Default Do Luck Widebody Install

Changing up things. Installing a Do Luck Widebody. Painting it Lambo Baloon White from the window sill down and Black on top.

Here are pics of the status, will update as they come.

I realize that there are some issues, they will all be resolved as the work is completed.

I want this kit on my car so bad. It will be nice to see your progress since I have full intention of doing this myself one day. GL and I love the pics. Hands down the best widebody for the Z.

this is going to look sick if the paint job comes out right. i nearly did it myself but backed out due to the tedious cleaning needed on a flat pearl white paint job. but good luck man i think this will be one bad *** Z once complete

Yeah I plan too. My pocket has been seriously depleted from this project so I am going to run spacers for now but I plan to run 12's in the rear 10.5 inthe front with the most agressive offset I can get without damaging the fenders.

The next set I download I will make sure they are a tad bigger, I agree.

No worries everyone is a noob to cars at some point. The reason the for fenders being cut are that I plan in the future to run a wider rim/tire combo. So to prevent tire rub when the car is lowered the fenders need to be cut.

That nice to know that if I decide to this I will be able to use my 10.5's on the front. I was thinking 12's in the back also. Any idea's on what rims you want yet? The 2 tone will really set this off. I am so glad you posted this.

I'm happy someone in FL is going with this setup as I've never seen one
in person... I hope you reconsider the two tone, but obviously it's your
cash. I always wanted to do the front fenders only, but this should take
the cake.
