Mines a MODE-4 non-widebody

Any other close up pics you have, a side view of the bodyline would be nice too. I cant see on in person, cause no one has one around here
Which is a plus.
Any know what the kit weighs, and what it actually adds to the car?

My car only has the MODE-4 front bumper/airdam piece. It's not a MODE-1 wide-body.. but if you want to see some more crappy pics, go to my my web-site and check out my 7.
I think my car is also at:
http://www.mariahmotorsports.com ->SPECIAL PROJECTS
On the MODE-1, only very minor trimming is need to fit larger wheels on the rear... I've seen a beautiful MODE-1 with 17" Racing Hart wheels that just kicked-butt. To bad I didn't have a camera to take pics.
Give Jeff over at Mariah a call and he'll give you the complete low-down on the MODE-1 kit.
<shameless plug>
Anyone wanting to see body-kits on cars, should try and make SevenStock next year.. always a great selection of 7's to look at!

I called Mariah directly, and talked to someone forget who it was , but I asked a lot of questions and he answered everyone of them in a very nice manner. I think I would like to order the kit from them... They seemed like very nice people, at the same time I order the kit im gomnna order brake rotors, brake pads, stainless brake lines, and some suspension stuff. Also gonna try and find wheels
I got about 3000-3500 to spend, I sold my Rolex

The black car and the red car are bad ***.
The kit you are referring to is available at www.groundeffects.com
But it looks like the front and rear fenders are mode in jobs and it sorrta looks like they are all one piece with the side skirts.

Has anyone seen the Mode One treatment done to just the rear end? I like the look of the rear, but am not crazy about the front fenders (or bumper for that matter). I like the lines the car has, but think it would look pretty slick with just the rear done - would kinda give it a late-model Porsche 911 look.

Tennis, anyone
Mike, In the 1st gen gallery check out magnus's wide body,, a white 1st gen. here's a crappy pic. of my 7.
with the mariah mode four. I like a couple of those aussie body kits. to bad the shipping would cost arms,legs,then pull teeth, hoping it arrived in one piece.
Jose reyes has a mode four also, his paint job makes the kit look as if the car came that way,,very well done.
Berns car has a mode four frontend and a mariah rear wing, and a custom hood with a TII hood opening. I really think the mode one's could use the side skirts, or for that matter (any) widebody looks better when there's a side skirt. A mode one and mode four both share the same front airdam/bumper. it's just the fenders that change. The front airdam/bumper for both modes has to be trimmed on the sides. Say you bought a mode four front. then down the line you bought the mode one fenders, All you do is trim the frontend to make it fit the mode one fenders. Jeff ( really all ) employees at designenergy (mariah) are very helpfull and just good guys !! plus they know thier **** about these very unique cars. I trust them FULLY. There's a plug for you guys,,,,Lol P.S. they check out this forum all the time. they just keep lowpro.

Mark me and setzep were discussing this the other nite, and we both agree that the mariah needs something on the rocker panels... The car is just screaming bad *** bodykit, but look at the plain jane door
checkout www.groundeffects.com and let me know what you think of the 81-85 widebody kit they have...
It has sideskirts , i think its style 361...
However Im confused by what they mean when they say 3 piece kit... Does that mean the front, rear and skirts are all one piece? If so that would be nasty, graphing the front fenders on too

You know, those pics. really don't show much of the car/kit. there is no rear wrap-a-round effects. there is side skirts though. that kit uses your front bumper skin too. it is a widebody though, to me it doesn't look complete. I think the rear fender blister (should) go lower on the body, then blend into something that wraps-a-round the back. that kit # 361 you get the blisters to graph on the front and rear, and below the front bumper, then side skirts to tie together the front to the rear.. for $ 1.400 + bucks you don't get much.
I like the shape of the front end, it looks ok, the fenders look ok, and even the skirts look ok. I don't think it's a real wide body though mike. IMO

Sorry,, and cool ,,,Yeah, the mode one, you get everything in the kit. ask jeff about what to do about adding side skirts to the mode one. they might have to be molded - in ,after the mode one front fenders, and the rear blisters are installed. how the skirts turn out,
would be, how well they are graphed on or ' in ' .. a mode one with side skirts well done, would look awesome..OK Yeah thats right,Anderson's is a mode one
with what looks like mode four skirts, something about those skirts, maybe on the front wheel well, it looks ???
if the front of the skirt was ' shaved' down, the back looks ok like that though. and the rear wraps-a- round.
thats a plus,,looks complete. I don't think the hood is included in the mode one. i could be wrong though.

Mike, as I stated earlier in this thread- Get a Mode one body for the FB, with the Mode 1 rocker panel of the SA.
FB Mode 1:
SA Mode 1:
Note the Rocker Panels..
EQUALS = BAD *** 1st Gen.
Find out if there's a discount if we order at the same time. Maybe we can get a beter deal for 2.

I was gonna wait, until I exhausted all my chances to get a Japan-Spec widebody stuff.
But that may not be happening afterall.
By the way - the Mode ONE and Mode FOUR front ends are NOT the same. I asked them (Mariah) before. They are similar, but the mode ONE is definately wider.
