MINAMI-KU, Japan — Tommy Kaira has made news recently for releasing one of the only comprehensive kits for the hybrid Toyota Prius. Now word has leaked that the Japanese tuner is set on unveiling its package for the Nissan GT-R at the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon.
GT-R Blog has been following the development of the aero kit, which started back in August with a clay model. The aero package consists of a front bumper in FRP or carbon fiber, a front lip in wet or dry carbon, side skirts with fenders, a rear diffuser, a wing and a trunk lip spoiler. It also looks from images as though the firm outfitted the car with foglights in the front bumper as well as a Tommy Kaira logo positioned in the right side of the upper grille.
The suspension of the Japanese sports car will be upgraded along with the interior. Plans are to deck out the inside in red hand-stitched leather trim.
The vehicle's look is very reminiscent of Wald's aggressive take on the Nissan GT-R.
Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon. It starts January 15 and will be held at Makuhari Messe near Tokyo, Japan.
Inside Line says: A very sharp kit that is sure to look even better in person. — Mike Lysaght, Correspondent

The Nissan GT-R was never an especially attractive sports car... though the body kit is a little too boy racer for me I guess it is an improvement over the original styling.

I'm sure it will be a big hit with the Ricer crowd at the shopping mall. It has everything they like; Fart can mufflers. Tasteless body work. Useless wing. Ugly styling. All that's missing is 72 decals plasterd all over it

A GTR does not need a bodykit.
