I tried picking up a company to make a custom one and got burned in the process and damage done to my car. I would like to see one come out and when a production kit is available I will be all over it!

that sucks man, I jumped on a project like that two, hopefully I'm happy with the results, we'll find out tomorrow. It's going to be interesting to see how they do it, especially since the rear quarter panel is wide enough as it is and doesn't come off it would require a lot of cutting and pulling.

1slow370 01-22-2010 08:23 AM

u mean wid-er body kit? for gods sakes look at the pictures u posted and a stock z. it's wider than any of them...

They pulled panels damaged the paint and dented all the panels. They did $5k worth of bodywork damage and I had it fixed at my sponsored shop ARTCRAFT. I am working with the company to settle the issue. I will not use names as they are stepping up to the plate to rectify the problem.

Snakebite202 01-22-2010 10:06 AM

:iagree: (with 1slow370) The 370 is almost as wide as that G in the last picture...

motoextreme 01-22-2010 10:21 AM

Hope I'm not leaking out any secrets but Lou at Amplified was telling me he's working a deal to get his bright blue Z set up with a Wide Body. I have a double and a single garage, this car already seems quite wide, may look pretty crazy if you added a few more inches to it.

Hope to see one though...

wide body is wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide

but isn't the 370Z wide enough already? :icon14:

i mean seriously, any more and i'd have to drive it like i would a hummer.

motoextreme 01-22-2010 10:48 AM

That is SICK!

I love that exhaust exit and really don't care for mine. How much sh#$ would I get for cutting my nismo up even more? Kidding....I think :ugh2:

PS. Love FI, just wish it was a little more original like exiting on the side of the license plates or like that Supra. Supra's are one of my favorites.

bullitt5897 01-22-2010 10:53 AM

hahaha Phelan I just noticed your Tag under your name :rofl2: hahaha he tells the truth! Chris is not a liar! He is like Jeebus uncorruptable!

motoextreme 01-22-2010 11:28 AM

You caught me. I'm going to do something but probably wait until the Turbo install

You guys need to see the car in person. The Z is nowhere near wide compared to the these pix I posted.

Also, I posted these pix not to compare with the Z, but rather trying to show you the work that has been put on these cars. All these cars have been winning streaks in car shows for the past couple of years in show industries. Have you heard of TWC? All three are from the same team and the rest of the team members also have cars that are nothing less than extreme.

I saw this car at HIN AZ back in 08... and I gotta say... It is a WIIIIIIIIDE body Supra. :tup:

annnndd... I found a pic I took. :D

azn370z 01-22-2010 12:07 PM

Well the 370z is nearly 3 inches shorter and nearly 1.5 inches wider than the 350z. And the 370z fenders are huge. I think it looks wide enough.

fatcat777 01-22-2010 12:15 PM

WOW that is Wiiiide

OMGWTFBBQ 01-22-2010 01:06 PM

Yeah. I won't be going any wider than stock. We can already fit 305's under the rear quarter panels. I don't think I'll be needing any more rubber than that haha. :tup:

1slow370 01-22-2010 01:29 PM

throwing this out there... that G35 is no where near as wide as that supra and the supra is right around 76 some inches which is a little more than 3 inches wider than our cars stock. so basically we are already wider than a widebody g35 and and with a good set of side skirts you are as wide as the widest supra so you can make ur car wider if thats what gets u off but i'm just going to settle for making it look better

Edit: Might as well throw out a Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide while it's the hot thing to say in every post.

shabarivas 01-22-2010 01:29 PM

its not about the rubber for some... give it time... i can guarantee you there will be a wider Z

CBRich 01-22-2010 03:02 PM

Funny how it looks so good at an angle but so odd and boxy from behind.

bullitt5897 01-22-2010 03:24 PM

I for one would like to see the car a little bit wider. 25mm-50mm each side would really set off the curves of the 370z without being too wide. I am going big power so I need the extra space ;)

I can't wait to see what kinda power you have in mind. :tup:

bullitt5897 01-22-2010 10:06 PM

We are looking as an end goal of 1000rwhp on a 4.5L block. I need as much rubber as possible! I know it won't daily drive at that power but there will be a map for it. You know for those supra's, ferrari's and lambos I may run across ;)

motoextreme 01-22-2010 10:11 PM

Wholly sh#$!!!!

You will be the HP GOD :tup:

motoextreme 01-23-2010 12:38 AM

I have one for you...

So I'm dropping off my car for some touch up. They are fixing another shops major F up on a widebody kit. Basically a newer Camaro. Here's the thing...there must be 100 holes drilled in the body where the old kit was mounted, right along the sides.

Granted the old shop screwed this thing up but do all widebody kits mount this way. No way in heck I would drill holes along the whole side of any car, is that the norm?

So tell me Mike. Is that green 350 bone stock or did he do anything to it?

HAAHA...kidding! Talk about putting $ into a car, wholly crap!

I'm almost positive I saw this for sale in one of my magazines, was it in the most current Dupont Mag? I'm curious to what this would go for? Has to be a lot...

yes, its in the dupont registry, online too. I think they are asking 74900 for it at the moment. Its got well over 125 in it though. Over 50 in paint and body alone.

motoextreme 01-23-2010 11:42 AM

That's a ton in mods but I can see it

Now I REALLY dont feel bad that I dropped a few hundred in mods :) I have to check out those pics some more this evening. Wonder what it would of looked like or would of done with all that $ spent on performance rather then show?
