Default Widebody kit

Who makes the best widebody kit?
factory turbolook, best fitment, possibly in carbon fiber? maybe even with X88 turbo s inlets???
Fiberglass ok too.

My car has OE turbo front fenders and the rears are steel flares welded to the rear arches. Iirc, that’s how the factory widebodies were made.

Bill at Xtreme Cylinder Heads worked on the heads and made custom valves. I don’t know what size he ended up using. I left all that in his good hands.

I ordered a set of forged Zuffenhaus Fuchs reps in 17. But after 3 or 4 years of the car and wheels sitting waiting for me to pull the trigger on the engine rebuild, the availability of suitable track tires seemed to have vanished. I had to order a set of track wheels in 18s. The 17 Fuchs will be relegated to street duty as only Sumitomos are available in 17s in the sizes I need.

Ordered a set of custom speedline reps from Augment Wheels

Dampers and springs arrived yesterday. Many thanks to Wyatt Gilbert of MCS and Steve Weiner of Rennsport Systems.

Installation scheduled after car comes back from paint.
