Default Project: Subtle widebody

Custom made @ JC Autobody

I didn't want anything extreme.

My wheels were rebuilt. Negative offsets front and rear.

I wanted to maintain preserve the stock body line and curves of the car and if possible enhance them.

Basically started with an Ings front lip and top secret Rears and everything else is custom. Even the the lip and top secret rears probably won't be recognizable once it's finished.

Here she is....

Wander over to fiberglassforums sometime... EVERYONE there uses duct tape, and most of them are pros. I don't really get it either, but it seems to be the standard choice.

The way he is tapering the fenders in, it looks to me like he intends to keep the stock sideskirts.
