is this wide body pimp or gimp?



eh i did like the front at first..but then you would have to get the wider fenders so that it would fit...so i say this is a GIMP!
the body kit is at this site
http://www.bn-sports.co.jp/

and since we are on the topic of kits... i was gonna get this one.....well i can tell takakaira.com to get it for me..

pimp or gimp?

yeah looks killer but you would need to have 300 to the wheels to back up that body kit because everyone with a "H" on their car would want a piece of that. Plus a kit like that molded and painted would run 7k easy if not more

the fenders look wider and smoother on the blue car. I think the yellow one has stock fenders.but as far as the bumper and skirts.. same.

im going with the corksport fenders up front, I think ill be fine in the back for now.

IMO those seem out of place on a FC too smooth, gotta have some edges on the FC.

naw the yellow car is stock side fenders...so its not so gimp...

although this style is extreamly exaggerated...this is somewhat popular in japan to SOME people or people with bad taste.... i think they stick out too wide......they call em "blister" style... *shrug
the front fender is usually what you'd find on drift style body kits...

i would have to say the only way that would be acceptable would be on a track only car, kinda like the yellow one looks to be made up like...except for the hideous rims on it.

Ummm... I'm pretty sure those aren't the same kits, check the lights, body line thingie running down the length of the cars, definately not the same kit buddys.
Personally I'm thinkin' www.pimp-as.com. I would get that kit, wonder how it would look with a wing of sorts - who's good on photoshop? Those rims are quite trick too. I don't usually like wide bodied FC's but this one is good for me for some reason.

mwhaha u know what the rims look like? its like they installed it backwards and there is a HUUGE deep dish look... but i dunnno....reminds me of lowrider rims...
you can clearly see the rim because its more like a drift setup...because they sqeeze the tires on so that it doesnt fly off when going sideways...
ill try to photoshop it with normal looking rims...

The blue car has wide body with 4 piece wrap. The yellow car is just a 4 piece wrap. The 4 piece kit is the same on both cars but obviously the blue car has wide body panels. Pimp or gimp? depends on how much you like rice.
