Default Anyone seen this Soarer bodykit before?

I was eating at a Japanese noodle place over in City of Industry, and while browsing Japanese car mags, my friend and I came across this...anyone seen this before / gotten this? I would LOVE to find out more info....although probably outta my price range right now....but still would be curious...





Anyone here read Japanese? Translate please

According to the Yahoo Japan Auction, the aero was a custom one off. The car sold on Yahoo Japan about 5 months ago. I posted up some pics of it a long time ago in this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...t=Aston+Martin



The designer said that if there was more interest that he could be persuaded into creating more... but honestly... I think it does nothing for the car. The front looks awkward and the rear looks cheap (my opinion).

Re-post . If I ever find the other thread I'll bump it, can't recall who posted in it or started it. It was about 3-6 months ago.

No I just keep up with the cars for sale on Yahoo Japan auctions, and read some of the Japanese Soarer enthusiast sites (with a translater). I also lurk on the Australia Lexus Soarer Clubs message board, where there is also lots of good info.

ive seen that before too, i actually always thought it was kind of unique. If I had the money I probablly wouldn't get it, although it's pretty clear the work put into it is quality though.

Made by Duck's Garden (gotta love JDM company names) and I've seen and sold plenty of Duck's Garden part in the past. They're damn good quality. If you're interested in this kit, order it from Luxury Mods.

Good find. Last I had heard is that the guy who developed the parts was not going to produce anymore, I guess he got enough interest though.

I still stand by my statements that the kit does nothing positive for the SC.

the rear is pretty neat...i like the way it covers the tails and has an integrated diffuser. The front and sides aren't my cup of tea but it's clean and original.




and it does have optional overfenders...that's never a bad thing
