I found these pictures in The Gallery (which seems to be down??)

Anyway, here they are. They look like they're pretty hardcore kits/rebodies. Defiantly look like they're on a 3rd gen platform dimension wise.












Does anyone have any information on them?

Thanks to both who provided responses with the kit's name. It's hard to search when all you have are a few unlabeled pictures and no name/text or anything to go off of

Anyway, I did a search. The results are actually pretty scarce. I followed the link to the company that used to make it. I say used to because they just list Fiero body kits now

All the threads about the kit are going on 4-5 years now.

The other commonly linked to site was: http://www.k1-styling.sk/ which doesn't seem to be functional anymore.

Here's the best thread I found about the kit.

Here's the link to where the kit used to be: http://www.euroworksltd.com/EvoluzioneII/ Now it's just a redirect to euro world's main site.

Anyway, I really like the kit. It looks very muscle car, the lines are very smooth, and it doesn’t scream ****. The one thing I would do away with/alter are the two roof blisters. I would leave the blisters but I would take away the front ‘vent’ so that they’re just blisters. I sent an e-mail to the company that used to make it asking about possible availability. This would be an excellent excuse to tear down a car completely and do a full restore while installing the new body. By the end I would literally have a new car.

I will keep you guys posted on the outcome of my e-mail(s).

Thanks again

I saw one of those in person. It was an ill-fitting disaster. I'm sure that it has a lot to do with who's installing it, but the one I saw left a permanent bad taste in my mouth.

Since most of that crap goes on over the existing car, you're going to have a LOT of extra weight to haul around.

Look on ebay... there's a guy selling a partially finished one and some of his pics give you a pretty good insight into how much you've got to hack the car up for one of these kits. I think it was in the "kit car" or "other makes/models" category of ebaymotors.

I was under the impression that it was a real rebody - ie rip off all the sheet metal and toss it away. I have an e-mail out to them to see what they say. I've got so many projects in mind for my car it's gross

You could also PM evoluzione1 (board member)... he has the kit on like a... 83 or so IIRC. He could probably give you details on it.
