Stock body is rad and my first pick, but if it has to be one of those two, I'd say Varis.
Oh beacuse spending $1000 on just a pair of Todoroki front fenders is logical...id rather spend $4500 on install, parts and paint on a Rb kit then a riced out Over priced $10000 Varis kit including paint and install...

Oh, so you'd buy both? Proper grammar helps others understand what you're trying to say.

Also, modifying cars isn't logical at all to begin with. It's all lost money at the end of the day anyways. I'd rather spend $1,000 on full replacement front fenders, THAN spend $4500 to cut up my car and rivet on some fiberglass slabs. The same fiberglass slabs that are being put on 50 different cars these days.

Would you also rather spend $1200 on Rota Grids and getting them powder coated whatever color because spending $3000 on TE37s isn't logical? Help me out. I'm just trying to understand your way of thinking.

My point is $1200 fenders vs $500 rocket bunny fenders... i didn't realize you needed to be a fucking genius to figure out what my point was...

I have a rb in the mail as we speak and I answered no to every one of those questions.. Don't have to be an unoriginal swagster to appreciate the bunny. I think you have a very limited understanding on why people choose widebody's.

Honestly i like the RB kit, its aggressive but still simple. Although...V2 is alittle over the top i still like the front bumper.

Yeah i agree with the v2 being a bit over the top as well. More of challenge to pull that one off imo.

We definitely have seen LESS botched v2's than v1's... maybe the v2 still has a chance at online dignity.

The stock body is perfect imo.

Every wide body that I have seen on a 86 has been a RB. Hell, I used to work at the same company with a guy that RB his Ferrari 458.

Almost every RB that I have seen won't make it one corner up in the canyons without a panel rubbing or coming off. Most are half assed put together that you can't see in pictures but very apparent in person. Even a properly installed kit looks too "aftermarket".

But whatever floats your boat. I personally feel that there is no need to butcher what I consider perfection unless their is a need for a wider track. But given the demographic that I've seen sporting RB, performance isn't at the top of their list anyways.

I see what your getting at, you could put that money towards better coils or a forced induction kit. But honestly I'm doing the kit because i want to put bigger wheels on for track days and spacers are a laugh. I'll throw that wide body on with some camber plates and new control arms. Way i see it, death to understeer :X. Plus i've always loved DTM style cars.

I like the varis kit abit more since its more track focus then rb . But the down side is varis is like double the price of rb.

I have hks coilovers and forced induction pushing about 350hp
