Default Lingenfelter ZR1 Aerobody

So I know this kit used to be sold by Lingenfelter and they stopped selling it a couple years back. Does anyone know if there is something close to it available? I've seen all of the common body kits (greenwood, spyder, etc) but really liked the lines produced by this one and I love the front-end. I've been considering trying my abilities with fiberglass \ CF to make my own version but am probably a little new to make anything of this size. The key things I liked about this kit is how it squares off the sides and gets rid of the rubber strip I have on my '90 and doesn't have the strip that you find on the 91-96.

First time Ive seen this one I like it. But no there isnt another kit like this except for the one in japan. Its called BSM or something like that.

I've seen the BSM one before in pictures and its definitely a very close second to the Lingenfelter kit (though I'd do the 91-96 upgrade version; the one with the rubber doesnt flow as well as the one without). I found that a company called Startline supposedly imports it but their online catalog isnt working.

Yup, really The rubber or plastic strip around the car has, to me, always taken away from the look of the car. Plus that bumper should improve the airflow to the radiator over the black rubber strip under the front bumper. I like the C6 front bumper, probably one of the best-looking ones since the C3, however I like that my C4 is paid in full.

Have you looked at the Wide body Stalker Kit? I bought mine from Corvette Central. It was built by ACI. I will try to load some pictures of the one that I am building.
It looks as though both cars have the same raised hood.
Mine is built on a 1986 C4 manual trans. I have restored this car inside and out. It is close to being finished.

Anyway I do like it. The wheels look similar to the Corvette wagon wheels.

The front bumper on the lingenfelter kit is a little weak. I think the stalker front bumper has a more aggressive look. Stalker front bumper, ZR1 rear bumber with greenwood tunnel and side skirts. That would look cool. Don't forget CCW wheels.

I like the stalker kit on your car; it looks way better than the ones I've seen on the websites displaying the stalker kit. Thanks for the pics!
