Dude, a wide body kit IS NOT flashy. It serves a very good purpose: HANDLING and a lower center of gravity. IMO it takes away from the "ricey" look, by making it more sturdy.

Err... whatever you say... I think that for the price of a wide body kit, you could get a better deal getting suspension mods. Getting a wide body kit and saying it's helping the center of gravity is like saying getting a body kit to help with downforce. Plus, I doubt he's going to race that thing on a track with twists and turns like they do in Hollywood at 70 mph. I just think it's a waste of money (a lot of money). All opinions though. Imo, they're more flashy than performance.... (remember, all opinions)
edit: Oh yeah, I remember seeing in a magazine, two 350z's, both stock engines, one with hardly anything done to it, and another with a wide body kit and a small spoiler. They tested both cars on a circuit track and the Z with the wide body kit had worse times every time. Just facing facts. edit #2: Though I enjoy talking about the thing I love most, this isn't the place to be doing it.

wide kits are obviously just for looks, they do look friggin mean on a car, (specially escort mk1 + 2's with wide arches). But a skyline is sexy enough as standard, no need to play cosmetic surgeon on them. (do as much as you want to the engine)
p.s. off topic but I saw a Clio v6 t'other day with the best reg plate, V800 OOM, with a screw over the bottom of the 8 making it look like it says VROOOOM!

Now that's the shi* that's flashy (but, if done right, looks good)...These road cars don't travel fast enough to absolutely NEED a huge spoiler, they're all for looks.
BTW, I just realized that your username is supposed to look like the back of a skyline, with the two O's being the tailights.....VERY CLEVER :wink:

I've got my eye on a couple of vented wide front wings on Yahoo auctions in Japan at the moment...
It helps having a mate who lives in Japan. One day my car will be over 100BHP and I'll be happy (for a few months. :wink: )
