I think the G could've gone w/ a more aggressive offset set up. the z has the right idea however.

I think the car should be painted a more aggressive color, because silver is kind of subtle.

The extra weight will just slow the car down.

I highly doubt they're trying to build a track car

We did the sizing on the Z for them. We wanted to go with 19" but the right offset and width wasn't available in that model. Not sure what they did on the G.

Why are you saying there is extra weight? The front, front fenders, sides, and rear are all replacement pieces that should weigh less, if not the same as the stock pieces.

The kit is 6k true but if you add paint/install is another 4-5k!

Its just a hard choice when your also thinking of doing FI.

that G looks good....I think the poster meant that Z is the first widebody with the TopSecret kit, not the first widebody Z....

Thats right! It totally slipped my mind that they were replacement bolt ons! It should be alot lighter... but it would need deeper and wider rims. Thats a good thing, and a bad thing at the same time.

Does anyone remember Cash Singh's wide body accord? I think thats his name, it was a LONG time ago! I remember that his wheels were so wide, they had to custom make a set of tires just to fit!

The install is all bolt on except the rear fenders...something you could do yourself or something that would be fairly inexpensive for a shop to do. What kind of paint job costs $4,000+??

Trust me I've called, they paint the kit and paint part of the car so it all blends.
