Here are the first pictures of the Wide Body Touring Kit for the tC in all Carbon Fiber. I installed it myself over the weekend and will be making some adjustments to it very soon to get all of the pieces to really fit flush and look perfect. So far it looks good though and I am happy with the initial fitment, even though there are some gaps and some more work is definetly needed. Up next: Wheels and Suspension. Let me know what you guys think so far.

Hope I did this right, I have 22 pics of the kit total, contact me to see more pics.

 

Wow, definately need some 20s to fill in those wheel wells.

 

yeah its really hot... with the widebody the bigger wheels will really improve the look and when its lowered its gonna be a really nice/clean ride.... cant wait to see it all together... jsut be gentle i havent had a carbon fiber body kit before but ive heard they are a little stronger then fiberglass ones... but all in all its great....

 

well i like it, but i'm not a fan of carbon fiber kits

if it breaks, cracks, chips, scratches, your screwed.

Dont even lower it. put 20's on it and leave it like that.

If you lower it, you migh regret it when you scrape over
every single speed bump, and uneven surfaces

 

how did you install the fender flares? i think i can see the rivets.

 

Yah what she daid

 

I had to use some black screws for now (ghetto style I know), but I will be replacing them soon. I have to shave down the fenders to get a couple of them to fit flush anyway.

 

paint that ____ and throw some huge rims with a huge offset

 

Looking real good Ray...

 

hey ray ray ;) looks nice buddy... keep me posted... u know we gotta get that show team on its way... just waitin for u!! When ya comin to visit us down here? ok well i wanna see the rest of the pics.. talk to ya online

 

Nice!!

I was the prototype car for that kit. Mine is at paint right now. But here is an initial pic.

 

hell yeah I saw your car at SEMA and thats what made me buy the damn thing, lol.
I heard they dont want to make anymore kits now cause its too expensive and too much trouble to get one right. But we'll see. Money talks, ya know? So what color is the car gonna be now? And how much trouble did you guys have puttin the kit on cause I did it myself over 2 days and it was a tough one in a few places, still have to make some adjustments. Let me know, thanks.

 

WES::: PM ME WITH THE INFO..... RAY, MY POPS INSTALLED THE KIT FOR HOTCHKIS... HE WAS THERE FOR QUITE A FEW HOURS... I GIVE YA PROPS ON DOIN IT YOURSELF ;)

 

thanks!

Yeah I spent SEVERAL hours working on it and I still have a few more hours to put in to get it just right. I might have to hit up your pops for a few pointers!

 

Great job ya'll.

 

looks good except for the mesh grill...

 

It is still going to be black. As Gina said her dad was here the day before we left for SEMA installing it. It was a crazy thrash. My wheels came in the 2 days before we left and they where WRONG!!. That is why they look like that. I had adapters made in a day. It was a lot of fun

I will post pics when it is finished.

 

lookin hella good but you HAVE TO DROP THE CAR and get bigger rims hahah


i wonder how it looks if the car is white like mine :D

 

how much does it weigh?

 

Yeah I want to get rid of some of the mesh, I am going to try and put the stock grill on the top part back in place, but it will take some work cause there is really no where to mount it on the new bumper. Also I hope to go turbo soon so an intercooler will go in to fill up the mouth. The kit doesnt weigh much at all, the pieces are not that thick and pretty light (which is good and bad). Keep in mind though that the stock sides and bumpers are very light too, being made of ABS they were much lighter when I took them off then I thought they were gonna be.


I'll be doing the measurements for my wheels soon, if I lower the car it wont be much, and for daily driving I have a FRP version of the same bumper coming that I will put on, so the CF doesnt get messed up. Thanks for all the responses guys!
