YES!!! Love these body styles.

That is interesting project.I had a customer come in recently ,he wants to widen old Mini Cooper ,but literally cutting it in half to widen it.I was just wondering why widen rear same as front and not more in the rear?

Because when it is done it will still have most of the factory look and be really "clean" looking. And with doing this we can still fit atleast a 10 inch wheel without modding anything or mini tub. I dont think we need a whole lot more. But one thing, dont go down the middle unless you want to pay more and deal with more trouble because then you are looking at new glass and everything inside the car being changed. Find a good body line or flat spot to follow

I saw this car at a recent private track day I attended
 

Someone still makes the wide body stuff in glass, but I cannot for the life of me remember who he said. This car has an LS6. Good luck on your project!

^ I like that

You were correct with relocating the hinges out. I put on the fender and it definitely rubs. [/B]

Yeah I just found this out the hard way too. I kind of anticipated it but after some discussion on another thread figured I could get away with it. And you could if you were cheesy but now I need to go back in and space the door hinges out after all.

Widening cars is the new trend. I am doing mine because I too have never really liked the giant fender flare thing. I tried hard for many years but it just always looked ludicrous even going with a race car vibe. Some cars work well to "bubble" ie "coke bottle" the car but my vehicle, '67 Mustang, has too many straight body character lines I don't want to bubble it. Its amazing how much just 2" on each side helps cover the tire. One nice thing about those straight lines though is that it definitely has a nice flat spot along the top fo the doors you can barely tell its widened. I was surprised how easy it was really to split the doors. Yeah a lot of work but didn't take me that long.

That body kit looks like it could have come from these guys:
