Questions About These Cars

I came across these cars on the net and wanted to know a few questions about them...

What front & rear bumper covers, side skirts, rear spoiler & wheels are on this car?







What wide body kit is this? How wide are the fenders? 30mm or more? What size wheels would you have to run to have this look? Is that a regular carbon fiber hood that can be purchased or is it custom?





This is the sickest FC I've ever seen. Is that front bumper custom or can it be purchased? It looks custom and was riveted onto the front. What about the hood? Is that the same wide body kit as the above primered one?

I'm not sure about the first one, I know the second is custom cut and flared and the third, is a custom front...it looks like a FD front with '99 lights. I've seen the third one up close, very nice and clean.

The grey widebody is my car and it is a one-off custom job. I am offering a group buy on the full kit or parts of it as needed. The link to the group buy is in my sig along with many other pics and info.
The fenders are approximately 4" (100 mm) wider all the way around, possibly up to 4-1/2" (110 mm). No wider fenders out there...period.
The hood is fron Panspeed.

The red FC was just featured in some magazine but I have seen it personally at Sevenstock the last few years. Very nice car and it won best 2nd gen at Sevenstock this year. It has a GP Sports kit I believe.

The third car is Carl Bycks car and mine is better
His fenders are knock-offs from Tri-Point Engineering and the nose is a one-off basically and not available. My fenders were originally the same as his but we totally reshaped them to cover up more of the tire and allow them to accomodate an even wider tire.
Carl helped develop that hood on his car I believe and it might be available somewhere still. His is a track only car and is very fast but would be faster with me behind the wheel.
How ya like that Carl?

18 x 11 on the front with 295/30/18 and can run up to a 335/30/18 maybe.
18 x 12 in the rear with 335/30/18 and can run up to a 355/30/18.
