Im leaning towards buying the SN RS4 but I really don't like the bodies they come with. I want to know if I can get a 94' 96' Chevy Impala bodies ? If not, where can I go to order one, get one made ? Im still in the process of picking a on-road or and off-road car. I probably won't be racing, but bashing around with it so Im still undecided. My off-road car pick would be the Nitro RS4 MT. If I pick the on-road I will build it mainly for looks, but if I pic an off-road it will be for power....still undecided with which to go with. I'll have around $400-650 to spend on the car. If I pick the on-road car I'll put the Impala body, front and back neon lights, replica Impala rims and rear wheel street slicks. Off-road will be proably a larger engine with some upgrades on the body. Please help me make my mind up. Thanks a lot guys....

One of the guys on the HPI board did a super with a Q-Tee Coupe body on it, which is a 33 Ford Coupe. Very cool looking body if you like classics.

I think Parma makes/made an Impala SS/Caprice body, but it only fits 190mm touring car chassis ( Possibly stretched on to a 200mm? ).
I think the only difference between the Caprice and Impala is the rear wheel well. You just cut a little higher up for the Impala. (I'm talking about the lexan body, not the real deal)
You may be able to find someone that could make a body for the Super Nitro, but it wouldn't be cheap. SEI Racing told me how much it's costing them to produce the C5R body for thier 1/5th scale cars and I just about fell over. Granted, what you're looking for would be quite a bit cheaper, but probably still prohibitive.
