Has anybody rolled their fenders? Id like to see what that looks like compared to a wide body. And about the rear....I think you should get spacers or somethign cause the wheels look liek they are too far in.

I asked my local shop to ballpark a price for a widebody kit along those lines. Quote was $6k-$10k.
No way I'm going that route when it's nearly half the book value of the car. I can't believe there isn't a cheaper aftermarket version of this somewhere out there. A DTM body kit would be amazing!

Trust me it'll end up becoming a real pain in the ***. Less trouble for you in the long run. I was considering doing this on my MR2 with Do-Luck fenders from an R33 Skyline but I was warned by numerous body shops to stay clear due to it's longevity not being quite how I expected.

not stock.
since the mods are being welded / molded etc on top of existing parts the chances of it showing stress marks, cracks and what not years down the line is very high... of course, it all depends on the quality of the labor ... in other words, its not going to last forever looking like the way it did on day 1.
I dont see it as a major hassle since im always touching up my car as it is but to others it may be.

Not feeling the rear fender, think its too wide. is me, the photo, or does the car have a serious rake stance? In one of the photos it seems that way. I think for this car, it should have a good level stance since its a 4 door. Work looks good though regardless.

Yeah i always preferred the fender and tire to look like you have it in the front. I think that looks perfect, always been a fan of the flush look, never really liked the tucked look.
Is the front indeed lower than the rear or is it pretty level? What did you use to lower it? What wheels are you rolling on?
