Default Wide body kits... but oh which one!?!

I love wide body kits, I think they look awesome. But I wonder which is better for running wide wheels on... the mastergrade or the veilside or even the buddy club? Is it better to go with fender flares or whole replacement fenders? And how do you tuck such wide tires under regular just flares, do you have to cut and hack up the stock fenders??? Thanks guys!

Mastergrade is no longer available, you can scratch that off your list.

I do like the BRS wide body 2... that's so porsche 911 ish... freaking amazingly beautiful. But i really wanna know, if you put on the fender flares, how do you put such wide wheels on and have them tucked nicely, do you have to cut up your existing fenders or whats the secret to that?

yeah, i do like the long nose top secret, but I like the subtle yet powerful look of the BRS Autodesign kit. I like the top secret in that it looks like a straight out race car. I like the BRS cause it makes the car just look like it is worth a million bucks.

Top Secret parts are basiclly from race cars, they R & D the hell out of them. I have seen BRS being run at a few races but I dont think they could come close to Top Secrets experience in Areo products.

IF you get the veilside. Have it molded, don't bolt it on like some people do. Looks horrible unless it's molded

I just looked, and yes the short nose wide body actually gives you a 4 inch increase in width and the long nose is only 2... so I can see how it would provide as much downforce and the nice thing is, that means I can put even wider freaking tires on!!! I am so gonna go with this one unless someone can prove better.

i like the Do-Luck kit with the wide-body Front +10mm and Rear +30mm Fenders the best, but i seen a black 350 with the top secret wide body this morning, pictures wouldn't do it justice.

heres a picture of the Do-Luck from intensepower:
