As far as I know it's the only full Super Made kit in North America. Also since you posted the SH article, check out that hood. Somewhat ironic haha

Started mounting up the kit tonight. Made a tiny bit of progress.


Also realized one of my yellow capsule fog lights had a rock chip fully through the glass. A little saddening as I replaced the set maybe 2yrs ago. The Super Made kit has it's own fog lights so not a huge loss I guess.


That's it for now. Hundred different things I need to get done on between engine, kit, trans, and now my SC has a full kit I need to mount up as well. "All that money for parts- need to invest in a quality camera!" lol

Yea it's FRP. Kinda wish it was polyurethane after seeing how nice the SC kit is though haha. At least it's simple to repair when I inevitably explode the front.

Put some tires on the used Weds Farmas I bought a while back. They look decent I think, prob going to the SC though. Leon Hardiritt's belong to the GS.


Here's my SC daily. After I mount the Super Made kit I'll pull the GS out of the shop and finish the kit on it too.

I added a link in my sig for the SC slow build so check that out from time to time if you like also.

LX-Mode grille on, kit on, spare wheels on. Little bit of low.




7/8" from the ground just about...



Intercooler fits without cutting too. Just needed some hump style couplers. Sorry for the grainy photos.

Very nice!

Are those the FRP fenders? Are they wider than stock, how much wider? I screwed up my fender roll, not too bad but my OCD is getting the best of me. I'm thinking of picking those up since they go for around $350 a pair.

Any recommendations, thoughts, tips about them?

AIT / B-Magic FRP fenders are factory width. Quality isn't as good as Artisan Spirits but they're doable. Lower moulding sections are bad, they need a lot of work to fit. Around headlights they're not perfect either.

But to answer your question: nope these aren't FRP.




Lately I've felt like changing them- overall I'm not entirely happy. The same attention to detail when inspecting an Army dress uniform goes into my car, and right now it's not up to the standard.

Measurements done for r154 shifter extension. Sleeper Designs immediately went to fabricating my parts after I gave them the info. So happy I came across these guys. Turns out their kit is a full assembly with a custom made 1018 steel linkage, not just the extended housing like I originally thought! These start at + 2.5" extended, and can be any length you need up to 6" I believe. Just wanted to share the info; I'm excited to guinea pig these brand new parts on a GS!

1018 steel machined linkages:


And again the billet 6061 housings:




...Otherwise not much to write about yet. I'm always busy doing something, but it never seems to be working on the GS!
