s14 koguchi all metal rip off...good idea bad idea? photoshop?

[jgauspohl]

so I have a black kouki that I love dearly. During my last event @ Cordele I ****ed the paint on the front fenders (too slammed gr pro's plus 18x9 weapons in low offset means fender contact lmfao). Anyway the rears are also rubbing just a bit. So I looked at koguchi's widebody look on their site ...but of course nothing for the s14. So I thought about taking that same look and applying it to the s14. I have a complete black s14 shell that I think I'm going to have the rear quarters cut off and english wheeled and have more metal added to get the look in the rear and then just have the fronts english wheeled and have metal added near the door to achieve the same look. I'm just trying to get some opinions on how people think this will look. I'm pretty sure I can get 30mm in the front or more no problem and quite a bit in the rear. And the good thing is it will all be metal. Shoot if someone can photoshop this look that would be interesting.

good luck! LOL

Koguchi fenders are doope. but, imo.. it would sound easier to just mold on flares or something... just my .02

You trying to get the look of the smooth bulged wheelwell arch, or of the extended/vented trailing edge? If it's the former, get four older audi A4 front fenders, cut, weld, and there you go...

[jgauspohl]

extended vented trailing edge....I've got a complete front wrecked chassis beside my house thinking about cutting the rear quarters off adding some metal as needed and voila...plus buying another set of front fenders for my kouki and using two sets to do the same thing to the front...either that or just adding some metal to the area near the hood line. Anyone feel like photchoppin!

a dude from england built that s14 in his backyard, it has some sick custom one off body work.

[Klodust]

ehh looks more like a JGTC racing which i do not hate just ehh.... hopefully that car is not for drifting.

but knowing that it was custom made/one off is pretty baller

If I were to ever do a widebody it would be in metal just make sure you have someone that knows what they are doing. Shaping metal into body panels that look good is an art and there should be very little filler when you are done. I say go for it. I was thinking the same thing for my car when we were putting a new quarter on but changed my mind. Molded in fiberglass will always fail and look like crap after a short time.

IMO, That is WIN.

i understand that he made it on his own...it looks nice but i hope it doesnt fall apart as soon as it hits 60mph.

why would it just "fall apart"?

whoa you're from knoxville?

[Kckouki]

Yes, and he's a badarse.

[jgauspohl]

well the chassis next to the garage got cut up finally with the sawzaw...only got 18.5 for 730lbs of scrap steel...which was enough for lunch for me and my buddy who helped me. I did keep the rear quarters on both sides. As soon as I get the money flow going again...I'm taking these to these to a shop off john sevier...and going to have them do the work. Should be pretty trick and of course one off. And not so bulky looking as that time attack kit, which in fact looks alot like this company in I believe it was nz/au that produces kit pieces that look alot like that.
