The back is wrong! It should follow the lines of the car's body- not the rear bumper...

Oh, you can mount it with self taping screws. But, from my experience, there is some tweaking and shaving needed to make it fit the best.

I'm glad I found this thread, I've been looking for better pics of the kit since I've seen generic pics on Extreme Dimension's website and their ebay listings. Thank you for posting such great pics! I definately like the front air dam better than any others available, but I'm still torn between this kit and the Kaminari kit (if I can even find one). What body kit were you going to install before this one and do you still have it? Any word on the hood yet? I'd prefer an offset T2 design if they were to go that route, but I've seen MANY other styles for other vehicles that I like better-i.e. an EVO or INVADER style.

On another note, I wish somebody would come out with fiberglass fenders for the 1st gens. I'm not particularly fond of the flares myself, but I'd buy a set of F-1 style fiberglass fenders in a heartbeat (stock width or SLIGHTLY wider). Next time you see the guys at ED, please mention the fenders if they could produce them. Thanks!

That is pretty cool, but it doens't look like a typical "body kit". Looks more like "major modification-mostly custom" to me. Besides, I'd rather send my money to a company in the states and rather not trust Germans to handle it...especially if you can't even understand what they're saying!

I like the front air dam however the side skirts would look a lil better imo without the vent and the bumper would look way better if it was kinda raked or so... I'd like it to no look so blocky from the rear end. But I'd by the front bumper for sure! and the sooner it's finished the better!

If were talkin' about first gen body kits on this forum, I think this is one of the best I've ever seen, I know it wouldn't be practical for street use, but on a race car, MAD!!! The only thing I know about the widebody kit is it was made by a workshop called 22C Works in Japan.

I wonder what the rear end would look like chopped and flushed...

I've never liked how far that bumper stuck out and I was wonder to just remove it and replace it with a steel plate that will sit flush along the body work, to really bring out the Rex's ***... so to speak/... Anyone tried this before?

I would just modify the bumper itself. Recess it in like you can for the SA's, if you take them out completely say good bye to your car if you get rearended, no matter how hard...

O.o

Yeah that's exactly what I am talking about!

Is that a custom job or is there a kit I can buy?

Love that other widebodies spoiler, but I am not a fan of the hood and the fenders look kinda weird after being around my car so much.
