Bondo vs fender cutting and rivets. hmmmmm

Sounds like you just want an excuse to get a widebody.

Just fix your car it don't look bad from the high res photos you posted

$2k doesn't even cover half the cost of going RB

Personally I think wide-body looks dumb as hell but to each our own.

the only noticeable thing is the front fender.

the dent on rear quarter will drive me nuts even though no body else notices it.

so if i keep it stock the entire rear quarter has to be replaced "entire side of the car" and i refuse to use bondo = garbage. so the car will be at body shop for a couple weeks.

but if i do a widebody i can send it for paint and keep driving it. I will pay out of pocket to cover rest of cost on RB kit.

I will add a 3rd option of just replace front fender get it painted bout $500ish + buy a buffer 250ish and spend rest on some coilovers

In addition to WB kit you probably will need extra spending on different offset wheels aswell.

You will end up spending that $2000 just on wheels and tires so that the RB kit does not look even more silly then they already do.

Wheels/tires, likely spacers, adjustable coilovers, lower control arms, camber bolts, fenders (plus paint, plus mounting or molding), the rest of the kit (bumpers, side skirts, etc.)...

That will definitely be more than some basic dent removal and body repair, which seem to be all you need based on the above photos. Of course, I am assuming that you have none of the above-mentioned mods already done to your car but I am going purely based on the photo you posted.

already got money aside for rims and tires regardless of what option i choose. so does not matter.

and only reason i have not done rb before is because i did not want to trash perfectly good fenders. but now that they are both jacked im ok with it.

i sold my camaro other day for 4k so that money is for rims and exhaust and a tune

So why ask if you're okay with it now?

Unless you want our approval, if that is the case please send a $110 processing fee to everyone who replied in this thread. Add $80 for expedited handling.

Exactly, some people don't realize its an easy over $10k project for a proper RB kit.

Also an opinion but Agree with this. The only reason why I don't like wide body because all that looks unnatural. And a bunch of bolt/pins around your whole fender looks cheap .. not cheap financially either. If the OEM fenders were made wide body ,w00t that's something to go for :D but Like @jasonojordan said to each their own
