Question Widebody SL.
Does anyone have any additional information on this widebody SL? Where were the mods done? Where is the car located?

Thanks in advance, btw.

Wow that looks good. I can't remember, but those pictures were posted a long time ago. I'll do a search and see if I can find anything, chances are I won't be able to

Hey Ricky,

Yeah, I saw that thread, and followed the links to a dead end.

Still am searching for info. Thanks though.

Sorry bud, that's as far as i got as well.

I think you might be better off going to a reputable shop and getting it all custom made.

Figured as much, as well.

Was just wondering if it was possible to track down the owner and/or builder, and ask a few questions about handling, drag, and any other issues that the widebody conversion may have affected.

Thanks. Checked out their site and found some goodies, but nothing about the conversion. Also checked everything on the links page too.

Not my Style
I understand is not the Sl style and seems to me like Too Bad Too Furious. Just like the rear spoiler.

It's from a japanese tuner called Vitz. They had a website, but I forgot the URL. Crazy stuff. If you're bold, you can be one one of the first in the US with their kit.

Sweet.. the 80's revisted.. Are those "Hammer" wheels on the Sl?!!

Honestly its not that bad looking, but drastic body work like that becomes dated very fast.
