Have we discussed the Widow SPR1 Miata body kit yet?

I found this while doing some story research on Craigslist: http://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/5479272456.html

Yes, yes we have.

I don't hate it, but I wish they could have done something else with the headlights.

In reply to nepa03focus:

We discussed in the other thread how the TVR Sagaris has the cooler front end, but the TVR Tuscan front end was likelier easier to replicate because it's just 6 round lights.

Good, just making sure.

"If you're having trouble selling that Miata in the driveway this may be the option for you" Yeah. Dropping 6,000$ into a car that "won't sell" will make it sell better... Also, he's rolling something. Miatas don't last a week in CL here.

$6000 + another $4000 in wheels, tires, and paint.

I was thinking the same thing. I've never heard anyone go "Man, I can't seem to sell my Miata"

I dig it, like a mini TVR.

With chameleon paint an FM goodies, you can have a reliable TVR.

The pics of the white car look fantastic! The pics of the orange car looks like it has pannel fit issues, just like any other questionable kit car.

I wonder how much work it would take to get results like the white car?

In reply to HappyAndy:

The white car is the orange car. The orange one is loose fit in standard gellcoat.

I really like that kit.. Maybe when I'm down a few projects..

It is fascinating to me but I cannot see myself trying it. I have a fascination with the MX250 by Tribute automotive (as seen in my Avatar) and with the Italia kit (see FM's current v8 project or Stacy David's Banshee). I assume there are similar challenges with any body kit applied to an existing car.
