Does it LOOK legit??? The guy posted pictures of GM's Sunoco tribute car. TONS of time and money went into that design. You think some hack with a half *** web site is going to have any kind of quality or even have the parts? GET REAL! GMMG had a hell of a time getting the rear fender overlays to fit and look right and they were copied off the GM design. How is some hack gonna make anything that is even close to fitting?

That's why I was asking. I wasn't going to order something off freewebs that has a manditory $1250 payment first and no picture of a customers car.

VFN needs to come up with a some fiberglass pieces that fit over the stock quarter panels (they would still need to be molded on to make them fit and look correctly) and some new fenders for upfront


they would make a killing off of these, i would be down for a set of fronts and rears.. i guess the time and money to make the molds would make these very expensive

In last months GM High Tech Performance magazine they pretty much screamed out to contact someone in the GM Performance division because they made those for the berger cars. When i mean screamed out they wrote " Now that's a huge ...uh, contact patch." Or unless i totaly read it out of context.

I am very interested if it was of any quality. The seem to have good feedback on e-bay so far. Might be the best deal on a wide body for us wannabe Dick Harrell edition owners.

Most stuff they sell is car parts and they have good feedback. Wow, that's pretty cool, too bad 200 dollars is fishy as hell.

I know kinda make you worry because there are times you can get great deals but alot of time you get what you pay for.

that's the same site that sells that weird camaro hood, but then again he only has positive feedback, so it'd be interesting to see the fit of those panels,

the site is fake, anyone who's tryin to sell body parts and cant even have decent pics of their products is full of crap. Plus the site has been up for almost a year now. If u want Dick Harrell fenders then your gonna have to dig deep into ur pockets cause it wont be cheap.

not like it matters you would have to put some bondo down to smooth over the seams on the rear quarters anyways. it will look great assuming the person who installs it knows anything about working with bondo and fiberglass, i have seen eclipe widebody kits put on escorts anything can look good with enough bondo. me personally tho i would never intentionally let someone cover the side of my car in bondo and fiberglass unless my car already had horrible quarterpanels and a salvage title
