ok ! if i was to widen my '4' with flared wheel arches, how sould i do it.... ?

just pull out the arch and keep the basic shape of the celica just give her more curv......................
or go with the nissan/JDM tuning look, of color coded arch extentions (like the wheel arches on the Audi TT)....................

i think either would look good but i can't deside which idea to follow, as a project it's still way off but i need to get the idea straght in my head first........

The problem with the rear would be taillight design. i think I read that soundslut widened his rear by pulling out his back fenders. I think it would be cool to slice a line through the rears, widen them weld in a piece, cut out the inner fender, extend the gas line, space out the wheels and design new tails or supra them. Im surprised plyr hasn't jumped on this yet

haha i'm right here mads

for the rear PERSONALLY
if you want to widen then i'd have sumone make you a f/g kit
that keeps the stock curve but just pushes it out about 2" on eachside or so
like cut off the entire rear buldge
then weld in a 2.5" strip to extend the top of the curve and reweld the cut off piece back into place
but when i do widen my car i'll be keeping the JDM celica tails and not redesigning the rear
