I wouldn't do it. You can't really take it off if you want to and if you modify your car the kit will make it a cop magnet. Also your gunna need to lower your car and get wheels big enough to fill it out. Personally I wouldn't for a DD.

The kit looks great and very aggresive. I was about to go this rout and then a few thoughts came to my head:
1)I am absolutely sure I will tire of the kit's "stuck-on" appearance and those damn bolts. Seems more suited for a race/rally car than a DD. i dont know, the bolts look rice to me and i dont like it to be super obvious the fenders are just stuck there especially with bolts
2) if something stupid were to happen ( anybody backs onto my car) this will be a BITCH to repair and$$$$. Remember ur fender will be cut up, it will be hard to fix a cut up fender. You'll probably need to order a new fender and cross your fingers it doesn't happen in the rear
3) once its on, you never go back
4) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and then some. Cost is for the kit, paint, the JOB. Then you need some kind of suspension and some heavy big ass wheels to go with the wider body
5) please dont do the looks without doing the engine, slap on at least a supercharger, $$$

Dont get me wrong. This kit ruffles my feathers. I just can live with its difficulty to maintain and its stupid looking bolts. Oh yeah, bondo... Not a good idea to mold it onto the body. That will just cause it to crack eventually and look horrid

you can daily drive it if you really want to. like the others said, you have to determine your ride height. i know a local person that drives a 993 porsche with the RWB kit on it. he could not for the life of him drive it home because he could not clear this one speedbump in his complex. he ended up buying a cup kit for the front of his car from www.umbrellaautodesign.com (i am not affiliated with them by anymeans) but its pretty cool, it's a pair of small airbags that go on top of your existing coilovers that comes with a small pump. apparently, it does not affect handling whatsoever.

he got it, installed it. flick of a switch, he cleared it. you might need it ;)

Definitely a daily driver with no problems.

Also remember, you don't NEED to cut the fenders, it'll just look far much more better if you cut them to fit your wheels precisely and line up nicely.

so if you don't cut the fenders, all you have to worry about is drilling the holes for the bolts?

Some great points here. Giving me alot to consider. thanks for the input :thanks:

I'm also most definitely going vortech later on down the road, so it's not gonna be all show no go lol.

To all the people asking about daily driving the rocket bunny, it's not a problem whatsoever. I definitely took a hit to my mpg
And the open side cut off areas of the over fenders do throw rocks/gravel onto my car but hey what do you expect?

Installation wise besides cutting fenders paint and riveting, you also need to weld the area that's cut into one piece again. When you cut the fender you separate the unibody from
The outer fender and need to fill that hole up or else stuff will get INSIDE your car and I was able to see inside my door! I filled up the gap with an expanding sealant foam but that was just for temporary and I will be welding it soon. To be honest, this kit actually isn't very difficult to install yourself. Minor shaving to extra molding around pieces were required but I sanded all of it down. You basically like up the over fenders, drill holes and rivet.

If you don't cut your fenders you're not gonna be able to fill up the gap and its gonna look like stock wheels with over fenders....from a rear view
It'll look like you have no wheels :lol:

Not if you're running a really wide wheel set-up, seen a few ones with the same as what you're saying and it's horrible yes. But I've also seen some with reallllly wide wheels.

Please don't spread misinformation if you have no idea what you're talking about.


It is absolutely necessary to cut/weld your fenders if you don't fancy your tires hitting and damaging your fenders -- this kit requires to run NEGATIVE offsets to look even remotely flush.


If you're not running wide wheels + tires, what is the point of having a widebody? :iono:

Because not racecar?

I already assumed that it would affect my mpg. I was more worried about the functionality of it rather than things like mpg. For all those who are saying you could never go back to stock, i fully understand that. But if I were to sell my car i'd obviously sell it with the kit and wheel setup etc. Or at least that's what i'd hope to do. With the car being out for a little more than year, i've only seen one rocketbunny being sold so far, and he's a member on this forum as well. I guess I have to really decide whether I would be keeping this car for a really long time. I'm so torn! :sigh:

I'm not spreading misread information. I'm pretty sure I've seen other topics talking about this. Thanks for correcting me then :)
