To Wide or Not to Wide???

I've been struggling to decide whether I should put a widebody kit on my IX... Do the benefits outweight the costs? Should I just use the bodykit money for engine mods instead???

What are you trying to accomplish with your car? Ask yourself that question before asking us for advice.

Yea it really does depend on what you are trying to do..

..but If you want it to look better just throw some Volks/Advans/Work's on there and drop it...Then spend the rest on power mods!

It all depends a widebody is sick. But then again u got to think about wen u do do the widebody u would want to get some rims and nice tires with a good offset bc if not it will look real funny.also would want to get some suspension too if u don't have either of that. My buddy got the apr wide body and it looks tough! But I rather do mods then the widebody.

In addition to Muellerizing my suspension, I want to run 18"x10" or 18"x10.5" wheels.

I want to mix & match, Varis front fenders with Do Luck rear fenders. However, sideskirts are an issue!
