Want to get a feel for how the wide body kit looks on different fbs.

 

You have lots of choices.Some widebody kits go extremely out there,making the car look like a full blown racecar,creating lines where there were none.Others are more subtle and follow the factory lines while flaring the fenderwells only a moderate amount.Mine is made by Mariah,a well known long standing company.Their kit is true to the factory lines and only flares a bit.
I was also apprehensive about how the final look would appeal to me.Im very happy I went with the moderate look.I added a few custom tweeks to it for a personal touch.It allowed wider tires and wheels,but without making the car look like a GTO racecar or a mutant Porshce.
One word of caution.....the cost of professional,proper installation can,and usually does FAR exceed the purchase cost of the kit.

steve: do you know if you can get the mariah kit with out having to put on a front spoiler?

 

that's a beautiful kit Steve....Lines look awesome and the fenders don't stick out like bookshelves. Good pick!

 

Hows that leif?

 

No,the fenders and front spoiler are integral.While not one piece,the two parts cannot be used without each other.
The alternative if you dont want to change the frontend,would be fender flares.Bolt,rivit or bond on flares are easy to install and much more affordable.They can look very sharp if done right and the right wheels are selected.Some guys like the industrial,race look with exposed rivits.Other like to blend them into the steel fenders for a seamless look.

Not mine, found them surfing yahoo jp auctions

 

I really want to know who makes this kit. I think its just gorgeous. And its really making me want to leave my FC stock and upgrade my SA.

**edit** see pic below

 

Some early photos of my IMSA kit on the 81. Specs at this site:

BTW: mine is for sale.

 

Here's the pic reloaded.

 

Heh,heh...running boards anyone!?
Seriously though,that looks beautiful.

 

this is some pics of my widebody 7.....i had a front end collision with a sand bank and i needed to get a new front end...thats the reason that i have the white 3rd gen front end...it was the only airdam that i could find that was wide enough to fit my fender flares......the center hole is being fiberglassed tomorrow so i should have some up to date pics of the kit finally finished and attached......

the damage u can see on the back right fender is from where a motorcycle hit me...all he did was crack my fiberglass b/c the kit is made of some really solid fiberglass.....im really unsure who makes the kit that i have....i emailed pics to mariah motorsports and they said that it looks a lot like the old IMSA GTO widebody kits that they dont manufacture anymore.....well hope u enjoy the pics

My widebody looks suspiciously similar to yours snapshot..

 

can some of you guys please post more pics of FBs w/ fender flares only..? thanks!

 

where can you get those side skirts???

 

that silver FB is sicccccccccck... Thanks guys for the pics.

widebody kist require widebody rims... wonder if you can use the universal four bolt rims on fbs???

 

That silver FB is wow!

 

Here was the last pic of my widebody, it was still unfinished, and only flat black. But sadly I had a faulty injector catch it on fire. It is bad to look at, but the good news most of it made it out okay, including the motor and turbo. Maybe in a year it will be back up and running. As of right noe I've moved my attention on the second gen RX-7 I own.

 

that black widebody 7 is hot ! post more pics of the front and rear and motor pics as well!

 

That air dam is sweet, especially the side diffusers. I don't recognize it, is it all custom or did you base it off something?

 

besides CP racing, who else makes fender flares for the FB's???

 

Here's some...

 

Steve, what does the air duct feed that is above your bumper and looks to exit the hood? Oil cooler?
