Hit your local news and magazine rack. The is "Kit Car" magazine. From the title you can guess what's inside.

No problem! It's a common magazine that I see on the selves all the time at the 2 whole bookstores in my little community.
Just to get your jiuces flowing. I participate in the local car shows with my [real] Porsche 928. Last weekend I was in the "Special Interest/Exotic Car" category and a guy with a nice body kit car was there.
It was a Pontiac Fiero with a Ferrari F40 body kit. All in Ferrari red and he had pulled the 4-cyl engine out and had a LT1 Vette V8 in it. Most lookers thought it was the real thing!
It did look cool and I know many Pontiac Fiero owners either turbo-charge their engines or drop V8's in them to even make Vette owners get alittle nervous.

I believe the magazine is on the web under kitkar.com or kitcar.com.
Check around, usually a bookstore with a large magazine rack has it. I have also seen it on the shelf at the local gas station or convenience store. Even Walmart in the magazines!
