Very nice! Not a huge fan of wide body kits, but If I ever got one this one would be it! Its super wide and yet doesn't make the curvy FD look like a box. Keep those pics coming and good luck with the build!

I always loved the rocket bunny kits on the 240sx. This kit is growing on me and looks much better than some others but I would just be worried about the long term with the over fenders. I like the air dam between fender and hood.

Waiting to see full pics as well. By chance (since ur working with the kit) do u think that its possible to fit that kit with a different front bumper? Wasn't sure how the front over-fenders fit with the front.

Can someone do the black render above in red? All the red FD3s RB images floating around appear to be an older version of the kit, perhaps in a concept stage. For example, the rear fenders in the renderings online are not as bulged out as the production kit. The black one up top though, looks like the final version.

Would love to see it in red, debating ordering this and will be doing a bunch of modifications to the body work. Some angles I love it, other I hate...which I will need to fix

Putting on he wheels. Note to anyone getting this kit. If your rear wheels lines up with the rear fender flare. Everytime you want to change your rear tires, you have to remove the side skrits first. Cuz they will be in your way. Looks like I need spacers.

That came out looking awesome! Nice job. Personally I'm not a fan of wide fenders and the like on FD's but it looks like you guys did a great job and turned it around really fast! I'm a little over a year on mine and still not done. Kudos.
