| I've read extensively through the forums and i keep seeing little hints about there having been an optional body kit package for the soarer from the factory. Is this truth or Myth? Thanks for the help. By the way i love it here, so much information, by far the best soarer resource ever.

| side skirts were available 97+ rear wing available through the entire range. and a front lip was available from factory, but i wouldn't call it a "kit" as such.. |

| Ok, i was wondering. So would the side skirts from 97+ fit on a 91? and what about a rear lip? Thanks Rob |

| Going by the picture Colin, I prefer the 91-93 model. Man they're sexy. |

| I'd have to agree, in that picture the early model looks great, both cars are beautiful Colin, but my vote goes with the early model. Absolutely amazing for a 91 car to look that good. |

| Suttle change in the front bar, and fog lights instead of turning lights. |

| Dan, I think there's a slight change in the grill that is underneath the number plate area? |

| That's right Vinh the 94 model has a removable grill under the numberplate and the turning lights were changed to fog lights. Before.
After.

| If you decide to do this it has to be permenant.The reason is that when you remove the centre grill it leaves the mounting holes behind(These are little permenant plastic mounting holes that are attatched to the front bar).I cut these mounting holes off to get the flush look,So that is the reason why this is permenant. I just cut them off then paint with touch-up paint and that's all.The main reason for this is I wanted to keep the stock look but have a little vertex look without buying a kit. |
