In all seriousness, are you going to have any wheel/tire rubbing with that widebody kit? I know with those 335's you have in the back you're going to need plenty of clearance. Did you have RE custom-make your kit, or did you go with their el-cheapo standard kit??

use lots of rivets and screws, then bondo smooth. and by lots i mean LOTS. when you think you've just got way too many rivets holding it in place, put more.

Well, I have a friend that does AWSOME custom work and he is going to work on me some gull wing doors and a carbon fiber widebody kit. I was wondering how the other widebody kits mount up, I guess they just screw into the side of the fender (which sucks) but I was kinda hoping there was some other way.

I agree with fdracer. I would just get a rivet gun and go crazy. As far as the gull wing doors go, why not just by a set from Lambo and have them molded in. That should work. By the way, how is that T-88 working out? I keep telling you the 200-shot and 28psi isn't going to work out, but hey, it's your money. But I guess those titanium apex seals were a good investment after all.

Keep us posted.
