Developed by Atsushi Hara and coming close to winning the World title, Hot Bodies have released the Trick body for the D8. This body is a performance enhancing part that will lower your lap times. A steep angled cab forward design provides high downforce in the front end of the car while side pod wings provide downforce in the rear, making high traction and stability all around. In Hara’s own words, this body gives more controllable front traction without giving away rear traction. Molded from clear polycarbonate plastic for durability and long life it comes supplied with complete decal sheet with official logos, overspray film and pre-cut vinyl window masks.
