Looking good mang. I got the QWhees kit that I'm trying to get done on mine. I'm doing some different stuff with it to kinda stand out from the rest like taking those three holes off and doing one big duct and shaving down the rear to make it even with the back. I'm thinking about shaving the front corners, just to give it a more sleak look instead of having too much going on everywhere.

I am keeping the blitz front and rear bumpers. CF altezzas are on the way. I plan on painting the center piece to match. I just ordered a set of 2" wheel spacers so the rims will be flush with the widebody. I do this for a living so I appreciate the help but its not really needed. I glue all my parts on with SEM its a structural adhesive for body panels then mold them in with kitty hair. After that everything gets about 3-4 coats of 2k primer surfacer then blocked with 800grit wet to smooth everything to perfection.

Man, I sure hope this car will be a trailer bitch then! You do know that our cars are Hub-centric... which means that the entire weight of the car is NOT supported by the studs but by the hubs mating with a indentation groove on the back side of the rims. By running 2 inch spacers your wheels will most likely break clean off the car. Make sure to take pics of that!!

The spacers that I am using are hubcentric and I have seen tons of people use them with no problems. The manufacturer gives a $1,000,000.00 warranty as well. The car is not a daily driver though.

if that's the case, then you're the man, dawg!
Is the side rocker insets (looks kinda like a side door of a mustang) part of the widebody kit or did you custom fabricate that into the doors? Either way, I don't remember seeing that modification done on a widebody, and I think that's clean looking. I love the way the doors are recessed more in with the scoops. I like your car, dood.
