I've seen that before, there was a thread back in the summer I think.

I wish GMMG would have done a similar trans am version to their DH camaro's.

It olooks way wider to me. If you read it, he gives dimensions. i think he says like 6-7 inches. You cant go too wide without it looking ridiculous on our cars

^ no i looked again and he said 1" front, 1.5 rear. not sure if each front wheel is .5 to make 1 or not. 6-7 inches would be ridiculous. the car wouldnt fit on the road.

[QUOTE=Flaring Afro;11051007]stance, she ranges 6 to 8 inches wider than stock (depending where you measure). Wheels have been pushed out 1 inch in the front and 1.5 inches in the rear. QUOTE]


theres still distance from the wheels to the outside of the fender lip.

that thing looks silly. the body doesn't flow at all. It may just be the car or prep work but i don't like it.

Sorry, I couldn't find the thread, but it was this car that was the subject of that old thread. It was probably in one of the camaro widebody threads and someone brought up this car as a firebird example.

well i have talked to a few places. one one guy told me that they could build 50 sets of wide body kits for our cars. front bumper, rear bumper, front fenders and rear fends, and side skirts for around 1500 a set. but i didnt have the funds to say "ok" lol

In order for it to look right, you would have to add a door overlay. Otherwise it is not going to flow properly.

needs to lose the ground effects and hood, front grille b.s.

also can't tell but it looks like he almost went straight down like behind

the rear tires.

I know it's hard as hell but he should have tried to stay in keeping with

voluptuosness (curvey hour glass feel of a TA body)
