Well guys give me some feed back. What is your opinion of a wide body kit on a 240. Ok, to ricey, or hey its your car do what you want. Also how much work is involved any experience? Thanks.

if you are doing it just for looks then go to hell.if you are doing it to finsih off your well rounded car then ok.

ouch.

yea, it is your car, and you should do what you want. Work involved? normally a lot of bondo.. so .. a lot :P

[teriyakibroccoli]

that is.. unless you buy the parts pre molded... which is money up the yin yang.

Well thanks for the input guys. Dont worry the plan for the car will be well rounded. It will be done right, not half assed. I kinda of want a GT class styled car. Thats the goal right now.

For a good wide body kit for the 240 you are looking to spend around 3 to 4 thousand dollars just for the kit then it has to be installed and painted.

[240sxGT]

Yeah the cost is deffiantely a question, but if it is going to be a year long project car maybe I can make it fit the budget. There are other pros in my situation which also allow me to consider the kit

well I hope to see pictures of it when it is done, I have thought of the widebody kit myself, but have decided on going with the GP Sports G-four kit instead.

It will be a while but I will post some pics.

good luck with the car, it will look awesome. I just realized you are from dayton do you hit any regular cruise ins? I am from cincinnati and would like to come to dayton and check out some of the cars.

Widebodies are at least more appropriate on 240s than most of the cars they end up on. Just make sure you run the correct wide wheels to match. Nothing is uglier IMO than a cheesy widebody with massive fenders tucking over skinny little wheels. There are also all different syles of widebody. The Vertex Ridge widebody kit is #1 I think, clean and badass. Or the C-West which is just mean as hell, and also all metal I belive (less bondo). Or you could just go for some nice clean flares, like Non Fujita's s14a. Then there's the exotic supercar look (probably the haviest) like Jaquemond kits, which are only really appropriate and available for hatchback 240s. If you don't have a big turbo upgrade, huge brakes, and insane wheels to go along, don't get widebody yet. PS: Jspec has some great wheels specifically for widebody for sale right now- if you are gonna do this, buy them now for cheap!
