Here's a few I snapped yesterday, and last night I found out I have to modify the left front fender a TON to fit.









Even with all the modifying this whole kit needs I'm not going to settle for good enough when it comes to this car. It's gonna have better then factory gaps no matter how long it takes me LOL.

LMK if you guys want pics of anything else... and if you have any input that could be helpful in me finishing this widebody I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys

I just purchased my set of front fenders. The rear looks so fail . Not directed to guy above but meant the actual rear kit is just horribly designed and looks like you might have your hands full purchasing that kit possibly . I'm not saying you won't be able to make it correct but that will be an extreme amount of body work. Good luck with the rears. I will post results of my fender install if I remember as they won't be getting installed for a few months.

Srry it took so long for updates guys but i've been super busy with a few of my buddies cars...


I cut about 3/4 of an inch of the wheel well out so I dont have to worry about whatever tire, rim combo I wanna run..











We used panel bond around the edges and screws to hold the kit. I'll have some pics of whole pass side tonight couldn't shut the door cause of panel bond

Not all kits have to be fiberglassed in or molded. The voltex looks damn clean just riveted, but that still requires putting holes in the original body.

It didn't have the look I wanted just screwed on... It looked goofy around the fuel door and in a few other spots. I also needed to add material to get it to look/ fit properly in certain places. I would guess I added maybe 25lbs to fiberglass mold it in. I can handle that with how much better it looks. and I will be droping alot of weight in other places!! I think I finally decided on a color last night matte white with seibon cf roof, hood, and trunk.

Was thinking of making a little bracket for it to go on driver side of trunk behind the shock tower. Going to be using the stock fuel filler still then either a hose or weld in a piece to make it fit

why couldnt u use bondo like other widebody? (the version select/real voltex used rivets and bondo), no need for all the extra fiberglass work. i think its just a lil overkill on the body work. just like 240sx owners with widebody (i used to be one, lol). we roll/cut the stock fenders, over lay the widebody, mount them with rivets, and then bondo. besides, its gonna be easier to fix. im pretty sure you gonna need to bondo over your fiberglass anyway to smooth it out .

but best of luck to you, and will be awaiting your finished product haha.

ya I will be laying bondo over it to smooth out and I started that tonight... Have the driver rear quarter done I also filled the little body line that ties into the bottom of window so it's very smooth and looks great... Will have some more pics up in next few days, and they guy helping me that went to school for it and has owned his own shop for a while now thaught it would be a good idea to fiberglass it in for some extra strenth.

Got some more done over the weekend... Got most pass side shaped out and have to do driver door still then just need to finish mounting rear bumper and shaping that all in nicely. It's coming together pretty good and there is a TON of room for tire under there lol. I organized the pics in my photo bucket and didn't realize they were gonna get deleted from above. lil teaser pic of some 315's I snaged from my buddys cobra. rims are 17x 10's +27 with nitto nt05's 315 30 17 the tires didn't even reach the widebody yet still had a good inch to go out.






this pic was taken straight on and u cant even see the wheel
