this is a repost if you find the other thread there is pics of the car before the widebody and it is gorgeous. The widebody is horrible but if you find the pics from before its obvious the guy who owns it knows a thing or two about vehicles.

I have seen the pics before. I would be so sad if I went to get a widebody kit on my car then showed up at the body shop and thats what I ended up with

A little too over the top, but I can definitely appreciate the work that went into this one.

Ok so i did my homework and reserched this car and learned alot..why i was board i guess but i saw pics of this car from the begining to the end and the transformation was kinda neat. The owner is a Vet back from a tour So kudos for that. He is a member as others stated "idrmofs7"

The Begining late 05



early 07 The mods begin



Late 07 The Dry Look



Late 08 The Wet Look




ok just one more of the pure beauty


Sometime between late 08 and early 09 a fender bender must have caused a desecion to be made


Early 09 The Next Transformation Begins




And out pops this



idrmofs7 this was done out of respect

Cheers!

It was soooo awesome when it was full carbon.... A fender bender caused him to do THIS???

I wish he would have just replaced that fender/bumper and called it a day..

The side profile looks like a VW Bug.

I saw this car on the street here in AZ. I was stopped right next to him at a street light, and my fiance was like "WTF did he do that for?".

Absolutely hideous IMO... Most of the widebody's that come out of that Donlyson's place are ugly IMO...

Too much dinero, a little lacking in the taste department.

Theres no doubt the car was the shiznizzle as a CF masterpiece...but I say yes to creativity. If the car stirs up controversy and attention, then congrats on being innovative. Its one for the records tho....

Yeah but you can garner attention without making your car look like ****... He could have done a functional, crazy one off widebody, maybe something based on a JGTC car.

This just looks like a Need For Speed Underground wannabe poser car.


If he absolutely HAD to go buckwild with a widebody... Why not something more along these lines:


At least its functional...

This thing was sick with the full carbon fiber. I dont mind it in its current state. Im sure it gets a lot of attention at car shows. Very custom obviously. My only question is how the hell did you get the wheels flush with the wide body. Thats got to be atleast 4 inches past the stock wheel well
