Default Had A BooBoo - Time To WideBody?

Ill start off with, I will get pics up later, its late and I just got off a LONG (38hr) day(s) of work.

The story goes: I was tired (as you can tell i work alot) and I was backing out of a parking spot. I was looking behind me to check my rear, all was clear. Turned the wheel to back out and....CRUNCH. I had forgotten there was a light pole there with a concrete base. Needless to say part of my front bumper and front left fender are gone.

The question goes: Is it time to get a widebody kit? If so which should I get? If not what do you suggest?

Sorcery Kit IMO, except for the hideous rear overfenders that need to be cut up and remolded so they dont look like wings.

front fender and bumper replacement... like what 800-1500... widebody purchase and install... 10k... not including needing new wheels to go with it

i recommend maybe a nice aftermarket bumper and replace the fender...

unless of course money is no issue (in which case i am jealous) I would get the tracy sports wide body kit...

So wait, your having trouble clearing objects in tight spaces already and your thinking about going wider?

I'm just playin. Go for it, I never get to see a widebody S anywhere but online. Help out by getting another one on the road!

On the other hand, there are so many sick looking things you can do without the need for the drastic change of going wide. I'm pretty sure they all cost a lot less too.

APR was one of my faves for awhile until a friend of mine said that the front fenders reminded him of an RX-8...Currently No. 1 choice if I were to go widebody...

If you can afford it definitely go wide body.

+1 for the apr kit. I love everything about this kit except the little part that sticks up at the top of the head light.
