Heres the first edition: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92510 Topic: Burnt Titanium Tips

This topic is going to be on Widebody kits. I am NOT here to hurt any feelings, just to get a poll of people on this forum about the current fads nowadays. None of the photos are mine and found on google images.

I have seen a couple well done widebody cars.... but rocket bunny has never been one of them.

So long as it isn't a cookie cutter Rocket Bunny build with Forgestar F14 wheels, then I'm not going to hate on it.

Depends on the setting for me. Car show/car meet? Nice. Street driving? Rice

STV3 · 01-13-2016, 12:22 PM

I voted nice because when done correctly they can look really good and even provide function in come circumstances.

With that said, I feel like 90% of the widebody kits done out there are rice...

I've seen some good widebody kits, and I've seen some hideous. I liked what RSD did with their rocket bunny car pre-insane aero upgrades.

I appreciate the work, especially if the paint is clean and the bodywork is on point, but not my stilo.

The basic look makes the car look like a track car being driven on the road. As long as the car is not all SHOW and no GO ... then I don't mind it at all.

Not sure I would do this on my road car. Track ... yes .... if it was functional.

Wide body cars looks cool at car shows, photo shoots and video games. But in the real world i don't think they look that great.

I also don't like them because they take away too much of the originality of a car.

I always preferred the clean look and when people mod a car but try to keep the originality of it intact.

If its done right, molded into the body with sheet metal and repainted (that black one), yea looks decent, but that stuff I've seen where you bolt it into the side, no its awful

So yea I didn't vote because I can't

CAMBAM_6 · 01-13-2016, 01:06 PM

There are plenty of quality and functionally built cars with widebodies. I believe its the whole stanced/stretch tire trend that makes the majority of the widebody builds look bad. This forum seems to really hate on Rocket Bunny, i'll never understand why that's an amazing looking kit. I love the design when it's done right.

I personally like it,,cus I wanted to be rice once in my life!
