Remember the good old days when you could pick up a nice body kit for your ride for a few thousands of dollars? Those days are pretty much gone, as some of the flashiest upgrades these days cost a small fortune.
Liberty Walk’s LB-Silhouette Works GT 35GT-RR for the Nissan GT-R, offered in two versions made of different materials, is a good example. In the Dry Carbon option, it costs $70,200 and $73,570, for the two variants, which is more than the asking price of a decent GT-R on the used car market.

For $54,540 and $53,050, you’re looking at a FRP and Dry Carbon mix of the same parts, whereas the FRP, CFRP and Dry Carbon will set you back $43,960 and $42,880, respectively and the FRP body kits are listed for $34,020 and $33,480 – plus, all of these exclude the air suspension, which is another $7,900. The Japanese tuner will also sell you each part individually, including the new bumpers, front apron, canards, rear diffuser, side skirts, bonnet, trunk, wing and fender flares.
Going for the complete look of the GT-R pictured in the Gallery requires choosing the aforementioned adjustable suspension, as well as the aftermarket wheels with a Y-spoke pattern and black look, shod in Advan tires, and typical Liberty Walk decals.
As usual, power upgrades aren’t on the menu when it comes to this tuner, but we wouldn’t worry about that, as the GT-R is not exactly lacking in this department. After all, it comes with a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 developing 480 horsepower or more, depending on the year and spec.
