Mariah Motorsports Body Kit



What size wheels/tires will fit under they fenders? They look really wide. Isn't that a nice looking body kit?

I like the mariah stuff,,their 2ed gen stuff has a twist
that i like,,for example,,that white 3 rotor,turbo,that
was there project car,that they sold,,,the colours in
the photo of the 1st gens are,,,,lets say,they could be
better,,i've got a mode four on my 82,but my paint is
shot,,have a look at jose reyes's car,,there are a few,
very few,,wide body kits for 1st gens that a person
can afford,,thats why i bought the mode four,,it's
enough change from stock,but not an all out,full blown,
hard to afford wide body.the wheels on the mariah 1st
gens are 15 inch X 8 inch's,,the 2ed gens,i think are larger on the rears, then the fronts...i still like the mariah
2ed gens,better then what i own,,one of these days,i'll
get another 2ed gen,that i'll keep,and do the mariah thing
to it,,but for now,,i'm 1st gen,mode four

Well the car pictured in the top pic is the standard MODE-1 widebody but, the Silver car in the 2nd pic, is a special one-off project they did with wider GTO racing rear fenders.

The standard set-up is either 15" or 16" wheels with 225 wheels all around or you can get wider wheels in the rear and run a 245. If you get custom wheels made, you can fit 265s on the rear.

The silver car was actually running 285 on a 10" rim.

Hope this helps.. If you really want the straight scoop, call Jeff at Mariah and tell him to break all down for you.

805.965.5115

BTW, the red 2nd gen MODE-6 car in the pic runs

17x9.5 front and 17x11.5 in the rear with 315 tires.

I have an 84 that i bought and it has the airdam on the front and the wraparound lip/wing thing on the back, no side or rear skirts, it has the targa-7 top if that helps, any ideas on the type of body kit that was installed (i'm looking to eventually go mariah widebody (as wide as possible) with the super-tail on the back, call me a ricer but i think it looks schweeeet.

cheers'

Yes, to each their own. I as well like the Mariah products. Not that I own any of yet. I hope to in time though, get the tall aero wing, the hatch kit, and the hood at least for my car. The front airdam, and rear and side skirts as well. I don't yet know if I will go wide body yet, as I really don't like the front end of the car wide like that. I had hoped to see a photo-chop of what it would look like with a wide body rear, tall aero wing, hatch, hood, rear and side skirts, and airdamn. Oh well, like I said, to each their own.

That is Actually Beautiful. I like the wraparound wing, and definitely like the rocker panels under the doors. Makes it look that much more agressive.

However, If I could... I would go with this..

What body kit is that? It looks nice. It makes the car look kind of like a Ferrari.
