Default Couple questions for you widebody Camaro owners
How far do the fenders bulge out?
How wide are the wheels?
Is their anything altered aside from the fenders? (Front and rear quarters)
How awesome does it look in person?
How much did it cost? (For a car or a custom fab)

Did they do a write up? I did a search and something about W2W came up but I couldn't find any user by that name.

W2W is a sponsor. (Wheel to Wheel)
What you're probably referring to is this:

I didn't ask about a kit. I specifically said "custom fab" which implies modifying the body panels with metal and not fiber glass.

FYI the Dick Harrell cars are fiberglass bonded on fenders over the stockers in the rear. The fronts are replacement fenders.

That would weigh the car down, if I'm not mistaken?

If i'm not mistaken there was a company that was talking about making or had started making a wide body kit to like the Dick Harrell. I'll search and see if I can find their link.

Why is there different parts in each package? Is the Sunoco car the racing car?
