After thinking about it more, a re-branded Exceed RC car that goes by the name Redcat Racing Lightning can be found also. I'm sure there is at least one more re-branded model out there. You'll have no problems finding a body. The problem will be which body style to pick .

Thanks again. Another noob question... Do I have to find body for redcat racing or random clear body for drift car with correct wheel base length will work??

I'm not too sure about the whole body selecting process. I've not gone that deep into researching on-road part of the hobby. IIRC there are 190mm and 200mm wide 1/10 scale bodies. The platform you have is 200mm wide I think. If manufacturers give a wheelbase length, boom, you're good to go in your search. I know some do and some don't. HPI has some cool looking bodies.

I have checked on the official site and few others, you were right its 200mm wide and has 260 wheel base total length 360mm. I think I will give a try with some random clear body from ebay.
Thanks a lot, you really helped me with this.
