Default Custom W I D E body project

Posting a few pics of my custom wide body project to see likes / dislikes.
It is a 2011 GT with an 08 tail light panel and trunk cover. [I dislike the 10 up rear]
APR wide body conversion. Cervini rear spoiler glassed on to the quarters.
70 tail light lenses mounted in custom made panels.

Original white on the sides. Black hood and roof, and a bit of grabber blue separating the 2 [sail panels, etc]

Probably a couple more months for the paint. No rush as summer will be over soon.

Are the doors set further into the body, or is that just an optical illusion? The rear end looks really good.

THANKS --- The doors are in their stock location. The front fender and the quarter panel are outward.

That looks really good. I've always wanted the APR kit, but the price and the fact you have to run huge wheels and tires (which further adds to the cost) keeps it out of my reach. I like the rear a lot. Good job there.

THANKS.
I didn't buy expensive wheels. I bought 4, 18 X 10 wheels from OEWheel for $500. Bolted them on the front - done. On the rear I used long drag race style wheel studs and a 1 inch spacer. - done.
