26b and Veilside Fortune Kit

I was curious about 2 things I love mixing. Would one be able to stuff an NA 26b into an fd with the veilside fortune body kit on it? Would there be any foreseeable complications in the process of doing this? It's my personal dream car and hearing the 787B in Han's beast would complete me. After doing a little research I was just curious as to if I could have both of these marvelous things in one build or if I would just have to go 1 or the other so I can plan accordingly. Thanks ahead of time.

Given an infinite amount of disposable income? Sure. There's nothing about a 4-rotor that would prevent you from using that body kit.

No issues with doing this whatsoever. The kit has no impact on the engine bay dimensions and several people have installed quad rotors.

You just need really deep pockets. I’m into my widebody for a ridiculous amount and I am still running a 13B.

A show quality Veilside Fortune with wheels and a nice interior, plus a 26B done properly with all supporting mods will run you the best part of $100k USD if not more

Would be an epic project though!

I see, then that settles it. If it's just a matter of money then that just equates to time. Might take a bit but It's a dream and a goal at the end of the day for me then. Thank you for answering my question @all c= I greatly appreciate it.

Defined auto stuck a 20b in a stock body. I think it's got some chassis work, though.

Lots and lots of money and time. You're gonna be stuck in the good-fast-cheap paradox, except cheap and fast won't be options.

Very few people have been able to complete 4 rotors. You're more likely to succeed with just the body kit. Lots of people ask about it 4 rotors, and the ones that pull it off don't have to ask.

Best of luck, but you're staring straight up Everest or K2. Probably better to climb some smaller mountain first.

The possible chassis work was the big thing i was curious about concerning the build. I'd imagine that'd screw up the fortune portion of the build but I'm totally aware that I'm looking at a build that'd basically be my life's work in the car world. I was actually looking at the $30k 4 rotor defined auto provides n that was my plan. I'll see if I can get ahold of em to see if I can find some answers n I'll go from there. Thank you for your input though =D I appreciate reality being thrown in my face. No time to be wasted.
