Carbon Fiber Widebody kits-- yay or nay

Hey Guys (and Gals)--

This is my first thread... jumping in here to see how the tires roll--

I am interested in knowing if there are any of you are interested in newly designed wide body kits for the R107--- This is my passion and I wanted to know what you think about it...

Fiberglass.

Generally they scoff at the wide body kits when a 107 shows up on ebay with the testarossa conversion.

Thanks for the heads up. What I'm offering though is much more than a Ferrari themed conversion. I saw a version of what you suggested on an SEC. A picture speaks a thousand words, so I'll have to get my original designs that I have specifically created for the R107 on-line. Thank you again for the heads up.
