The kit included them. I tried putting them on the back, but they wouldn't fit. They were definitely made for the front. I find that kinda odd for a rear drive car, but whatever. It looks good from the front with the addition of the valance, which I designed in CAD and 3D printed.

So, I finally finished the Fujimi kit. S13 SR20DET swap, and 3D printed "spook" front air dam. I took the rainy day over the long weekend to finally put an end to it.

I sold over 20, back in the day on ebay of the RC 1/10 scale roadster bodies. I sold all but one that I started painting the roof and then put it is aside.
They are not made any more.

I still have 2 clear unpainted roadster 1/10 scale bodies. I have the decals and window masks too.

I never got around to scanning them but I am still up for it. It will be a good winter project for here in Alaska. I also have a #46 240z body that I painted and I got a Tamiya M-08 car/chassis for it. I'll post pix when it's done.

Cheers

Not the best picture - but here's my RWD #46 z car. I haven't finished leveling the body but can't wait to take it out for a spin!

Cheers

Greg, do you remember what company made the bodies?

Another example of the 510 and 240z getting all the love. I see plenty of these bodies available for sale but I never knew a roadster had been produced. I would definitely buy one if they were still available.
