What I´d like to ask you ist to find out the difference between stock Porsche 959 and the Blackstar! Can you tell us?

I've been searching the web for a while here, and have to say there isn't much out there
about these kits. There's a fair number of sites selling them, but none with open box pictures, etc, at least that I can find.
I'm also trying to find reference on what exactly a "Porsche 959 Blackstar" is in real life, but nothing is coming up... I think what fujimi did is mold the stock 959 in black plastic and called it something new. They also have Lamborghini Blackstars and a couple others, if I recall correctly. I thought Blackstar might have been a tuning house like Koenig or Hamann, but the only Blackstar I found relating to car design puts body kits on civics. I'd like to think that a company tuning an uber-elite german sports car wouldn't stoop down to body kitting a civic. Either way, even if it is them, I couldn't find anything about a Porsche 959 on their website.
Supercars.net lists both a stock 959 and a "Sport" 959 as having been produced. The Sport option is a stock 959 minus 100 kg (220 lbs). This is accomplished by removing the creature comforts from the stock 959 (power windows, a/c, rear seat, etc). So the Blackstar may be representing that car, but I doubt it.
HTH.
