S13 Coupe - Widebody?

[punch]

I am seriously contemplating going widebody on my S13 but after searching Zilvia and googling, I can't find a setup that really impresses me. Any pics or thoughts on what type of widebody manufacturer I should consider for an S13 Coupe/Silvia front end. I would like to retain the sharper lines of the coupe and I don't like vented front fenders. TIA.

from what ive seen, vented front fenders are hard to avoid when going widebody on our cars.

Try searching harder. TIZ

I'll check out BN Sports.

I also am not a big fan of vented fenders, but got my fronts for $100. For rears, the BN sports ones are OK, but like the OP, I love the sharp lines of the coupe's rear, where the trunk plane hits the fender at a sharp 75* angle or so, and don't want to lose that when going wide in the rear.

The solution I like best is to add cheap overfenders (I'm getting mine from Chris at Modiride USA, one of the local body kit makers) and have the body shop do the smoothing/finishing work when I go in for paint - it'll still come out cheaper than the BN Sports rears, but is not a rivet-and-go solution.

get the new version select box style rear fenders. they have an R32ish look to them. as for the fronts.. if the vents bother you that much, just fiberglass them over.

Man, do you have wheels in mind or are you just plan on picking someout later? Widebody's look hott! But believe me, they look retarded with sunken in wheels.

my .02, is to pick some wheels first and find out how wide the widebody needs to be and if you actually have the change left over to get it done.

Make your wide body. If I was in the states and had the access to raw material that I do not have here, I would be making everything.

Good point. I have 18x9.5/18x10.5 Volk RE30s in matte black. Offsets are +15 F and +18 R - I think but I don't recall.

I am thinking that the origin 30 mm rear and 20 mm front will work out.

I could fit that shit under stock fenders.

In fact, I have those exact offsets in the rear, and I had to use spacers.

I agree it fits under stock fenders/quarters with a flare. The fronts are rears are already flared.

Do you have the 30 mm kit? Did you have to use spacers with the kit?

[punch]

I'm running a 295 MXs in the rear right now and plan on moving to the 315 Falkens so hopefully the 30 mm rears will work out fine.

Go with the orgin rolled rear wide quater panles. Those would be the ones that I would get
