    yes widebody?!?! anyone ever seen this done to a gp id love to see my red 02 with more of a coke bottle figure and staggered wheels. If oklahoma has a nice automotive shop like RedStone Aresnal does Id attempt it. I wanna paint my car anyways. heres a link to a nice camaro in progress. I think it could be pulled off if the bumpers were left alone. Ive seen some really nice M3s done with factory bumpers I dont see why a GP couldnt be done. Oh No!! Not another Camaro Wide Body Thread! - LS1TECH

    you can buy fender flares from MPD. you need to do a bunch of body work to get them to look right, but youre talking about a wide body grand prix here..

    also, staggered wheels looks cool, but it is kind of useless for us. it's really up to you if you want to spend a lot of money on rear tires...

    MPD's kit isn't just flares, nor could you just use the flares. The bumpers itself flare out. It only add a cosmetic appeal, the kit doesn't actually make the wheel well any bigger or wider.

    Widebody= FAR FROM RICE. COSTS WAY TOO MUCH MONEY/TIME!

    I speak from experience.

    Ive seen plenty of M3's Supras and the list goes on with wheels that are well over the 305 series width for tires. If done right wider fenders should equal more room. My point exaclty about kits getting a bad name for slapping on a kit and running wimpy wheels and tires. yes it may require some cuting but I also realise that this body style started in 97 and are very easy to find. Its not like hacking up a Skyline. Id simply like so see something new done with these cars besides mustang wheels and the popular hoods and whatnot.

    you dont think gotboost3s silver gp on black cobras would look good lowered with some fenders that could tuck that wheel and tire set up? very nice looking set up. if he had the stance nailed id be like it even more.

    here is a prix with 18s in the front and 19s in the back. i think it looks awesome, but it is fairly useless. it is also bagged.

    Not quite a fan of it that low but thats alot more like it, that car looks nice with the mismatched size wheels especially since i drive a red couple i like that thing. Thats what i meant by getting a stance nailed. Seems to me all the import guys and euros got the stance part down id like to see more gps like that! any one know where a guy can get an adjustable coil over set like the tien EFDC? for a gp that would rock.

    if youre looking for coilovers for our cars youre going to want to get in touch with held motorsports.

    HT Motorsports... new name.

    The owner is Eric H. He's pretty cool and cares about us W-Bodies.

    The site is westshorefabrications.com... IIRC.

    Don't play email tag with him. Just call. You will get more info and better pricing.

    i figured saying "held" would lead to the right place through searching anyway. i didnt know what their new name was.

    i wish i had enough money for coilovers.
