meh i think if it's done right and with some class then sure they are ok.
however it seems that most people fall under the bigger and badder is better. so many widebody's look horrible.
and they add weight so i say nah.

going widebody is SICK! it's pretty rare to see unless you're at a show or somethin...
i've seen nice widebody cars, and even POOR widebody cars... it all depends on WHO DOES THE BODY WORK!
going widebody isn't just going widebody... you still have to get some SUPER rims to fill in the gaps... and on top of that, you wouldnt want to be all show with no go now would you? so then you'd have to gain power, and that aint cheap...
just my 2 cents...

I dont think most people would even come close to using a FD widebody to its full potential and a lot of the styles are weird. some people have fit 285's all around on 18x10 wheels under STOCK bodywork on an FD... not many people "need" a widebody or would do it for anything other than to look cool, which is fine, just kinda silly sometimes.
FCs take quite well to widebody setups, Version Select, BMagic and Tripoint are SICK setups... you can fit some much needed tire under wider front FC fenders.
maybe I'm partial to widebody rx7's though

if it set wider than stock form, is considered wide nevertheless. it isnt as extreme as your use to seing!
even though it just has fender add-ons.

bodybody is the hotness IF ITS DONE RIGHT
it's really easy to make widebody look like *** but if its doen right, good lord
i second the burnout kit...that thing is a rolling work of art and it almost looks stock

some pictures. imo some widebodies can look pretty ugly, bigger isnt always better. but as socalrotor said you do need a nice set of rims. im running 17 by 10s in the back with 275s and 17 by 8s in the front with 245s and i think it fills it in perfectly.

hey ludi-kriss, is that jeff's old car?? if it is, take good care of it 
dyamn! 10 grand for the RE Widebody kit? that 10 grand can go towards to much more than just a body kit! i'd get a sick a$$ paint job and some tight a$$ rims with that money, instead of an unpainted/uninstalled widebody kit... that's kind of a no brainer if you ask me.
but then again, if you're a baller with money hanging out of URAS, then it ain't no thang!

the best widebodies on 7s that ive seen are the RRR racing car and one of their customers 87 FC with RE Ameiya front end and sideskirts rolling on ( 10 in the front 11 in the rear ) CCWs pushing 350hp to the wheels
