any wide bodies not painted black

i would like to see pics of any wide bodies that are not painted black. i have been thinking about doing mine in the stock L6 color code





if anyone is good with any photo editing do with it as you will but try to leave the L6 color code. wide body that is.

just ask for more pics if you need them

would like to see other wide bodies though not in black

It's a nice color if you do the body kit right I am sure it will look ok.

If it was me I would go a bit more radical a color to get more chicks to dig it..

I'm hoping to have it running in the next month or two. It's basically just waiting on me to stop being so lazy/tired. Working 50+ hours a week on cars and then coming home working on my own car is pretty difficult/exhausting.

I could be wrong though. I know the old mazda racing styles are super expensive if you can even find them. Good possibility its custom too

WHY??? Your car is beautiful, If anything buy another 7 and do the widebody on that one. Leave your current one alone.

^(to twinkletoes comment) i kinda agree cuz it looks like you have a VERY clean 7. They are getting harder to find a clean stock one.

However to each his own

Mazdaspeed GTU Widebody. Mark II. Very wide. Extends into the doors using a separate door cap. Originally used for IMSA GTU class. Fiberglass. Not for street use.

I would hazard a guess thats the one you want. Mazdaspeed Motorsports still lists the part numbers for it. About 1500 for the front and rear fenders. However if you put the parts into the shopping cart they are on backorder. This could mean they are in japan, special order or unavailable all together.


EDIT: looking through their other comp parts, ones no longer availible are listed as such. Therefore i believe this kit can be found through them. HOWEVER they specifically say not for street use.

no i have quite a bit of body damage and i need a new front fender so i just figured i would fix it that way and still keep it looking clean. will be painted in the L6 color code. i have a rear fender that my mom hit with her car a driver side tail light was busted out but i replaced that just haven't gotten the body fixed back there yet. and i need some of my panels realigned. thats why i want to do this and i will be racing it so. i bought it to be a future drift/track car

Oh well, if you feel like racing it only and want that widebody kit mazdaspeed has them and all you need is a club membership and race results. However they only list fenders and not front and rear bumpers.
