    FT86 is not body-kit friendly

    If you notice the way the concept car is so "sculpted" with the individual fenders and bumpers flowing into each other, it is going to make it very difficult to design a nice looking body kit. Also in my opinion adding any side skirts will just look silly.

    So while the concept looks great, I don't think it will be very customizable

    Remember that we are just seeing a concept right now, and concepts seem to change lots from production vehicles. This could mean a lot more subtle changes in the edgyness of the car, giving it more opportunity for different front bumpers and side skirts.

    To be honest I would be happy just putting on a carbon fiber hood, mirrors, stuff like that. Doesn't need a body kit as it looks amazing how it is.

    I agree that sideskirts would be difficult to put on this car. I think the big aftermarket for this car will be the wheels, suspension and probably as far as body - spoilers.

    I agree. Looking at the concept I don't see a need to add any aftermarket bodywork. Maybe TRD will come out with some goodies.

    this is the kind of body where you could just put a splitter on the front, maybe sides and rear and call it a race car. if it comes out like this, thats all ill do, which is fine because a lip kit would be more expensive and less functional.

    I would love to see a nice splitter on the front and some diffusers on the back. It would look AWESOME!

    well to be honest, i got lucky finding the splitter i was looking for at the right angle and with the correct light angle as well.
