Nope. The Pacific avatar is not as wide either.



Hey, Racer X



You know that ARF widebody that I love? (my Avatar)

Who makes the vented valence between the lights? I can't find it on the ARF site.
Custom job.I was thinking of doing that to mine at work with some 1/8" steel.The only joy of working as a welder at a fab shop.I might put one big vent in the middle instead of three tho.We shall see.It would look killer with my body kit tho.Plus the cooling factor for my FMIC and rad would be better with one big vent there as opposed to 3 smaller ones.

when i went to japan the rule of thumb i used for exchange rate was, take off the last 2 digits of the price and it would be slightly cheaper than the number youd get.



ie: 280,000 yen would be less that $2800 USD.



but im sure theres an online rate converter somewhere...

It's not custom. I have seen it on several other cars. Something from a "944" style kit from the 80's

Nice snail. Looks good. The Exhaust side is kinda big for my taste (laggy), but nothing a good porting and/or proper manifold design couldn't resolve.
