I was thinking the same thing the second I got my 1 almost 6 months ago. I will be very interested if somebody comes out with a kit. I may just have a friend make an all metal one if I have too.

Not a kit, but Evolution Racewerks did one to the front wheels of their racer for race purposes. Seems like all they were missing was an adapted sideskirt, but that would be for sheer cosmetics for them.

Yeah, we're going to do the side skirts as well. At the the time, we were in a rush for time and it was not a necessity. We just made a mud flap like we do for our rally car customers and called it a day. Mud flap was awesome. We went off the track into the dirt once and the car stayed clean.

Since it's the off season and the season won't start up again until March, we're going to pull off the wide body to make molds. We should have release of our front end wide body this spring.

Yes, eventually we will do the rears as well. I just don't know when exactly. Priority on certain parts are based highly on our race program. There was a need for the front end wide body so it was done. The car is currently behaving how we want it to and the purpose of the front end wide body was accomplished. By doing the rear wide body, we will increase the rear track which would increase understeer. Not something we want to do right now. I do believe that once we make more power with the car which we will, the rear end will start becoming a problem and then we will do the rear end wide body. I'd say we have about 40-50wtq to go before it becomes a problem.

If anyone is still interested in the widebody kit, I was finally able to convince Evolution to produce one for us! But we need numbers. Click on the thread below
