Best widebody kit for blobeye
 
Just thought id post this,

Looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the horrid chargespeed widebody kit, still well "2fast 2furious" for me but on the whole i think its been well done.

Couldnt drive it down your local highsteet but cool if you live in the states :)

I agree!!! It looks so much much better than Chrgespeed.:thumb:

Like it :D , much better than chargespeed's ,

Not normally my scene but I really like that. Would love to see it sans rear spoiler and stickers if there are any bored PSers out there.

frayz 23 February 2006 10:01 AM

i think id definitltly change the spoiler but even the stickers set it off,

Im normally throwing up at the sight of silly bodykits and lots of stickers but to me this looks so good because it just emphasize's the whole shape of the car, i think its stunning :D

Does look a lot better than the Chargespeed effort :thumb:

I have just fitted the Carbon Canards on my STi and have that splitter to go on as soon as I have time to take the bumper off :Whatever_ , pics to follow :norty:

I actually think the spoiler and stickers look striking and suit the car - but I'd feel a bit of tit driving round in it and I have nothing to advertise. One colour and no spoiler at all would look smart IMHO.

What's the score with the wheels? Presumably you'd need spacers or wider wheels and I'm guessing this would kill the dynamics.

I think that its all been done very well and looks smart!

frayz 23 February 2006 10:22 AM

J,

Id imagine the wheels are just running more offset. Dunno what the handling would be like? depends on how the cars setup underneath i suppose.

SC008Y_MAD 23 February 2006 11:51 AM

Frayz, i wonder where you got those pics form :wonder: :lol1:

It does look rather awesome sitting there all noce and clean and poised. Looks like a Remote controlled car...

i love everything except the front bumper which could have been better, but can you imagine a) the cost of the kit b) getting hold of one and c) the hours of labour required to get it to look anywhere near as good as that :(

i love the colouur though

automodellistagt 23 February 2006 12:04 PM

its got no exhaust in some of those pics

The APR kit is nice but I don't agree that it's necessarily better than the chargespeed, surely if your going for a wide arch kit then you want something that sticks out a mile ;)

Which the chargespeed certainly does :lol1:

Enjoy!

It dues, but it ruins all the lovely shapes that subaru designed the car we love so much.

The APR kit keeps to those lines and emphasizes the bulges perfectly.

The chargspeed kit is far too blocky IMO, and damm ugly at that!!

Personally I would'nt put either kit on my car, if you want the original Subaru line's then keep the car the way it was from the factory.

If your going to put a kit on you might aswell go the whole hog and make something that really stands out.

It's like the flamer kit debate I spose, but then that one will never get resolved :lol1:

personally I'd only put a wide ass in your face kit on my car if the car was actually fast in the first place.

I HATE seeing standard engined cars have huge bodykits put on them to make them look fast, and then when you see them on the road they perform like Novas. The car in the J tuner mag looks fast and obviousely is very very very very fast - a perfect combination. People will look at that car and say 'that looks mental' and then if they ever went out in it they'd be thinking 'this is mental.' However if it didn't have all the toys in it they'd get out thinking 'looks nice but is actually sh!t.'

I agree with you on that, if your going to do it you need to do the whole thing and sort the performance aswell.
