As long as you do a solid color the car should look nice.

I'm guessing you are down south. My boy Gary (Drifter X) had the exact same setup as you. Wheels were a bit wider though.




Front's are 18X10 -0+ and the rear is 18X11 -1

I love the 19 volks, just not wide enough, i wanted to get bigger barrels but it might be cheaper to get new rims all together. Theres no need for a dyno time atm bc its a stock 1j , i have plans for single turbo in the future. As far as vinyl goes im not sure what color. I just wrapped my friends m3 in silver carbonfiber and it turned out really good. So maybe ill do blacktop carbon, hood, roof, and trunk. Then maybe silver sides. Not sure yet

I'm curious as to where you got the wide body and what you paid for it. Fitment doesn't look to bad for not having done much body work

Thanks for all the positive feedback. The kit is part vertex and part imitation. I ordered it from carbon fiber hoods but you could also get it from chaser aero. It fits suprisingly well. Im not a bodyman but i installed the kit wo any major issues. Much better quality than those ebay kits.

you are in the right direction forsure but not all the way there yet.

You need to just do some finishing details and I agree get a new set of more agressive wheels and you will have a great car.

I also think you are heading into the right direction. It seems you are well on your way to a nicer ride, than what it was. We dont criticize for the cell pictures, but we demand better ones in this thread! I am not a fan of the wide body, but the color choice flows well it.. Keep the SC community posted of your progress.
