widebody kit's are ugly and rarely do they serve a purpose. plus, the car is permanently ruined after its been bondo/fiberglass'd together.

most importantly, its a WASTE of money.

Look at the body lines on the back, on the orange car you can see the whole widebody, but on the vert you cant its flush with the body.

imo i like unmolded better.

the problem with molding the fiberglass onto the metal is that if there is much stress at all on the parts they will flex and the bondo or area which it is attached could crack and look like total ass.

Such is the main problem with putting these kits on cars and moulding them to fit.

the purpose to do this is
1 TO COVER THE BIG ASS FUCKING DENT!
2 so you can run wider rim and better offset for drifting
