Clinched Widebody Kit
I have been looking into a couple of widebody kits for my 9 and so far I think my favorite is the Clinched Kit (picture below) and I am wondering if anyone else has any opinions on the fitment of the kit, appearance or just any in general feed back. Thanks!

Just for curiosity, what tires specs do you think would make sense then? It seems like evo owners who have those fenders are running negative offset wheels. Do you know of any problems that would come up or be solved then?

I guess it's not meant to be practical.

Why not just have your fenders pulled and shaped?

Kinda tame in this thread but heres my fitment. Maybe one day I can fit the ce28nrt black edition 18x10.5+20. Only have to deal with 25mm poke in the rear and 20mm poke in the front.
Wheels: volk ce28n 18x9.5 +34 (5mm spacer in front)
tires: 275/35/18 bfg rivals
camber: -2.5 front / -2.0 rear 0 toe
bodywork: rear rolled flat and pulled slightly. Bumper bolt relocation
clearance: clears at all steering angles and suspension travels

Im hesitant to have that sort of poke, but its still an option. I havent seen coverage of the clinched kit very much on here so I wanted to bring it up

From what I've read and have been told, reshaping the OEM body panels isn't so easy; it takes a skilled hand. It's a lot easier to mold an aftermarket piece to the OEM panels. Just what I'm told by the people around here that do body work. I'm sure others will have different views on it, though. But Heck, even I can install a Voltex or other stick/bolt-on/rivet body kit.
All that said, I'd rather have the stock pieces adjusted, as I prefer the stock lines. And a 275 is all I'd ever need to run.
As for the APR kit:
1. Holy crap it's expensive
2. I can only find it with an VIII front bumper cover.
