Thanks for the info. What in particular is identifiable as a Paul's Exotic kit. I have only seen a few pics of those years ago, a silver and dark blue coupe with the VT rocker style.The seller said it took OE glass which was likely AGP.

Thanks for posting RT.  I was trying to determine by the upper windshield area if it was a bit shorter like the D & R body. Like you stated I don't think this is a D & R.

I took a close look at the headlight openings.  The D&R has a small ridge of fender about 1/4" to 3/8" wide between the headlight opening and the front trunk opening.  I do not see that in your picture.   That is probably NOT a D&R.

Jimbo,
The front bumper looks more accurate then an IFG but your points on the rest of the body are good ones. This one isn't easily identifiable as an NAERC, D & R , Top Gun, Cory Davis, IFG, etc. by me. Thanks for the comments.

Im just guessing but it reminds me a little bit of my IFG just a little better done.  It looks like it has a one piece body with the front bumper attached and the side panels. My IFG was all one piece except the back bumper was separate. I wish I could see underneath because IFG has steel in the body for mounting.  Just guessing but I will be curious if you find out.

I was trying to tell by the windshield area if it was a D & R as they were shorter and looked lower at the roof area. It looks like it might be. There is no glass with it so hard to say what would fit if you could even find a windshield or door glass. It is scarce.

Those fins on the side rockers look like 30th anniversary styling.  Not many made 30th versions, that could be a sign.  Can't recall if D&R did a version they may  have RT would know.

Does anyone recognize this Diablo kit?
« Reply #1 on: May 26, 2019, 05:41:47 PM »
I am just wondering if the Diablo kit experts on here might recognize who manufactured this kit from these pictures. It is for sale and the images are from the listing. An old D & R kit or copy possibly? The rocker gills look a bit unusual to kits I have seen but may just be the angle. Thanks for any input.
