No disrespect, Magus2222, Let me acknowledge that that widebody setup, looks Good on that Z, But, Pretty soon, everyone, will be sending pictures of the widebody BMW'S, Porche's, Vettes. I'm trying to keep this in house,). Being that said,,, here's a member who used the bolt on fender kits and molded them in for a different style Widebody. Mind you anything I post, picture wise, doesn't mean I like it or hate it, I just put it out there to get the juices flowin (stimulate ideas)

You must be talking about |)arkSpeed7. If so, I'm really glad he is coming through with the build of his car. I haven't heard anything one way or the other for quite some time.

its a well built and very well planned widebody, but it changes the look of the car completely, like the way the vielside fortuna changes the look of the FD.
idk, anyways, i posted that first comment drunk, so, my appologies

Rob XX 7 , I think I already mentioned, I own 3 verts, One, I keep pretty much stock, because who needs to mess with pretty close to perfection. Another One is my custom vert , at Sevenstock it's about 50 / 50 , Some, like it some hate it, doesn't bother me, bottom line is I enjoy being seen in it, driving it and that's all that counts, also it seems to get people thinking, and if that's the case I'm doing my job. The 3rd one, is perhaps for my next project.or to sell if I need $$$ I lean more towards a project car for the future. I love verts , it's perfect for the San Diego lifestyle. I like to eventually see a Major Vert Cruise Gathering, for local Northern and Southern California, FC's , which All other FC's vert owners fromALL States, would be welcomed. It Will happen One Day. I just need to keep vert owners informed, and try to organize chapters.

Awh, Sarcasm, works for me sometimes. But I try to avoid it, when I can, Actually it would be awesome, I would hope some of my fellow Vert lovers in the East Coast, and the Midwest, could try to Organize a local Cruise in your areas, but Just for verts, over here in Calif, there's plenty of scenic cruzin to do, In the mountains nice curvy roads , in the desert, beautiful landscaping, and the coastline, Pacific highway , Malibu, Santa Barbra, the Bay Area. You get the idea. If only 3 verts show up, at first, Thats a start.

Either way, I hope Juiceh shows us the pics when he finishes the car. It's definitely extreme, but it's cool to see something different. Widebody is a hard thing to pull off and a lot of cars come out looking fat, as-in fat-suit lol. As mentioned by someone else, Juceh's kind of widebody does kind of make it more 944-esque, but that's not a bad thing for most people. It still looks althetic, and not fat. When I saw RX-heven's modifications years ago, I thought it might look nice to actually widen the front bumper as well so the transistion from wide fender to bumper would flow a little nicer... but I have no PS skills.

Well Rotordad, I started it, to get mostly , the newer vert members , (but all members too), restimulated in Juiceh's Vert, and also hoping, that Juiceh would see this post , and get on the ball and post his picts. but as I was doing this I relized by some of the comments that the vert widebody was too extreme, to some, so I started to inform some of the members of other options, for there verts. Also giving the title King of the Verts offended some members, because as you know there's verts of many styles and powerful motors that could Own that title. So for now I'll rename the title as "Juich, King of the Extreme Widebody Verts". also I want to push my agenda , which is to unite all vert owners, for Stateside, Our Vert brothers overseas, know how to do One day I like to see something like this see picts.) Also for all you vert people , look me up on my very 1st Introduce Yourself Post, Currently found under the Introduce Yourself Posts section, you'll get an idea who I am, and my passion.

If you went to my Very 1st" Introduce Yourself "Post, you'll see So Many styles of verts, to each his or her own. We design them for ourselfs, not for others, and maybe deep down inside we hope others will like it too, BUT, there's that ole saying, We can't please everybody, and that's sooo true.

>My Opinion<
I dislike widebodys on almost anything not only fc's. The reason, No one uses sheet metal or hardly knows how to work sheet metal, It's all fiberglass/plastic, bondo filled BS in my opinion. I would like to see a fc that has had sheet metal work done id respect that 110%

Well I respect your opinion & will say that metal work is a beautiful when done right. Fiberglass fenders make it easier for the do it your selfer to perform this type of mod. So is it the materials used, the way it was done or the fact of being widebody you don't like? At the end of the day a widebody is a widebody, the route taken to get there maybe different, but the fact is you either like widebodys or you don't. I personally like stock lines & widebody FC's, that's why own one of each.
