Widebody kits
Anyone know where I can get a wide bodykit that looks like the Mazdaspeed GTC Widebody? I know that the Mazdaspeed GTC Widebody isnt sold anymore. As was stated by someone in another thread. Does anyone know of a nice looking Widebody kit? I am really interested in one, makes the car look damn sexy.
Also, what are the pros and cons of a Widebody kit?

There is no "GTC Widebody" per se(FC), You probably mean my car with the Rotary Extreme GTC derived bumper. The fenders are Tripoint, the reverse cowl hood is concieved by me, and available from ATIHUN racing, and the nose is not currently being made.
As Dave said, the major Con is about 6000.00 to 10,000.00 investment in wheels/tires/body work, and paint. The 6000.00 is if you do the work yourself for the most part. Unless you are rollin in cash(dave), stupid(me), or just have nothing else to spend money on, I'd caution you about taking on such a project. For me, the motivation is a way to connect ~500hp to the pavement in a track only car. An excellent approach IMHO would be the CorkSport front fenders(perhaps widened a bit), and careful selection of rear rims/tires. That should get you 315s out back, and 275s in the front. That should be plenty for all but the completely unstable people like myself

Not 100% on the pros and cons, but it might be less expensive to find a friend who does fiberglass work and custom build one together with him/her. But still somewhere in the range of "ouch" and "BOING!" Good luck! I would like so see this; it would be one hell of a show car too!
