This seems like it would be pretty tight. I just don't know if i like the way the front fender meets the door. If anyone has seen this in person please tell me if it blend in well! I don't know if I could through down $4000 for the wide body kit, but it does come w/ front bumper w/ fog lights and indicators, Rear bumper, Complete wide front fenders, Door flares,
Rear wide fender flares, Side skirts, Rear Mirrors and round rear lights. Tell me what you think

i know alot of people think it looks not so good, but if there were 240's still, i hope thats what they would look like.
it knocks any other kit out the box, if i had the dough to dish on anything i wanted for an s13, it would be either very stock or very that.
it's too awesome for a rational person to conceive putting it on their car.

Think of the weight that you would be adding to an already heavy car. What a great non functional kit. Rice on wit yo bad self!

I don't think you'd be adding much weight. The whole kit is fiberglass which wouldn't be any heavier than the stock body pieces. And you can also accomodate huge tires all around.

Taking a look at the other pics on the site, I don't think I really care for it much. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

ive seen a few different posts about this kit and everyone says it is "non functional". well actually, it is a functional widebody kit and the vents in the side actually do lead the the brakes to cool them down, so it is actually functional. i like the taillights though. i'm gonna get em i think.

And exactly how many widebody kits have you seen where the doors meet the fenders?
Coldsun
05-09-2002, 11:10 AM
oh very few
i've seen wide bodys smoothed to the door though, like the Pink Dragon accord, if you ever seen it, or the HKS Altezza
either way, i've definately seen alot more body kits that handle it better then that...

I wouldn't really call that a widebody kit. It's more like a huge ass front bumper and some fender flares... Looks like some kinda new age pac-man or somethin

Given that Top Secret's wide body kit on the Supra does cut some weight off since all the fenders are replaced with FG....this is far from being something like that.
Having first hand knoledge since my friends at Bozz Speed actually weighed their car before and after the kit was installed....but look at that 240sx. If you guys seriously think that the thing is functional you should stop smoking crack and get a clue.
The day I see a car like that actually perform well on the track and not Hot Import Nights is the day I buy a civic and a Shogun Kit.
You know what that wide body is designed to accomodate?....probibly neon lights. Yup I'm sure that you could cram some 19x10 rims under there...you ever driven a car that had 10's all the way around on the street? It actually isn't that fun....you get alot of road steer...ALOT.
I'm sure Nismo, C-West or Ings are just waiting to copy that kit for their next project.

Umm, let me get this right, you're saying CWest is going to make a knockoff kit? I think you're getting them mixed up with another company. CWest makes some of the best body kits around. They actually wind-tunnel test them.

Sun that is some of the funniest sh*t I have heard in a while.
I think it looks like a cheaply made 944 porsche (I obviously can't afford it if I can't spell it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> ) If you want it go and get it big guy just don't come crying to me when someone pees on it...consider this your warning and I am drinking more water as we speak <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Uh hello is my sarcasim that hard to catch? Or do I have to explain the joke I was trying to make?
As far as quality kits...I do know something about that. KnightSports wind tunnel tests their kits too...and I had 6k worth of thier kit on my FD when it was stolen.

Actually, no I didn't catch the sarcasm in that post. It's kinda hard to tell someone's tone on the net sometimes <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. Comment withdrawn.

What is so unfunctioal about it? Why wouldn't it do well on the track? That yellow S14 was not a wide body kit. just fender flares. I would probobly put 10-12" in the back and 8" w/ big offset in the front. I must have a totaly different coception of what ricey is b/c i would have branded it as smooth and possible excessive, but not ricey! Please explain your opinions more, so i can be informed as to how some of you think <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/notify.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':notify:'>

Yeah, I personally can't see that being called rice. I understand the bloated miata statement, but overall I think it's a pretty nice kit.

jeez we really need a search function... this jacquemond kit gets brought up like once every 2-3 weeks. i think i said something about it before along the lines of expensive, sweet, big wheels.
