Rocket Bunny Widebody Kits

Rocket Bunny Widebody Kits

Definition and Core Positioning
The Rocket Bunny widebody aerokit is an overfender kit series developed by TRA Kyoto, a tuning firm founded by Japanese designer Kei Miura, and shares sister-brand status with Pandem. Rocket Bunny first shot to global fame in 2013 with its widebody kit for the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ (badged as the Scion FR-S in North America), instantly setting the benchmark in JDM widebody styling following its debut at the SEMA Show. Its signature visual identity blends muscular overfenders, exposed riveted fasteners, and an ultra-low stance, driven by a design philosophy of "balancing function and form"—the flared wheel arches provide ample dynamic tyre clearance while maintaining clean, proportionate lines, widely praised by the car enthusiast community as "broad and aggressive without being over the top".

Model Coverage and Version Evolution
Rocket Bunny originally concentrated on Japanese performance platforms, with its maiden mass-production aerokit being the Toyota 86/BRZ Ver.1 launched in 2013. Kei Miura subsequently expanded the portfolio to include iconic JDM machines such as the Nissan Silvia S13/S14/S15, Mazda RX-7 FD3S, Honda NSX, Nissan GT-R R35, and Lexus RC-F. The Toyota 86/BRZ platform boasts the most comprehensive line-up within Rocket Bunny, having seen Ver.1, Ver.2, and Ver.3 iterations, with Ver.2 and Ver.3 remaining actively available on the market. Building upon Ver.2, the Ver.3 package adds a front lip, side skirts, and front/rear bumper canards, showcasing an even more aggressive styling direction. At the 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon, Rocket Bunny introduced the "Pocket Bunny" kit for the Suzuki Twin, converting the 658cc Kei-car into a mini R32 GT-R lookalike, with the exterior styling kit excluding powertrain priced at approximately RM290,000.

Materials and Pricing Structure
Rocket Bunny bodykits are primarily manufactured from FRP (Fibre-Reinforced Plastic), with selected versions offering carbon fibre options. FRP delivers a well-judged balance between weight savings and production costs, making it ideal for stance-oriented builds, while carbon fibre variants cater to enthusiasts demanding greater weight reduction. Taking the BRZ Ver.2 kit as an example, official retail pricing stands at around USD 3,750, which includes the front bumper (USD 860), side skirts (USD 865), rear diffuser (USD 560), front and rear overfenders (USD 650 each), front lip (USD 165), and an optional ducktail spoiler (USD 550). The Ver.3 kit is priced at approximately USD 4,480, adding components such as the front lip, side skirts, and fenders. In mainland China, replica or licensed production versions feature a broader price spectrum, with FRP Ver.3-style kits priced between USD 1,200 and USD 1,570, while full carbon fibre iterations can fetch upwards of USD 4,000.

Installation Method and Modification Nature
Installing a Rocket Bunny kit fundamentally requires cutting the factory fenders, with the overfenders bolted onto the trimmed metal using exposed rivets or self-tapping screws. The exposed fasteners form a core element of the aesthetic, accentuating the car's raw mechanical build and hardcore motorsport pedigree. This constitutes an irreversible modification, as the stock bodywork cannot be restored once cut. Precision fitment relies entirely on TRA Kyoto’s digital design pipeline—Kei Miura utilises 3D scanners to digitise the actual vehicle, completes the styling in CAD, and mills CNC tooling moulds, achieving millimetre-perfect flush fitment against the body.
