Good Lord! That looks like a lot of bondo there! It does not flow well with the rest of the car...... Could be the pictures but a stock car T/A with wide rear wheels look to me better... Good body working skills though......

He needs some daytime shots. The lighting in the parking garage is making things look off. That and the blurriness from the camera shake is not the best. I need to see it in the daylight.

Any widebody kit without the wheels to fill in the additional wheel well space created by the kit is going to look like ***, no matter how well the kit is done. The REAL point of wide bodies is to fit larger wheels anyways. Our cars can already fit 11" wide wheels with some work. If you aren't going any bigger than that, than there's no point in doing a widebody.

grill inserts have to go. They make the front look 2D. Not crazy about it, but want more pics.
