also, just a heads up... you owned the urethane version, not ABS plastic.

curious though, what happened to your kit? youre one of 4 people to ever bring any of those parts to the US (im the 5th). im assuming you got your kit thru Sam at J-Spec given he was the master distributor for GP Sports in the early 2000s here.
No comment about yours, just making the distinction since I still care about these things.

Urethane/ABS, whatever it was it wasn't FRP nor was it the flexible FRP that CWest kits used to have.

I sold it after I wrecked my car in 2004. The original FS thread is still here on Zilvia but the person that bought it isn't on any forums...

now that I'm looking at the thread, I had a full kit but not the GPSports side skirt... I remembered why: I hated the vent design. Front/rear was perfect but the sides just weren't for me.
