Gauging Interest in Wide Body Kit

[Thing30]

I stated this right from the jump.



Are you really surprised? There have been lots of nice aftermarket body panels made overseas in Europe, etc for years but what always kills it for us in the USA is the shipping. The dollar isn't strong enough to make it worth it.

Yup, mad expensive. I'll keep looking, we have lots of overseas freight companies here in Miami. Worst case, I'll order one for myself

Honestly, for 1k I don't think you'd have much (if any) interest. Just being honest.

Reason being, the m3/evo wide body fenders can be had for about the same price and the fronts are complete bolt on fenders.

Yea, if I can't get a better price on shipping, it's simply not worth it. I'll let you all know what happens.

It turned out to be more expensive then I thought. I've received a couple of quotes that are in the ballpark of 1k for just shipping, which doesn't work for me. I am waiting on a couple more quotes but, the idea is to have these kit priced at around 1k shipped. To cut cost, These kits may be shipped via greyhound, but we'll see. Anyone have experience shipping body kits?

Interested depending on price.

Interested.......in a price.

To me, this looks odd...like pulled stock panels.

That's what I thought right away. Sorry, but I really don't like it. If it was really necessary to fit 245s or whatever on an e30 (which I think is overkill) then I would just get some regular arch flares.

Man, the way the slots for the body molding angle upward looks bad.

I'm sooooo down? I have a track sedan and I wonder how it would look overlapping the rear doors hahaha any word on the price

[Thing30]

The kit itself is not expensive, it is shipping. If I can work out a price with the freight company, We can have an alternative wide body kit at a very competitive price.

I like it but I'm broke so that dosen't help you much

I've seen this before but I figure if you are going to do it...why not go with M3 style fenders? I don't see how going with the M3 style would be any more work than what you pictured. In fact, M3 front fenders would be a lot cleaner since they bolt on while you still have lay and attach these on top of your stock fenders. To me, this looks odd...like pulled stock panels.

With any option, it's going to require work (cutting etc). This one doesn't defer. It's simply another option that looks unique I think.
I always liked the simplicity of the non m3 lines and this kit offers that with a bit flare. Also, I come from a nissan back ground and this stylereminds me of a rocket bunny :p
