So who's gonna do the first custom wide body?

CBRich · 01-22-2010, 03:02 PM

Funny how it looks so good at an angle but so odd and boxy from behind.

bullitt5897 · 01-22-2010, 03:24 PM

I for one would like to see the car a little bit wider. 25mm-50mm each side would really set off the curves of the 370z without being too wide. I am going big power so I need the extra space

I can't wait to see what kinda power you have in mind.

bullitt5897 · 01-22-2010, 10:06 PM

We are looking as an end goal of 1000rwhp on a 4.5L block. I need as much rubber as possible! I know it won't daily drive at that power but there will be a map for it. You know for those supra's, ferrari's and lambos I may run across

I have one for you...

So I'm dropping off my car for some touch up. They are fixing another shops major F up on a widebody kit. Basically a newer Camaro. Here's the thing...there must be 100 holes drilled in the body where the old kit was mounted, right along the sides.

Granted the old shop screwed this thing up but do all widebody kits mount this way. No way in heck I would drill holes along the whole side of any car, is that the norm?

armensti · 01-22-2010, 11:08 PM

i would be interested in a wide body kit but wouldnt it make the car harder to park in tight spaces

BLUESLATE · 01-23-2010, 06:34 PM

How about this one?

FS: Time To Move On, Selling my Widebody Chameleon Z - G35Driver

JDM Super GT inspired body kit. AFAIK, it is 1 of 2 body kit in the whole world. Of course, it is more show than racing purpose as you can see. None-the-less, a crazy about of time, work, and money had been invested into his Z.

simota1 · 01-23-2010, 06:49 PM

that thing looks crazy!!!!! haha damn pretty sick though man!!!

SophiaZ · 01-23-2010, 07:22 PM

I was serious about the wide body kit for my 350 (sold it before I got too serious tho) BUT as far as the 370 goes...this car is wide enough..any more than stock IMO will look ridiculous! Atleast go for the Amuse kit...looks more aggressive and stylish. I say NAY FOR THE WIDE KIT!!!!! I'm going for the Nismo S-Tune

Amuse costs too damn much

motoextreme · 01-24-2010, 12:44 AM

Blows me away the $ these guys spend on these cars. I know most of it is sponsored but man oh man..

I'm not a fan of that style paint and the body kit is pretty crazy but I appreciate the work that went into that car. Almost too much to take in at one time

BLUESLATE · 01-24-2010, 12:49 AM

Yes there are some sponsors, but 90% builds are from their own pockets.

However, they do receive some deep discounts on many products from various "hook-ups".
