and my personal favorite kit is...
There is another Kit out there i just can't remember where right now, but it's right up there with this purple one as a personal favorite. Maybe someone here can remember it? It was silver and the pic was taken inside a shop and I think the poster said it was somewhat abandoned. Anyway when you look at it from the front, you'd swear it was a Porsche 959.... OH, SO SWEET!

The reverse scoops are very functional, they let the hot air out so that more cold air can get in.

I like that last drawing the best. All the previous drawings look too much like the stuff thats all ready out there. Keep it up!
BTW... is this something you're seriously considering fabricating?
...THIS JUST IN !!!
I just got a call out of the blue today, from a guy I know that want to sell me his Mariah WideBody 1st. gen. I have too many projects as it is, so I'll probably end up selling it shortly afterwards.
I took pics of it last year, I'll post them if I can find em' if anyone is interested.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
The biggest problem with all these widebody kits is that they try to re-use or replicate the stock bumper cover -- and that just does not work. Also, if you're not going to use the stock side moulding, fill in the channel.
The one directfreak posted has the right idea, if that's even an FB

The reverse sccops are too close to the back of the headlight buckets... try moving them further back or more toward the center. further back would actually allow the engine bay to cool... if you moved it more toward the center you could build custom shrouds to duct the air through the rad and ic after replacing the clutch fan with an electric replacement.
As for the back end I'm not one for the rear fins... but go for it if you want its your car and your vision.
I will be doing a custom kit that may or may not be available, it depends on the cost factor.
I will draw some stuff up soon.
Laters and keep up the good work
