    Some good points

    Im not sure of price of getting these installed on a Z as I would be doing my own but I cant expect every one to be able to do that.
    Im not going to hide the fact that yes you would need to be using wheel spacers on this kit and would need at least 10in wheels on the rear to make it look good.

    As im will be using 10in wheels,if your wheels dont stick out side your guard now then it would look silly with the wide rear guards on then.

    I am still going to make my own wide rear guards from home but havnt got them done yet been just to busy but I will get them done.
    And they will still need wide wheels or there is not point making wide rear guards at all.

    im just sick of seeing all those UK and USA wide Z's and no one here in Aus makes them so if people wont to have them Im just trying to help get some made for them going on what is available over seas or I make some up hoping that my style is what people would wont on there cars.

    If I got the over seas style or mine done they would be strong and plenty thick enough for those that are concerned about the strength of the fibre glass.

    And fibre glass is easier to repair than metal, as you fix fibre glass with fibre glass and you fix metal with BOG.
    But im just a fibre glass freak:eek:

    So each to there own I guess Im just trying to help the people that would like to have this done as long as they now what is to be expected of these mods.

    I think its great that this mod can be done to our cars imagin if well all just had a commodore,
    Not bagging or nothing but what can be done to them.....as far as wide body kit that is.
    And there are heaps of cars that this mod is not available to do to.

    And lots of people already have fibre glass on there car now as in front and back bars and even side skirts.Or even nose panels:D

    Just my 2 cents worth.

    Gonzo can you make me this?

    Strosek wide fenders are the best! Specially if you put these speed holes on them.

    rear is OK, bit over the top for a Z but that front bar.. *shivers*.. I would rather have NO bar than put something like that on my Z.

    actually, i think i have to second that

    those speed holes look good on those wide rears

    At first I REALLY liked these kits, now I'm not so sure, I think the Z32 can look good with wider rears [ and one rear side brake "intake", and some changes to details [ eg "flared-in side mirrors"], but I think this exemple is just tooo much [ eg Triangular vents in bonnet - "HOLE" in front of front wheels etc]

    i'm not sure what i should be interested in

    this thread is too farking long, and if Gonzo is going ahead with that import of the wide fender kit and/or front bar, then it'd be great if he could start a new thread and post up a summary of the important points!

    i don't want to be demanding, but seriously, 110+ posts!!

    So for you guys that are in, i know the kit cost around 800 but what are you looking at for sticking them on and all.....also im guessing some big fat wheels will be around 5 gran....anyone got their eyes on a particular wheel?

    Price for install

    Im not sure what it would cost to install these kits
    it may be a 1k or 2k I have know idea as I would be doing my own.

    But at this price at least your not paying 2K for the kit witch is what it would cost you to get it her your self.

    And if you think about the price of some of the things we have already spent 1k or 2k on for ours cars it jsu some thing that will change the look altogether and will stand out more.

    The wheels I am using will be plenty but I would be using spacers you may not like to use spacers on your car so wider ones will be alot dearer to buy.

    Yeah I know.........

    he's keeping the originals of the stuff he wants!!........but I just wasn't sure if he wanted the same rear spoiler as the one I'm after???
    I just mentioned this one to him & he said they may be able to get it shipped with the stuff he wants???? & this will give them another option to make for other members????

    Custom Widebody

    Hi guys just got my car out of the body shop! hope u guys like it!! this is metal quater pannel not fiber glass!! it is welded on to the body n stuff,
    Just suggesting to go with welding cuz da fiber glass add on will crack after a few months if not done properly. And ya need to get the wheel house wider to allow for larger wheel base to be fitted to suit the widebody! this is from experience with my cuz s15 widebody. ereything is nice for the first 3 months then it starts to crack at the joints and all the stressed out pannels. Well hope u like my Zed. and if ya need more info on where to get this done pm me. Oh yeah btw this cost me $3500 for the quater pannel and new paint job! with my widebody ya get to keep all the original bars and side-skirt cuz its been stretch on to fit .:zlove: :zlove: :D
