Tell me what you guys think of this wide body kit...a slope-nosed front bumper/airdam with integrated driving light recesses and functional front brake cooling ducts, a front valence panel, four flared fenders, two door appliques, two door sill extensions, a wraparound rear bumper and underbody panel.

Lets you stuff up to 9.5"x17"wide tires in the front and 11.5"x17" wide tires in the rear. all for a mere $3,395.00(not including spoiler)

I've always liked it, but so far I haven't been willing to cough up the cake.

i have that on my wall, lol. U forgot to mention the fiberglass heat riser hood, i've always like that kit. But i don't like that the front ends on either kits they look like a suprs, 80's style supra. Just fix that slit thing and it would be cool and ftps. Only thing i will be getting is the hood, unless someone somewhere makes one like that in cf for cheaper :sigh:

Its not the cost of the kit, its making it look good on the car thats the hard part. Youre looking at alot of labor to put this on a car. I did a fiberglass body on a jeep cj, the body was only a few thousand dollars, but it was a good 100 hours AT LEAST to put it on, but when the person first decided to take on the project he thought it was simple "bolt the seats in, dash, windshield, and its set". Little did he know, lol.

If they gave it to me for nothing I'd be glad to do the labor. :sigh:

I always liked the side skirts/door skins. If I had 4g to drop on a kit I would get that one or the Run racing one. But 4g will get me a sweet turbo motor. :smilewinkgrin:

I don't like that kit. It takes away from the stock looks, as opposed to enhancing them.
