i always wondered why you didn't go for more J's parts like the front fenders and rear overs, but now i know you were just holding out for the widebody! Looks good!
my opinion: i think paint matching the hood and lowering the car more would look good. It would create a more unison look to everything. Maybe a proper custom dual exhaust setup too, would look great. Otherwise, the widebody looks killer man! widebody isn't for everyone, but it's nice to see this new kit on a local car.

I was thinking of spraying the hood the authentic js carbon weave is just too pretty to spray over.. Im waiting for the clear coat to go bad or soemthing then im going to spray it... I am going to lower it and dial more camber out of the rear so it sits more flush..
i went single cuz i wanted to be different and went fully custom exhaust... but yeah.. Thanks again~!

I do plan on tracking it.. putting the aero to real use.. As of right now, im keeping it as a show car until i can get some power in the car..and once i get a clear bra to save the custom paint job...
But this kit is built for aerodynamics and I plan to use it just for that soon enough..

Not to nitpick, but functional where? Driving down the street or to a meet? I think not.

No not adding power makes me the fastest driver and I know that, but the fact the way this kit has a lot of downforce and my tires being the size that they are, they are extremely weighing the car down... It needs a little jump in power to suffice for all the aero on it...

As much as that kit is designed for the track, I don't think I could risk damaging it. I would be scared shitless. That widebody is way too expensive. It will take some serious balls to push 100% with that aero IMO.
The car does look great though...the thing I thought was kind of funny was that the wheels came before the body. What I mean is, originally you were pushing hellaflush levels and then eventually the body fit the wheels instead of the other way around for a functional fitment/look.
I don't care what anyone says, 95% of us would rock that aero any given day if we could afford it.

I preferred it better with the overfenders and js bumper...
widebody looks just odd without a hardtop so i think to truly pull it off a hard-top is a must and I'm not sure what the specs on your te's are, but I would think either you'll need to go wider or just go lower to again, truly pull it off but then you risk damaging expensive ass aero
