N5tuner Widebody!!! (progression pics)

[gap]

Looking good, can't wait to see the finished car, post some pictures soon.

[pysik]

I'm curious to know how the rear fender kit would mesh with the 1M side skirt. Any ideas?

ShocknAwe Just finished the first picture of the shoot. Let's just say i'm beyond happy on how it came out.

Damn Impressed. Looking forward to the rest, and more technical pics of the bodywork, paint etc.

The rear looks wide even from the side now.

Wow! Absolutely love the rear. Really like how the side skirt came out! Could you PM a ballpark cost to do this?

[project jayden]

Here's the full shoot guys

[ShocknAwe]

Good to see the rest of the pics. Came out really well, but I'm thinking not my style. Something about the rear bumper widening looks off to me.

Love it all except the side skirt portion. Does the kit come with the bottom part that attaches to the side skirt as a separate piece?

the rear is a 2 piece. the kit is cheap enough where you could have a body shop modify it to a 3 piece if you wanted to. tglazed

Hey could we see a photo from the car head on to get an Idea how wide the rear is to the front?

What lip?

Looks great by the way

[Maxsensation]

what lip and eye lids?

Much respect for this custom job. Although I liked it much better when it was a rivet style bolt on flare. The way it is molded in, especially with the way it covers the rocker panel molding just looks very off to the eye/me. To me the flares look more like they were just stuck on and don't really flow with the car as much as when you had just them attached with the rivets. And it is not just your car, I have seen a few others that did it your way and I did not like them either. I know that sounds odd but it is more of a visual thing for me. I am not trying to bash the work, as that looks to be top notch, I am just a bolt on flare kind of guy. Good luck with it though

[flinchy]

is there any plan to release front bolt on fenders?

you can't just have the rear ones without smoothing them over

I'd love these, just bolted on (not bogged), with the fronts to match

not to mention getting it all smoothed over... well it's imperfect even when that's done, as well as expensive

Looks really good! way to many stickers though. would look a lot better without the stickers. I have a question. you widened the front but still out wheels on that needed the tires to be stretched that the lip sticks out from the rubber? figured you would have just got a wide proper fitting wheel and tire combo or is that in the future? the rear doesnt seem to look like the wheel lip protrudes from the rubber. although the tire seems really tall. any plans on suspension to correct the camber in the rear? it seems just a little bit to much with that tall of a tire. Still looks great but i'd get rid of the stickers and get the wheel lips inside the rubber. but if thats how you like it, its your car. bravo, lots of work and patience gave it a good look.

Dang I had hope for this thread.

The lines on the back bumper leading into the fender flares are a mess and the way the sideskirt was handled is even worse.

For people that want to just bolt these on (like most of us), these need to be made into 3 piece flares. Also, a matching set needs to be made for the front. 15mm up front and 2+ inches in the rear makes no sense, except maybe for a bagged show car....

The front lip was custom made by Aerowerks Performance out of NJ

The eyelids came from Poland but i forgot who the manufacturer was.

No problem at all and thanks for the feedback twin fed

The rears are made to rivet on. They have the spaces built in but we wanted this to look more OEMish just like the fronts. I just feel that the whole rivet style is eventually going to fade...don't know if you know this or not but last SEMA pretty much every car out there was flared out and riveted. I went safe since most people who don't really know much about the car won't even be able to see a noticeable difference.

flinchy I think N5tuner wants to recoup expenses first before venturing into other projects but doing a rivet style front kit is not off the table for those who like that style

Thanks for your comments MuNkY6913 The car is going to SEMA which is why we need to represent our sponsors. The tires have a very very minimal stretch...in the pictures it might look exaggerated since i did highlight the wheels and darkened the tires. The car is also on air suspension.

GR1P The kit is relatively inexpensive for what you get. Creating a 6 piece mold just for the rears would have made the kit a lot more expensive and out of the price range of being an affordable wide body...cutting their kit shouldn't be an issue for most body shops though and it's going to be interesting to see what people will do in the future with this

Here's a video i did recently. Hope you guys enjoy it

[Joaco135]

Nice video, can you post same pics of the car but a ride height? Some of us like to see it that way.

Thanks,
