Anyone have just the rear of widebody kit?

I was just wondering if anyone has just the rear fenders of the Mariah mode 1 kit and not the front and bumper. I may need the wider tires in the rear next year but i don't really like the front of the kit to much. Thanx.

I wondered aloud about this awhile ago in another widebody thread - no one posted that they had seen it before. I think this would be a great look.

I don't think that it would understeer all that bad. As it stands mine has a tendency to oversteer. I think some wider meats in the back would be a welcome addition.

my car tends to understeer, then when it grabs, it snaps back and oversteers, so I have to compensate by steering in the other direction.... kinda unpredictable actually...
