Anyone know where I can get one cheap, cause i bet its gunna cost to have put on and repaint the whole car

RE: Wide Body
 

wide bodys are not cheap at all. the ones for the supras go for $10,000 by TRD

RE: Wide Body
 

Ya there is TONS of work involved with installing a wide body, I hope you know they just don't bolt on.......

the dia-mond one is nice but the kaminari one is ugly.. i think they add too much wieght..it will cost a lot more to instal the kit than to buy the kit

RE: Wide Body
 

I personally like the quheeves(750 kit) www.groundeffex.com has if for cheap too.

RE: Wide Body
 

Go to www.aerotrends.com they have the same kit shown on here but for cheaper. You would have to bondo and smooth it yourself but its not that much. Im getting ready to do it to my eclipse

RE: Wide Body
 

Shouldn't bondo that, hit a nice curb and who whole thing will crack off, use bondoglass or a epoxy/resin filler for strenght, then go over that with a plastic filler for a easy to sand smooth finish.

check this site www.racerwheel.com

RE: Wide Body
 

yea so when you are going to buy the kit don't forget that you still need to have it painted and installed. So you should take that into account when pricing them.

RE: Wide Body
 

Yeha remember if you don't know anything about bodywork then it's likely a bad idea to try it yourself. Bolt on mods you can get away with doing yourself without knowing much but the body is a whole different story. Fitting will never be perfect, then you have teh sanding, the priming, and the painting. Sanding requiring 5 or 6 different full sanding runs on it... Bah screw that I'll leave that crap to the profesionals.

RE: Wide Body
 

Honestly i know stuff happens but i dont hit curbs man. Been driving for 4 years and have never even scratched my car.

RE: Wide Body
 

Accidents are called accidents for a reason, I have been driving for 4 years also and I was parked at a wawa and some drunk lady backed into my car, wrecked my front fender, if I ahd a wide body kit on the car I would have been toast.

RE: Wide Body
 

what people dont understand is just teh weight of your boddy leaning on it will crack the fibergalss. NESpeeds RX-7 has stress cracks on the corners of his bumper, you cant avoid it from happening.

Now god forbid you slowly roll into a pot hole or a parking spot and bump the front end. you will crack it pretty good. and if something of speed hits it for get it fiberGLASS it will shatter. I have even seen hail storms blow wholes into fiber glass kits.

RE: Wide Body
 

all the reason why I wouldnt waiste my time or money on fiberglass. Fiberglass kits are cheaper to buy but ALOT more labor to put on and will cost you more after install than just buying Ploy urethane from the start and having it put on.

urethane is a direct fit too and no cracking;)

RE: Wide Body
 

also the urethane i think can be heated to fit so even if it doesnt directly fit then its cheaper to get to fit perfectly.

RE: Wide Body
 

urethane is NOT cheaper to buy than fiberglass but after all the labor of paint and install id bet urethane end up cheaper since there is no prep needed...and if not after time it will be since you wont ever need to repare stress cracks and stuff like that

RE: Wide Body
 

thats what i was saying is that the installation will definetly be cheaper

RE: Wide Body
 

Yes BUT also on the flipside SOME things just aren't supported for Urethane. I STILL can't find a Eurethane kit for my Sentra. Fiberglass is my ONLY option with it.

RE: Wide Body
 

that depends on the makers... Wings west is all urethane. Blitz offers the choice. and Razzi is something similar to urethane

RE: Wide Body
 

Not for the Sentra. Trust me I've been looking. I got a 7K check a few years back and hunted EVERYWHERE for a eurethane kit and couldn't find one. Couldn't find hardly any kits either...

RE: Wide Body
 

well the ones I named if they make a kit for that car it will not be fiberglass (maybe not always blitz though) I know for a fact WW only does urethane now and Razzi isnt fiberglass maybe those companies dont make em for your car??

RE: Wide Body
 

it just might be possible that they wouldn't make a kit for your car because its a sentra. not much of a market.... ya know:D

RE: Wide Body
 

Which is really a surprise with all the Spec-V and se-R's running around. The body is EXACTLY the same the suspension and engine are different... But last I checked WW doesn't makes kits for me well... None of those make kits for me :(
