Question Looking for a body kit, which one?

I am looking for a body kit right asap because this yahoo in a bigo truck backed up in to my car. It jacked up the passenger fender, front bumper cover and even broke the head light. I am going to replace all these parts and I figured i might as well get a body kit while I am at it. The only thing is which one would look good. I was thinking of one of these? I'm opened for ideas.
1.)B2 Wide body kit
2.)Extreme Dimensions C-2 body kit
3.)Vader 3 Wide body kit
4.)Chargespeed

The only reason I was thinking of the wide body kits is because I wanted to fit a wide tire in the rear. Is the Chargespeed made of good material like the one's from Duraflex? Whats the whole kit sell for and from whom should I purchase it from?

you can go 305 tires with the stock body. I think its more about offset of rims then tire size when it comes to widebody kits. You really wanna spend over $1600 on tires?. I would stick with chargespeed from those choices.

The reason I want a wide tire in the rear cause I am going to put LS7 441 which is going to be pumping out little over 700hp at the rear wheels. Plus a direct port 250 shot of nitrous. So the more rubber I have in the rear the better. i know there is more to it, but its a start.

Well... obviously, money is no object. Chargespeed has a super wide body kit as well. It's not very pretty, but... sounds like you want a drag racer. It would fit the bill. I'm not certain but I think you can get Chargespeed kits at Vividracing.

LS7? That's crazy. When will your project be complete? And what size tires will you be running for the rear? 305 or 315?

If you have the time and money to order it, wait for it to be made, and to have it shipped its well worth it believe me.

B2 isn't the same as Veilside 3. I don't know that I'd go so far as to say the differences are subtle but regardless, the two kits are definitely not the same.
