Biggest mistake a friend made widebodying his miata. He used a saws-all to cut the fenders and it bent them all to hell from the vibrations. He also didnt paint the parts he cut so within a month every fender had rusted through. One panel had a hole above the widebody panel and you could see his coilovers.

@zerohourdrift 4 жыл бұрын
Alex Strömberg you don’t want to mold your widebody unless it’s metal or polyurethane. Fiberglass or carbon kits are a nightmare when you mold them. It’s fairly brittle by nature and will eventually crack. When it does, instead of just pulling off the panel and fixing or replacing it, you have to crack it off, sand down the area it was molded, replace the whole panel, remold the entire panel, then repaint the entire thing rather than just a single panel. As someone who’s dealt with it, I’m never molding a kit ever again

in my case, i did not encounter any problems with lancer wide body kits on stock engine. i went for plastic kits so it's lighter than FG and almost the same weight as stock, probably even slightly lighter. FRP fenders are lighter than stock fenders though.

I rear wide bodied my C63. It needed it, the rear fenders were puny. It took me about 3mths taking all the care in the world to make the cuts, rust proof, set up suspension, figure out wheel travel and get a set of custom offset wheels that sat flush to the new fender line but travelled up and down without clipping anything. I measured like 20 times and cut once, and now it looks (to me) perfect, totally OE but 50mm wider each side. The conversion is moulded but the kit hugely strengthened and I have had zero issues with it. If I need to maintain it over the years then so be it as I didn’t do this to fit in, I did it for me on a car that I doubt I’ll ever sell. Performance wise I only have good things to say, as it grips, finally. I’d say to anyone who is keeping their car indefinitely because they love it, do it!

My first time ever going wide was with a beaten up frs that I daily drove. The amount of care was so little, didn’t test fit, didn’t tape anything or figure out what else was needed. Took an angle grinder to the fenders and went crazy. Wrapped the fenders in under an hour and took a drill, some sheet metal screws and sent it. It’s a good thing I had no love for the car because I could fit a finger between the v1 front fender and my stock fender in some places. Looking back I’d do it again, the car was only there to do horrible stuff to anyways lol

Bro, it's not that hard, just buy the fenders for around $1,000, and pop them back on with Nuts and Bolts from the factory. I don't like the thought of cutting into my car, but since I'm already throwing away my fenders, and installing aftermarket ones on, I might just go ahead and cut them. My fenders only cost $215 for a pair on the front, and $800 in the rear.

I'd like to make custom ones for the 93 S10 I mention in most F.I. and Custom offset video comments. Lol but there isnt much anymore that is kind of modern in the realm of my truck but i have ideas. Been looking at the E30 M3 fenders for inspirations but uh... I cant weld or fab so... Yea... Lol and finding wheels and tires in the custom sizes i want are so hard to find 😭 I wanted 5x120.65mm/18x8.5 wheels with 30mm offset, 245/30/18 tires, buuut apparently that size isnt a realistic one and my front sway bar makes wider wheels impossible up front. Especially with the 4/5in drop kit. The wide body would allow wider wheels on a wider offset but as of now I'll destroy my inner fender and tires turning.
