What's up guys!

I have an APR widebody all around, but I want to change the front fenders to a non-widebody and metal. The front bumper to something like a Kuruma in plastic, but also keep the wide *** in the rear. It kind of reminds me of this Porsche with wider rear fenders than the front.

Is it even possible? Or even look good?

Fiberglass cracks too easily especially being lowered and shitty road conditions

Any thing is possible with money, but as far as if it will look good I'm sure it will and if it dosnt look amazing you have a 1 off kit that you won't see again so I say go for it I like the kuruma bumper on these cars and as long as you have wider front fenders than I think it willlook ok

I love the Kuruma look also. I could probably get some metal OEM front fenders and flare them out or keep the APR fenders. The tricky part is fitting a Kuruma with the APR widebody or converting it into one

Too bad there is not a vendor on here that could make you a poly front bumper that you could incorporate with the rest of your widebody kit. Maybe someone will step up to the plate????

Our KurumaZ bumpers come in polyurethane, fiberglass won't last on the street or track. If you used OE fenders and flared them at the top then the bottom would flow into the KurumaZ bumper perfectly. That's what I did with my BRE prepped Datsun 510 a very long time ago....Gary

^ not true, good glass work is what it is and very tough. But you can't argue that fiberglass front fenders are better than metal.

I hate glass.
