whats everyones favourite kit for the fto? im considering something sleek, i dont like them over the top. the fto looks similar to a ferrari 360, and would be cool to take advantage.

i like this one, dont know if its available here though.

would look good without the ridiculous rear wing, i want style, not rice.

any others that are really smooth?

The one from Bozz speed looks not bad in that sense. However it only comes with the front bar and rear wing.

The black FTO in the pic looks like it has a DCuatro front spoiler and side skirts, as well as a Creative-Sports rear spoiler (I believe this is adjustable).

I think someone mentioned in some thread that SSV in Sydney made copies of either DCuatro or Creative Sports body kit. I can't remember which. It may even be another Japanese brand but they did make copies of someone. Much cheaper than trying to import one yourself. But not sure how the quality is though.

Yeah that's a D-Cuatro front. I think GPXXX has one. But the rear spoiler on this pic is not D-Cuatro or Creative Sports. Dunno what the heck that ugly thing is

Check out this site for some common FTO kits:

I have to say the Top Mix side skirts look the best. Anybody know of anyone importing these?

yeah I got the D-Cuatro front lip spoiler fitted on mine... don't have the sideskirts or rear bumper/wing fitted though.. i prefer my own 'touch', hehehe...

i'd have to say my favourite aeropart for the FTO would vary.... for example, i like the Kaze widebody guards, but i prefer the DCuatro front lip and a GT wing... so you see, i don't have a liking for one particular model, but that's just me... i like to mix n' match, LOL

Sorry, I meant no disrespect. Just expressing my opinion. I've now had a look at that spoiler from another angle and it looks alright. In the pic in this thread the angle makes it look too squarish.

GPXXX: I agree with you about not liking every part of the kits. For example, I like the front of the D-Cuatro like yours, but the D-Cuatro rear spoiler looks weird.

Are there any good kits for the facelifted model? Because the lights are a little different, I would expect that most current body kits would not fit onto a post 97 FTO.

The veilside look skirts sold by Carmate are similiar to the topmix ones. They do two, one is a straight veilside and the other has the scoopy thing on top behind the door.

You could go the Creative Sports front bar which incorporates 97+ front orange signal lights but no foggies though. Pretty squarish looking:

The Creative rear spoiler is very similar to the Core sport one though. Is the Core sport adjustable?

Personally, I still prefer the stock 97+ front bumper. Doesn't look ricey but is aggressive at same time.

dunno about y'all, but i reckon a Subaru WRX 22B wing would look pretty mean on the FTO, plus the contours and lines really suit the car's profile...

I was thinking about this mod myself but the only issue is that it is quite involved to modify the wing to adapt to the horizontal profile of the bootlid (which means more money) plus the height may be blocking the third brake light near the ceiling (which is a big defect apparently)...

...but i gotta say i'm really happy with my wing. will look at trimming the sideplates so that it's slightly smaller with the shape that I'm looking for.
