Just a bump. You guys need to look at the larger pictures. You can really tell that the curves are nice and smooth. The chrome lipped rims are perfectly clean as well.
After just looking at the pictures, but before I read this thread, here's what I said "A few critical mistakes he made was not shaping the doors to complement the lines. It's obvious the doors are stock. Second is he didn't continue the door crease into the rear fender. He also didn't extend the crease from the rear bumper. You can see it goes halfway and then stops.
I think it would be more accurate to say he has flared fenders as opposed to a smooth flowing widebody."
I plan to do a widebody also, but more aggressively than this car. A total widening of 4"-6" in the front and 8"-12" in the rear.
I'm not f~ckin around!

OK, after studying the pics and comparing them to my car, here is how he widened the rear fenders.
This is the difference:
The green is what was added:
What I prepose to do is widen the fenders near the center of the car in order to maintain the stock fender curve. Stock and after.
It should look pretty close to this:
Now that's a proper widebody. (IMO)
