You may want to try searching first man, not trying to be a dick or anything, it's just that there's plenty of threads buried here that are full of the pictures you're looking for.

What is not to love about a widebody, it's one of my favorite cars.

I guess I never thought about, but sam is right. Not as many aussie widebodies, it seems.

Because they elicit a strong performance attitude. They look fast, or at least having the potential to perform.

If they have angular lines on the front fenders, they need to follow that with angular lines on the rear. The round rear flares don't match the angular front fenders.

Also really like the FC GTO bodies of the early 90's. Mandville's widebody etc.

Thats the first widebody 1st gen ive seen that i like. Give it a nice paint job and it would definitely be MY favorite.

Widebody first gens remind me of the whole 80s steroid scene in sports, not to say that I don't love them. But to me it looks like you took a first gen and stuck it in a Gym somewhere for about 2 years just pumping iron and widebody muscles were the result. That said I have 2 of them right now with more coming

This is the style of front fender I would prefer for my widebody. I fear however that they would be too narrow for the 15X9" front wheels I have. Do you know what width and backspacing they are? With a little work, that could be one gorgeous 1st gen. I even like the hood scoop as it adds more dimension to the overall look.

the front tires are 225/50/15 the rear tires are 265/50/15.... they are BIG... im gonna pull the tires off the rims soon and measure the rim width but im thinking the fronts are 8.5 inches wide and the backs are 9.5 to 10... they are southern ways epsilon wheels
