

Those front flares and rear 'half flares' are Japanese spec.

IIRC, there was a gray GTS for sale not too long ago in Japan that had these flares. Importing to Canada from Japan is much easier than into the U.S. -so it may be the same car.

Yep, it'll be Japanese.

This picture of a Japanese '92 GTS will explain in more detail:

Yea, you can get a '92 in to Canada from Japan or Europe somewhere, but good luck taking it across the boarder to the South and getting it registered here. Remember Chuck Z installed those on his Dark blue metallic '95 not to long ago. I think they look better in the darker colors and I don't care for those little front fender extensions at all...

Indeed... they make the front end look fat and ungainly.

Thankyou.
I may have seen the car 4 sale in the -NATIONAL CLASSIC & ANTIQUE TRADER from Canada last year.
The car was selling from Vancouver and was going for $26000!
Looked fantastic but auto.
