well you cant exactly do that. kaminari sells their wide body kit piece-by-piece as does Qu-Whees but the problem is if you only buy the fenders and side skirts the fenders wont line up with the front and rear bumpers. obviously a fender thats extended 3 inches isnt going to bolt to a bumper that is 3 inches inside of it, and if it did, can you say hideous? but lucky for us some places sell the fender flares like in this pic, which you can just mold onto the fender. they are like $300 for all four. if you do this i would be interested to see how much you paid for the install on them, but they are clearly your only option for a side-only flare.

I like the Kaminari one. There are only two that are available for our cars. You can see the Kaminari one at http://www.kaminari.com/new14.htm

Hey Skrilla, T&L has done a lot of custom wide body kits. the bumpers need to be extended on the front and rear. But I'm not sure if they are taking any more wide body cars due to the fact that its not profitable and very time consuming. Here are some cars they have done that I can remember off the top of my head.

Wide body Lexus ES 300 with Skyline tailights, black widow kit
Wide body Integra with Supra tailights (this car is crazy, fully done interior and roll cage, gonna win shows soon)
Wide body Civic with Z3 headlights, Altezza tails

All these cars cost about 10 grand to do. I believe that is including full paint job. From what I understand, you can put any wide body kit such as one made for a civic, and then extend the fiberglass and everything so it fits the car. I'm not sure what they used on the ES300 but that kit was clean. I'm pretty sure its under 8 grand for a custom wide body kit without any conversions. Let me know if you need more info...
