It's custom, based off of the 15th Anniversary over fenders. If you really want to know more, just PM the dude.

Yeah, sorry Ive been neglecting to check my PMs, but its custom, and based off the Mazdaspeed 15th anniverary, RE JGTC widebody, and R magic widebody. I didnt want to wait or pay the amount RE or R-magic wanted for thier kit, so decided to just make a more streetable, and custom verison of my 3 favorite kits . It was a PITA, and took 6 months to do, but Im happy with it. I did some sort of a write up on how and what materials I used to make it awhile back, however, I forgot what the thread was called.

Crash, is there any chance that we might be able to follow in your footsteps now that you've allready done it? Do the people that made it for you still have the molds and stuff? That is by far the best widebody kit I've come across yet...

Nice T88! that kit is amazing and great deal...I just don't have the money to get in on the gb . Chuck is also a real cool guy to work with, he makes nothing but premium products - you won't be dissapointed in any way.

Edit: Btw, if you guys haven't seen this kit yet, I'd say it's worth a look. Normally RE Amemiya's widebody kit is like $10,000 but for this year they sell it for $8,000. Chuck's is $3700 I beleive and without a doubt atleast the same quality as the RE Amemiya. Still too much for me though right now . anyways...here's the URL: http://rotaryextreme.com/rewidebody.html


Also, I think he has some discount if you get some other products with it like the AD9 hood too (such a nice hood!).

IMO they suck....no ofence Crash, your car is hot but when it comes to the back end it starts to get square angles. I love curves like on a beautiful woman, so heres my recomendation for a realy wide wide Seven. Its cheap for the original and flows so well with the car it looks like it was made like that. No bumps no lumps just smooth curves. Its going to cost me $4800 NZ dollars to get the full kit, this should be about $2400 US for you fellas. The nice thing about this kit is that its dam new and no one has it. There is one problem though......my question still stands, "How fucken wide are the tyres going to have to bee to fit this thing????"

Any way heres the link to all the pics. Its not the first pic of the orange FD...(that one sux)...keep going I posted all round pics of it, its the yellow FD. The make of kit is BN-Sports and its called the Blister kit.

That is one of the UGLIEST FD's I've ever seen!!! And you're calling Crashunits widebody ugly?!?! I think you know when someone's full of **** when they start talking about "I hope I can find wide enough wheels to fit under that"...I'm looking for a wide enough body to fit OVER MY WHEELS, not the other way around! Nice rims too, BLING BLANG!!

hehe, I guess I was a (little?) bit too harsh...my sincere apologies. But seriously, how can you say that the *** end of that car looks nicer than Crashunit's FD? I mean, it looks like something a ricer boy in a civic or integra would flop on the back of his car.

Btw, I do LOVE the way the back of Crash's widebody melds with the stock body, but I don't really like the way it looks in the front with the vent covers. Everyone has their own tastes though, so I'm sorry for my comments to you.

Here's some pics of my next best alternative to the 2002 Widebody Kit:



If that's large enough to fit 11" wheels I'd probably go for it, but since Chuck doesn't make a copy of it I'd have to get it straight from Japan. That would be even more expensive than the 2002 kit he is copying, so I don't really see the point. Looks damn nice though IMO.
