wide body kits are never cheap...you want cheap, go make a widebody out of cardboard and resin

other than that, you gotta have $$$$$ for widebody kits

I'm with slicedbreadno2, I would skip the widebody and go with power mods. You don't really need crazy aerodynamics until you have crazy horsepower and torque. But if you must, i would go with the APR Evil-R they seem to have a lot of testing on that kit and it seems like a sound investment.

There's nothing aerodynamic about a wide-body kit. You're increasing the frontal area and probably adding wider tires on a car that is already a brick at 100mph. The benefit is in the ability to get more grip from wider tires without half the tire being totally exposed. Everything else is just aesthetic.

I think I'd spend the money on "go" rather than "show".
