Custom Sheet Metal Evo 9 Widebody
Hey everyone! I haven't been active on here in a while but here's what I've been working on.
I decided I wanted to go widebody with my Evo 9 but I didn't want to look like every other widebodied evo since it's becoming more common. The goal is to retain the factory body lines as best as possible. For the most part, I'm trying to make it look like it came off the production line this way. See below for my build list and current progress.
Front bumper: OEM Evo 9
Front lip: APR carbon
Front fenders: AIT OEM style
Side Skirts: Genuine Varis Tai version with carbon under skirt
Rear doors: Hand formed sheet metal
Rear quarters: Hand formed sheet metal
Rear bumper: OEM JDM
Wheels: 18x10 +15 Custom 3 piece (more on these later)
I'll post more pictures and details as I get more done. I'm also learning sheet metal forming as I go so go easy on me if some of you do it for a living.
Picture updates:

I'm not typically a fan of wide body Evos, but this is very nicely done. I look forward to seeing your progress. What are you gonna do about the taillights to make them fit in with that rear quarter extension? Or does it still line up?

Nope, just worked for my cousin at his body shop for a couple of summers many years ago. I’m actually an engineer now first shot at forming sheet metal by hand...
