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

Default 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!

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

However, there are others.
