Its a Top Secret Wide Body Kit.

Because its quality widebody you replace front and rear bumbers, front quarter panels, and side skirts. The new rear quarter panels are molded onto the existing body after some trimming is done. Hence how the fenders look.

Volk GTC's....Unfortunantly there are very few wheels out there that you can have made with the offset needed for the widebodys, without jumping off the scale in price and for the tire itself (ie 12 or 13" wide rims) the GTC's are one of the higher quality ones available, otherwise you are stuck using a spacer...which I did for a while but you run into enough problems that you want to get ride of the spacer, pm me if you want more info

I remember those spacers... They did the job for a while but the new wheels do a way better job ...

Yea dude wheels and tires are really expensive for widebodies. The TS is 100mm wider so you can still do that. I had to have HRE custom make me some wheels and luckily for me they decided to hop on board as did Pirelli with since I'll be running their 355 series tires in the rear. I also picked up a bodyshop/performance shop with Iron Works and Altered Atmosphere who will be teaming up to install a reverse mounted turbo application so a turbo will be sitting out of the passenger side vent. It looks really good though and was my second choice for kits. IMO the TS blends better but is not as wild and since I'm still 19 I wanted to go more wild with the car.
