topsecret wide body kit?

I just had a few questions about this kit, maybe some of ya'll have got it on your g35, but I was wondering if you have it, was the instalition simple? was there any molding, or extensive drilling involved? If anyone has one please post a pic.

Ive seen the kit being installed. Its a MAJOR job! You screw the flares into the car and then fiberglass them on. Might as well do a color change at the time of install. Your pretty much painting the car anyway.

I understood that the widebody panels replace the stock ones completely so they shouldnt be screwed in ??

that really sounds like a ton of pretty risky work goin on, do ya'll think that the labor would cost a fortune?

Have you priced out the kit? I would say figure to spend about 10k total, kit/install/paint. Two other items to think about would be wheel size (20's) and the rear wheelwell will you cut it or leave it alone.

why would you not cut the wheelwell? isn't the whole point to add biga55 rims?

Everything is bolt-on except the rear fenders. The front fenders completely replace the front ones. This work is relatively simple.

The rear fenders should be attached with rivets. Most people like to mold them to the car. Once on, to get the most wheel/tire clearance, the stock sheet metal underneath the rear fenders can be cut away. The wide fenders take the place of what you're cutting away and it is not visible so it's not a "risky" job but it is permanent. The rear fenders are the only tricky part of the kit.
