Anyone making a body kit that.....

I can keep my rebars? Insurance won't pay for kits that could possibly let me get killed... can't blame them... don't want someone to back into me at 3 mph and have the airbags deploy and kill me.

wings west is out of bussiness unless they have been bought by another company. I do know they have a web site up but they are out of bussiness.

I did not know this thats too bad, the original wings west was a great company but they sold the firm and I guess the new owners didnt run it too well.

You can call extreme dimensions, you'd probably have better luck with them. They make kits for some unusual cars. Also FX designs (they're located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) and I know we could get a test car there. They make some kits for odd cars as well.

He wants to keep both the front and rear rebars. I believe at this point in time, all accolade kits require removal of the rear rebar. Something was mentioned about a US spec rear bumper in the making (from Accolade) that will allow this rebar to stay.
