Nice car and a sweet ride but it really shocked me to see that they used a replica kenstyle kit. Pretty ****ty that a company that makes aftermarket parts would support knock offs.

 

May not be K&N's car...just a sponsored car, so it's up to the owner of the car what parts are used. *shrug*

 

steve i just picked up the Import Tuner last night... maybe you should rig up a quick change front bumper system like they have lol

nah Moog, it was built in house at K&N, although i believe the article said that it was an after-hours project by some of the engineers.

maybe they were on a limited budget and they chose to spend it on go-fast parts, since this is a time attack car after all and built with only that purpose in mind.

 

Yeah in the mag they said it was "Ken Style" The real one is Kenstyle. I dunno if it was a typo or that ment to pass it off. All in all it is a awesome car. The motor is sweet!

 

The car is K/N's car.It was at SEMA in 2004 when it was red.I do believe it is a real Kenstyle kit.It was at SEMA 2005.I looked at it closley.The side skirts have the Kenstyle logo.The front bumper had a billet K/N logo instead of the og one.It was real carbon fiber around the fog lights,and they were the Cibe fog lights.I did hear from a good source that they paid alot money to get the cover shot,that's what advertising will buy you.

 

Heres the reasons why I say it was fake. he car has a lot of carbon on it. Yet they painted over the fog light area. The real kit has fog light rings, theres doesnt. Theres a fat gap between the hood and bumper. Just like every kenstyle knock off. Who knows maybe they broke the real one and then went with a fake one.
One things for sure though there is crazy work into it! They did a great job.

 

You may be right.I havent seen the mag. yet.just heard about it.But at SEMA they were not painted.

 

 

interesting intake plenum.... those pics look different than the ones in the mag... maybe they've done more work since then?

 

really dont like the paint
