N5tuner Widebody!!! (progression pics)

[project jayden]

Look what just popped out fresh out of the oven

The mold is finally finished and the parts have been dropped off at the shop. Just waiting for a couple of more things before they can start hacking away at my rear quarter panel.

PeteA If you opt to get the fenders with the holes for the side marker then yes you will need those rubber gaskets.

can you ask n5tuner to incorporate the rivets style just like the rocket bunny

Jackpot I heard them talking about doing something like that and possibly when they recoup some funds from this project they will make it happen.


Im just waiting for the info on how they cut your fender then i will go with my own order!

Jackpot I have to still wait on a couple more things before they start hacking away. Soonest would be next week and latest would be the following week.

Cant really tell from the picture, but did they incorporated the sculpting from the side skirt? Looks like they did but just want to confirm

project jayden, Where did you get the trunk spoiler from, is it an add-on or a whole trunk, or is it custom molded to the trunk? Can't remember if already talked about on this thread

NickDHdfc It does have the lines that flow with the side skirts but very faint. It even has a extrusion that covers the hole on the side skirt as well, for those that don't need it you can just cut it off.

Fifty3bags The trunk is made by Fiber Nation (Seibon)

The CSL version. I just had it painted that way to make it look like it has an aftermarket spoiler.

Here's a link to the part:

Patiently waiting on your updates man!

Looking good! So what did they end up doing to the two pieces of metal after the wheel well/fender is cut? Also, there is a screw in the fender where the bumper meets the fender to attach the bumper to the rear quarter panel; is that part cut out? If so, how is the bumper re-attached to the qtr panel?

houtan The screw is still in place. When they cut the rear bumper it was just in the front.

how are you closing up the inner fender liner? are you closing that seam?

Progress looks good. I think if they made a front rivet kit they would sell like hotcakes.

ilikebmxbikes The guys have a lot of fender liners laying around from other vehicles and I told them to just use whatever they have to seal up that section so i don't know if they've gotten that far yet or what their plan is. Front rivet kit is not off the table but if they do make it, it would be prototyped using the n5tuner wider fenders as a basis.

Thanks for the reply. Interested to see how they join the rear quarter and wheel well after the cuts are finalized.

If they use their front fender for the front kit, doesn't that mean the front pieces will not fit the stock fenders? If so, that would be a shame because my guess is the majority of cars run the stock fenders.

In my eyes they would need to sell it as a finished fender, and 4 piece widening (bumper and sideskirt) if they do it that way.

Or just do it right and sell a widebody fender and front bumper, coupled with a sideskirt widening.

houtan If they made them they would be add on pieces that would rivet on to the n5tuner fender. No need to kill off a product if it doesn't need to and price point would still be far cheaper than any wide body on the market.

Better double check that, if it was in addition with no discount, you'd be at $1200 before any install work, and would still need custom fender liners (and the 1M windshield tank too right?).

Body cutting, molding, and painting will add up quick.

ShocknAwe What i'm saying is compared to other liberty walk or rocket bunny kits out there for different vehicles it is priced pretty competitively. Even if say you spend around $1800 - $2000 for a rear & front fender kit. That is relatively inexpensive considering you've got a 6 - 8 piece kit.

Oh, for sure.
