Not digging the front at all - it looks like a fish or somthing... But rear looks kinda intresting.
Btw - if headlight gets busted - how are ya planing to remove it from there ? Nice work... -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

This is only the plug, thats why its all smoothed together, In the kits it will all be seperate sections. so in case of a busted light you will remove the bumper as you would on an original one.

QUOTE Not keen on the bit in front of the front wheels. I'd prefer a more fluid, rounded look to the whole of the front. The rear isn't extreme enough for me (I want it to be obvious to everyone when looking at the rear from any angle that it has a widebody kit) and I have PM'd the original poster with a suggestion on that last count. Other than those minor dislikes, I think it looks damn sexy. Other than one firm in Japan this will be the first widebody kit in production if it happens so I am sure it will sell well as long as the fit quality is there.

it looks pretty nice, although the front isnt my thing. i would prefer to just buy the rear fenders.

I think it looks really nice. The front is a bit too out there for me, I tend to like smoother and sleeker lines. But the only question I have is (like any widebody "kit"), how exactly do you sell the parts for the rear quarter panels? My understanding is that you would have to get it welded on, it's not exactly a "bolt-on" job. And welding isn't cheap, at least from my experience. Really great idea though! Nice work! Where are you located?

same opinions as the ones above.
the rear is nice and it's subtle yet not too wide or over-done. the front is another story. but this is great news nonetheless! will there be a kit for the gt-four owners? -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
