I have bought the Mariah mode one widebody,
and I need a full respray after the bodywork are done.
Do I stick with the orginale colour combo silver dark gray or do I go plane silver with more metallic

 

i think the two tone looks good,i would keep it the same color.

 

I would paint it all the darker grey .
I am not a big fan of silver, the grey would show more depth in the paint.

 

I have seen a few two tone widebodies, and it looks fine. Your color combo would actually look pretty good in my opinion. But ultimatly it's your decision.

 

oh wow. that car is beautiful. i wouldn't put a wide body kit on it. i think it looks great with just the rear flairs.

 

id go with a darker grey, and get some real nice wide wheels when the bodykit is on.

 

I was thinking about doing the car darker,but my engine bay looks
good with the orginal silver paint.And it is way to mutch work spripping
the whole thing down.I might go another shade silver with alot more metallic.
I also might keep the dark stripe.

If I am going to do anything with the wheels it has to be
sending the to 7X17"in front back to England and get them widened to 10x17"
Then I will use the ones I have back 9X17" in front
They have already sat me back 4800 usd included rubber.

If anyone have pics of two tone widebodys do put them up

 

Good idea on the wheels. I'm going with 8.5 or 9 inches in the front and 9.5 or 10 inches in the back. Here are the wheels I'm gonna get.





Keizer Wheels makes them, they are called Kosmo wheels. The quote I got from them was $350 a piece with the specs I wanted. They will look so good once I get the money to buy them.

 

The specs for the Mariah Mode 1 body kit has saying that maximum wheel width in the front should be 8.5 and 9.5 for the back. Here's the website, http://www.mariahmotorsports.com/ go to products, exterior, 1979-1985, and then Mariah Mode One. They give specs for the wheels you should get. I have the Mode One body kit too.

 

Thank you
I bought my kit from them.
But they dont say anything about the offset.
Btw cool wheels I can't wait to see them on your car

 

Thanks. You could ask Dansyoung about the offset on his widebody. I'm probably going to go somewhere around 4" to 4.5" backspacing. Here's a chart for backspacing to offset.




Here is some more info on wheel fitment and backspacing. https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html

 

interesting I like the color its actually flashy... unique... keep it like that

 

Hi all

Looking great! My backspacing is 4.5 front and rear, my front wheels are 17x10 rears are 17x12 (the kit is larger than the mariah).
