anyone run a wide body evo 8/9 on the street? thinkn about a wide body kit on my dd but im Leary bc ive never seen it done localy. any thoughts or experience ? and also wide body pics are deff welcome as im undecided on a brand.

 

I think most who make those kinds of body modifications don't subject their car to everyday wear and tear

 

i figured that but can it be done with out ill effects?

 

i dont see how widebody is going to receive more wear and tear than the normal body. its all bout how you drive, your local roads, and remember that you get what you pay for.

 

yes im thinking either voltex or the evil r kit. roads arent the best but they are ok. i drive very very carefully. my exhaust hangs very low as i have an electric cut out with a turn down so i take the bumps slow and i watch my clearances.

 

How much do those run?

 

3500ish plus body work paint yada yada

 

lol yea wide body kits add up seriously. i would suggust a regular body kit cf parts and spoiler for DD. but here is your break down and pics enjoy

apr wide body 3900
average paint labor 4000

voltrex complete kit 7000 with street bumper
if you get the front bumper with all the candards and low lip it 5000-7000 just for the front bumper + the side skirts rear bumper quater flare easyly over 12k

then you have to get wider rims to run these kits your looking at 3200 for rims that wide. Now you do the math seriously your going to be out 10k+ from just body mods now wear and tear and all that bs as stated above depends how you drive and what you do with the car and how the paint was done. sprayed on then dried or was it BAKED!! like it should be but you still get your rock chips etc. i know some people with wide body evos on this site that drive on the street no different from driving normal evo. you will just be extremely pissed off if you get into a accident as your out 10k+the price of the car and that does not even include engine mods .

voltrex wide body(street version DD)





APR evil r wide body





full voltrex kit(with all candards and splitter) dont think you can dd this lol 5000-7000 front bumper




Hope this helps ask more questions if you have any

 

thanks for the pics...how the hks CT200MR kit? how bad is the install on these bad mama jammas ? aside from the rear over fenders is everything else cut and dry install lik a factory part or holes need to be drilled ect. ?

 

the majority of body kit whether wide or not you will have to make your own holes and some custom cutting of parts will be needed for fitment issues or rubbing etc. even my body kit i had to do some modding and creating new peaces to get it to fit lol dont even get me started on my viz cf trunk LOL. and i also have my 350z im customizing as well bodykited out and top half and interior completely carbon fiber now anymore questions just ask im here to help

 

hmm ok can wide body be mixed and matched? im thinkin about voltex sideskirts evil r fenders front and bak jdm rear and possibly voltex front im undecided on the front

 

yes it can be but ill not look right and on top of that you will run into issues with fitment of parts lining up so unless you ok with modding fiberglass and cutting and refiberglassing i would not recommend it. the jdm rear goes with anything so that is ok

 

ok i am currently trying to peoce together a kit i found a 6 peice do luck rear fender how does that work? the carbon strip iis used so it doesnt need to be molded to the body? im not to comfertable modify fiberglass. my body shop will be doing the work and my pockets are not very deep lol

 

Anyone know if the Voltex rear diffuser works with the evil r

 

Probably not as that diffuser was designed to work only with the JDM Evo 9 rear bumper.
