That's execution, which always matters

Not sure which definition you looked up, but imo a widebody should flow all the way from the front bumper to the fenders to the skirts to the rear bumper. Not just the bolt on fender flares. Now I agree 100% some of the kits look good and some don't flow with the natural lines of the car. I'm sure a lot of people will disagree with me, but to call bolt on flares "widebody" is rediculous to me. But, to each their own I suppose.

Iv just never been a fan of seeing people drill holes in the body of the car. I wont lie, some of them can look quite nice but for some reason I feel like rocket bunny isnt really the direction to go with a widebody kit.

Getting a pre fabed widebody is far safer a choice then getting your fenders cut, pulled, welded and custom made. Your relying on a shop to do proper, top tier body work. Hard pill to swallow when I actually got it done that way on my 350z back in 09'

There's one guy who had that done on his rear fenders. Looked really wide and almost stock. Not sure if he's on here it was a red sport

yeah, it turned out horribly...and I believe the owner put it up for sale very soon after it was done. Poorly executed and a definite example of what NOT to do.

So by your logic, every lifted truck with bolt on fender flares is a wide body?

By definition... Yes. The profile of the car is in fact wider than OEM.

I thought the work done to extend the fenders out themselves was pretty nice, the rest of the car... not so much.

Doing these for few years my take is if something is made for the car rather then aligning the car to the parts as some wide body execution, it looks better. We have installed Moonbeam kits full and partial and most of the time it's the full kit which has side blades, lip, diffuser and other parts for widebody looks better, that's what rocket bunny does on most cars looks better as they ask you to change it all. Seen few Nissan/Infiniti with just flares slapped and unfortunately nothing flows and car started looking uglier

If not wrong we have the smallest size rear fenders, although 3" wide but found them the most difficult part to be made keeping body lines in tact

You can't half *** the build. Like big wings with stock aero

Unfortunately it's execution like this that ruins it for those of us who do a bolt on overfender correctly and spend the time and money to make them look, fit and flow right...
