Grown-up performance: Fortune ’03 Supra. VeilSide unveiled this “Fortune” Supra at last year’s Auto Salon, and it has finally appeared on public roads. For this car, the front and rear full bumpers, side skirts, and rear wing are only the standard aero. The one-off kit also includes wide front and rear fenders, an FRP bonnet and door panels, acrylic windows, and a rear hatch. Even the aero mirrors and light kit are part of the package. As a result, only the roof remains from the original Supra’s exterior. It achieves an unprecedented, dramatically wide body; a new legend is born on the Bayshore Route.

Custom kit, from one-off pieces to a complete build!!
Wide body

SELECTED
A stock body is too ordinary! We wanted a bolder, more daring, aggressive style. The wide-body kit makes that dream come true!

From the headlight-integrated bumper through the bonnet and fenders, the entire exterior is built around the Fortune kit. Its originality and wide stance are incredible!
The stock taillights are reused. From the rear, its smooth, flowing shape gives no clue that the base car is a Supra.

The T51R turbo, with the intake, exhaust, and computer all tuned as a package, produces 850 horsepower and pushes the car beyond 300 km/h.
VeilSide specially commissioned these seats, retrimmed in Connolly leather in a red-and-blue two-tone color scheme.
The wide stance looks beautiful from the rear, and it also makes the ride height appear lower.

Eclipse
A renowned brand made in the USA
This Eclipse wears a Kaminari wide-body kit. It builds on the car’s naturally sporty, stylish shape. The kit’s key feature is its cohesive fit: from every angle, the flowing lines look natural, without a hint of awkwardness. It is almost a work of art. Built by Platinum Motors Tel: 042-968-2323
From the front, you can see how much wider it is than stock. It gives off a distinctly wide, low, aggressive feel.
The protruding front fender neatly houses the seven-spoke Zebring 1TC wheel, a well-balanced combination.
You can really feel it.

The widened rear is immediately clear around the tail. The full-bodied wing is also made by Kaminari and matches perfectly.
