seriously. a baseball bat to roll your fenders would turn out better than bolt on 'wide body'

there was another member here that did some custom widebody to his car. wasn't everyone's taste but he atleast did true to 'hella-flush'

Sound like everyone's arguing semantics and aesthetics, neither of which is productive

The big wing doesn't bother me if the rest of the mods are track mods, but a bolt on wide body kit with hella flush wheels with stretched tired and a huge wing, rofl, that is just STUPID

Can we not derail yet another thread with individual value judgments on style?

I mean , I see people dropping thousands of dollars on twin turbo kits but roll with stock suspension and wheels, which is lame to me but what they want. All of the last page is just nonsense about what different people want out of their cars

I'm pretty sure RocketBunny hasn't produced a wide body kit for the 370z because it takes a great amount of design creativity to make a good flowing wide body kit for a car that already has a great flowing wide body

From a purely aesthetic standpoint, i think the flaw is the rear end. There's alot of overhang on that rear bumper, probably as a concession to platform sharing with the G, which requires a certain amount of trunk space + rear seats and what not.

Part of that can be hidden or balanced out, imo, with even wider flares. Just a visual cue for me. For example, the Supra Mkiv has MASSIVE front/ rear over hangs that make it look like a fat ugly pig in near stock form. Widebody ones, however, look ok.

As for rocket bunny and "add-on" flares, anything can look good when executed correctly. I've seen some add on flares from various companies where the arches don't line up with the curves of whatever front/rear bumpers are on the car, and no amount of wheel fitment or big wing or flashy paint can cover that up for me

Wiggins, whether you like add on flares or not, is putting effort into good execution, so you gotta give him props for that. Plus the amuse kit + wide = sex. The rear bumper smooths out the over hang issue because it extends the rear bumper out in a rounded way (midline pokes out but tapers in toward the bottom of the bumper), giving the illusion of a slimmer, tighter rear end. Like good fitting yoga pants make rear end look better

The "rocket bunny" or "bolt on" style fenders are just modernizing the old school wide body look. Whether it's bolted on or molded on, wide body is wide body. How you decide to install is your own preference.

But back onto topic, I'm sure we'll get a RB kit soon.

I have nothing against bolt-on flairs if done right. Most of the stuff today looks like over-kill.
