Wide body kits are sweet i think!!!! very aggressive stance!!! ams and buschur's time attack evo's are using them.

 

Yeah i dont want to go to some shmowburger to do the install. Thacher at speedware gave me a number of a guy that does good work. But i want to see if anyone has had problems with it or anything like that before i start getting ready.

 

This is the Voltex kit Chris was talking about.

 

Here is the Speed Element Evo with the Voltex Kit. Sorry Ralph, your pic is so small and undetailed, lol.
Ant, if you have the chedder for this go for it!!!!
I would pick this over the APR one personally.

 

no worries, your pics are bigger than my pics . I'd take this one over the APR too. Also I think Do-Luck makes a WB now, but I have no pics of that.

 

i will get that one

 

FYI-You will also have to be running the JDM Evo IX bumper for this kit. So you will have to add that onto the extraordinary price tag of this kit.

 

That sucks.....well theres things i like about the voltex and things i dont. Im not a fan of the cf rear lip under the bumper. And i like the APR front lip/canards better. Plus APR comes with the bumpers. I dont have the dough YET but im thinking about working OT, do the 6 10's for a bit. Plus if i do this around tax return ill have that plus an extra grand from my work bonus all for wheels, Im sure those are not cheap

 

these kits look Horendous

 

A fibergalss/CF panel done well should be lighter than the stock metal one. A good set of forged wheels may be wider but, can weigh less than stockers. Add to it some CF doors and maybe a roof and there you have it.........that would be a track approach. It sounds like to what is being discussed here is for pure aesthetic reasons.....which is cool too, if that is the intent.

The voltex is a little out there compared to the apr kit. But it's all about what you like.

Don't take this as hating, but I'm not sure how much money this project will cost you. Unless you plan on just showing this thing and letting it sit, I would really think this through. Mating faberglass or carbon fiber to a metal body will not last forever. There is no real way to secure the two together and after time the body filler and whatnot will crack out and look like sh*t. I have a friend who's dad has owned body shops since the 70's and you can come talk to him, he will tell you the same.
Plus the money aspect. The kit is gonna set you back at least $3500, labor to install and paint is probably gonna be another 3 or 4 grand, and I dont remember seeing a cheap 9.5" or 10" wheel that will fill those wheel wells. Lets just say another 2 grand there. So at the low side you are looking at spending 9 grand.

You and I talked at HIN a bunch about the wide body and you seemed really amped about doing it. Please don't take this as hating, just looking at it realistically. You already have good paint and a few go quick mods. A fraction of that widebody, and you could have one fast as hell evo. Just my 2 pennies....

No its cool lol. The only hater is that uglyevo, I can deal if its someone i know saying there 2 cents but people that are not even part of the group that just run there mouth at people cause they have nothing better to do bugs me. I just want my car to be different. If this will cost a whole **** load, i prob wont do it. Cause yeah its my dayly driver which sucks *****, I Want to get that kit off edison kinda. But its been like 3 months and im kinda getting sick of the runaround. If he woulda said "hey i want to wait till after HIN cause i want to show it" then that would be cool. But to say ill take it off this weekend for the last 3 months kinda blows and im losing intrest in it.

 

Acutally AMS are remove APR widebody and Put VOLTEX W/B on AMS
