i like the front end better than the mariah wide body one; yours doesn't have that weird bumper gap.

Wider wheels will make it worth it. It looks like a nice job, how secure do you think everything is? Any kind of flop?

what front bumper is that? And what wide body is that it looks AWESOME. One thing though, would it be possible to cut out those little things where foglights go? I love the color though!

Definately wider rear wheels, a passenger side mirror, and rear spoiler, other than that, it's very nice and a great color.

Wow,

Beautiful, however look towards the side of the front bumper, it's sticking out and could rip off at a car wash or the such, be careful with it like that.

Yeah the dish is coming... itsa got 8.5" rears atm, but im going to 9.5 or 10 when i have the $$$.

Dunno what kinda kit it was, i just bought it second hand for $200AUD

The front bumper attaches to the origional mounts, then the edges are bolted to brackets on the flares.

Seems pretty secure, about 20-30 screws on each rear flare, front has 5 screws and the origional bolts

CAR WASH!!!!!!!! never, ill hand wash it, or go to the DIY pressure washer places. Ive seen what a car wash can do to a car and i dont trust them.

Cheers for the comments guys, people over here just dont appreciate these cars enough... it gets called the batmobile all the time

Considering the fact that the Batmobile is a Corvette, I take personal insult to that comment.

Looks good man.

I don't like widebody but I can appreciate the effort you have put into the 7 so far. Just put some 17"s on it.

Great idea for a plate as well. Sure beats my plate.
