Widebody update w/ tails....
Thursday, September 14, 2006 6:10 AM
Havent had much time to work on the car,had some family issues n scho0ls back in but i made some fiberglass molds of my tails,the stock ones just didnt lo0k right sunken way in.....so i raised them out to flow w/ the widebody,when there all sanded down these will be molded right in to the car,pretty sure im the 1st to do this,i think itll lo0k awesome when finnished....enjoy

Shot of the tails,widebody also serves as a shelf to display things for the time being

Angles shot,just the beginning stages,still alotta sanding n filling to do but u get the idea

Shot of em on the car




And just some widebody shots,order the poppers theyll be in next week and ill start workin on the fiberglass panel for the do0r n knock down that lil hump on the widebody other than that...shes comin along

Sorry, even though it is not done, I don't think the outcome is going to look very good

not sure about the tails...i've seen it done before, and it does look good, but they might seem too small with the widebody?...

Man...I hate how you're working on the car already

It looks even wider on a sunfire b/c the quarter panels stick out far as it is too. The widebody makes it look even fater

I got the gauges for 358 U.S. Comes with the Speedometer with tach, oil temp, water temp, fuel level, and voltmeter.

so why would spacers be pointless on a j-body when its strictly for show boosted civic?
And sec-z visually meckster car was unique and amazing,he just cut some corners and his was driven alot where mine wont be.....im not cutting any corners with this so i dont plan on runnign into problems like mecks did....as far as it being "too wide" i wanted it that way for the panls to flow,my theory is go big or go home....

well i guess if its for just shows,
anyways its still way to wide imo, but hopfully the really wide wheels and spacers clean it up.

Mine is widened 3.5" on each side, just a different style and it looks awesome. I think this will look awesome also. If not you can cut it off and start again like I did the first time lol. I think it took longer to cut it off b/c of all the welds than it did to create but w/e. I've been wondering though, exactly how much wider than stock (original arch to widened arch) is it?


STREET ANTIX, it's coming...

i believe mine is 3in the front and 3.5'' mb 3 3/4 but wont know til its done,im gonna knock it down as much as i can,spacers r a must plus im putting these rims on it,Niche gt's prolly doin 19's if i can get my hands on sum,if not 18's will do the trick,but with that nice lip and sum spacers i think itll flow perfectly

the rims in that picture are 22s so 19s will have no where near that size of such a hawt lip.
