Do I have a body kit?


So I bought this car as is. From pictures ive looked at it looks like it has the stock body lines but is just wider. Is there a body kit that keeps the stock lines and is simply wider? If so is that what I have? If you look at the real wheel the fender clearly sits out farther that the wheel. TIA for any input

The front r carbon fiber. But the rears wheels r recessed at least at inch inside the rear panel. Definately doesnt look stock. From Wut ive seen stock evos dont sit in that far.
What put me on this is I was playing with body kits on NFS and one of the options was a Voltec kit that was bone stock lines and shapes, just wider. Yeah its a game but it got me thinking if this kit exists and if that is wut I might have if it does minus the skirts. Those r blatantly aftermarket.

Yeah, those pics help. Looks like the fenders are certainly worked as in a super flat roll. The rear of the fenders have been trimmed as is needed when running wide tires & low offset wheels

Get the EvO aligned. Looks like there is a lot of rear camber which will make it looked sucked in

Aaaaaaahhhhhh. I bet they took off wutever shoes they had on before and just put the stock back on. Makes sense now. It actually is aligned. 😒 dunno how good that it lol I know that when my old roommate owned it 3 owners ago he crashed it and had to have it put on a frame puller. And my buddy that did the alignment said he couldnt get it to fully align perfectly.

Yeah, but if the rear camber set is -1.8 or beyond -2.0, that will make the wheel look sunken into the well.

Stock rear camber is -1.0

You got yourself a nice project so keep us posted on your progress
