But back onto topic, I'm sure we'll get a RB kit soon.









This is exactly what I was saying.

I have nothing against bolt-on flairs if done right. Most of the stuff today looks like over-kill.

Iv just never been a fan of seeing people drill holes in the body of the car. I wont lie, some of them can look quite nice but for some reason I feel like rocket bunny isnt really the direction to go with a widebody kit.

Getting a pre fabed widebody is far safer a choice then getting your fenders cut, pulled, welded and custom made. Your relying on a shop to do proper, top tier body work. Hard pill to swallow when I actually got it done that way on my 350z back in 09'

There's one guy who had that done on his rear fenders. Looked really wide and almost stock. Not sure if he's on here it was a red sport

yeah, it turned out horribly...and I believe the owner put it up for sale very soon after it was done. Poorly executed and a definite example of what NOT to do.

I thought the work done to extend the fenders out themselves was pretty nice, the rest of the car... not so much.

So by your logic, every lifted truck with bolt on fender flares is a wide body?

By definition... Yes. The profile of the car is in fact wider than OEM.
