Question POLL: C-West CF lip kit or TS widebody?

I know this sounds weird to some...these are totally different kits, but currently I have the C-West CF lip kit on my SB Z. I've been thinking about this for the longest time as some of you already know, but I need suggestions. Should I change everything to Top Secret Widebody? I know how much it will cost, and I know I'll have to change the wheels.

A few things to consider:
1. I love the C-West look because it accentuates the original body lines.
2. I love the Top Secret WB because it's very clean too.
3. If I change to Top Secret, I have to spend quite a few dollars.
4. I love CF (wondering if Top Secret would custom make me a full CF Widebody......)
5. Widebody would allow wider tires for my TT Z's traction.

What do you guys think? Comments and suggestions?

Keep in mind too.. that if you go with this widebody kit.. I would recomend painting you whole car a different color than black. why? because black will not show the lines in the TS kit that well... think of those sexy oversized front fenders... and the open space near the door... in black... it will look narrow.. not as wide

IMHO

Sell me the Cwest kit I like the subtle look, but the TS would look sick. Do what your heart desires

i say use the money for a built motor or more CF...your car looks great as is...i love CF too, and i think the C-West lip kit looks great...the top secret kit would look great, but it's more for show, and i don't think it's all that practical...unless you're going to have a trailer queen, i say stick with the C-West...maybe gets some CF fenders or trunk hatch?...i say go for the track look...CF everywhere!

Yea the motor will be built spring 2006 no matter what. And I do love the C-West...it's just so hard to part from it. But traction...and widebody...ahhhhhh!!! u know what I mean.

Not really feeling the CF fenders cuz my front bumper is still stock. But if I keep my C-West kit, my next step would be CF hatch and CF doors...

the top secret in really unique though i guess...if you want unique and to be the envy of every human being, go with the top secret...it would be quite pimp...13" wide rims would get the power to the ground

I'm hoping "TopSecret2001" can chime in and say they will make me a full CF widebody. That would totally set it off...

If they do.. then.. I'd have to do it. Money would be no object for me on that one. I love the kit that I have now.. but.. TS widebody CF.

If money would be no object to you...


I will choose the TS widebody since if gives u some advantage...

1.) Better Tracton for ur $$$$ APS TT...

2.) I think TS is a better choice than C-West if u're tryin to make a show car... (i'm assuming you're trying to make a show Z since ur mods are crazy... ^^)

3.) TS is the cleanest widebody kit out there... (still accentuates the original body lines compare to other widebody... ) which what u looking for??

good points .sin.

right now I'm really debating between the two, and can't seem to decide. But of course, money is always an object. The ONLY way money would be no object would be a full CF Top Secret widebody kit...I'm still hoping TopSecret2001 would chime in on this to see if it's even possible.

I always thought money is not an object to you...

since the tax and duty that you paid to Canada Custom already can brought you another APS TT...
