yeah... this kit is going to retail for $6,402 and be distributed through greddy.

I am building one of these for the sema show.... install and paint alone will run average consumer at least 2 grand to cut and fit fenders/wing/lips.

in addition to that proper wheels in custom sizing for fit front and rear fenders will run around minimum 400 per corner averaging 600-700.

then a decent set of of coilovers start at around 1500

not to mention a good set of tires is around 1000...

all and all average cost to put this kit on, paint it, lower car, and have decent set of wheels you are looking around 12,000-13,000 to do a proper widebody

The kit would look great in carbon fibre/kevlar (no need to paint), and im sure would be much lighter.

Otherwise, what's the use of adding HP only to add more weight?

As a full-on track car it looks the business, provided it has the go to match the show, as has been mentioned.

For a street car, the wing needs to be replaced with something subtle.

this kit is perfect, wing included, all you haters are just hating

way more functional than anything else i've seen so far.

makes the car look like a fucking batmobile, i'd totally rock this kit (even keep it unpainted on my whiteout)

Forgive me for being a n00b here, but do the wheels come out that far solely due to their offset or are they spaced out wider (and would that be included in the kit?)?

its a wide tire with extremely low offset. gives lots of rubber and widens the wheelbase without having to widen structure body

Where do you see it retailing for that? You can order it direct from Japan even with shipping would be WAY under that.
