I want to widen the body of my car. Im not sure if i want to widen the front fenders, but im sure i want to widen the back. Hope someone knows what this kit is called, and where to get it from.

that pic is a wide body kit. involves alot of body work.

if you want to just widen the fenders look into fender flares.

personally i wouldnt any of those mods.

Well, i plan on having a fast car, and i want it to look as fast as it is Plus for some reason i love the way that car looks. I usually dont go for these kinda mods (even tho i did get a body kit after i got into an accident) but this car just looks so clean to me.

the weight you'll pick up, along with the hardcore custom body work required - heh, it's only worth it if you REALLY want it. It's not a bolt on ordeal. Typically you have to have it done completely custom and it's not cheap.

Good point. I think it is kind of funny that a lot of ricers spend serious cash to add 20 or 30 hp, then add 100lbs of wings, bumpers, and other misc. junk parts neutralizing half the actual performance increase.

That's the price you pay to have your car look uniquly... un-unique.

Thats not a bolt on kit you are looking at. Thats alot of custom bodywork requiring alot of time, and alot of $$$.

Try www.visracing.com or www.wholehyper.com

Might want to call either one of these places specifically to see if they have an application for your car.

Save your money and put it into something useful like the engine.

my friend had a trd replica wide body put on his mr-2 turbo. the kit costed like 600 from karisma. and the body work and paint costed like 3 grand. it looks sick as shit with 17x9.5 Volk GT-N's in the rear. but it looks right on his car cuz its a RWD car and it has a jdm 3sgte motor boosting 14psi.

im not really into the whole widebody and head light/tail light conversion, major custom bodywork on hondas. id much rather have a like a nice simple lip kit or a subtle full kit like cwest or xenon and a nice set of wheels and spend the rest of the money on gofast mods rather than plan on having a fast car and making it look fast before it is actually "fast." and by fast, what do you mean fast? how are you going to accomplish this "fastness," alot of people want to make their cars fastm espeically accords but alot of the times it just isnt feasable. fat accord requires a boat load of money.

function > form or atleast function before form...
