Ok, I was recently turned on to these guys, and this kit just became available

http://945garage.bigcartel.com/produ...to-wide-panels

Anyone have experience with them though?

I am talking with him via email and may snag one......

I've got a Duraflex V Speed front bumper, and Cyber skirts and rear bumper....
This would compliment ....
Everything would be customized and molded in

Hard to make a decision... but I'm between this, and the Serial 9 kit....

Thoughts?

You sir have excellent taste, I would buy that in 2 seconds if I had the dough.

If you do get this I would love to see your car with all panels installed

I like the look of the Hero kit, but it looks like fitment would be better with the Serial 9....
So I'm on the fence... if I'm not mistaken they are the same $

Once the Serial 9 is molded in the rear would be nice and clean.... and of course the front is a total fender replacement, so that would be clean as well

The Hero kit looks like a lot more fitment work.....

Ugh... decisions decisions

I personally think the serialnine kit is too extreme, I like the hero kit for keeping the gs lines while adding a sort of BMW-esqe fender.

Just my opinion.

TableSyrup

My bumpers and skirts are extreme too....

I'm going sorta all out street/drift....

So the Serial 9 kinda goes with it, but I don't like it just riveted/bolted/taped on, I would mold it in...
Molded in, the rear section would not stand out as much, it would just be more wide body...

I agree, it is loud though... but I do like it, and it's growing on me more and more

First two images would be Serial 9....
Second two would be Heroish (only with less flare... the image is essentially lipped)

I was gonna post this link also to see what you guys think, serialnine also have something similar but I don’t like the rear bulk from the serialnine kit.
Im just going to customize mine to my wheel specs, but I did purchase the serialnine trunk.

serial nine keeps the body lines, that would be my choice

serial nine kit would be my choice... I think you would have less fitment issues with the Serial Nine kit...

I know the owner personally, he does awesome work! The fenders look amazing in person.

I live in Virginia which is where these guys are based out of we have some shows/gatherings going on this summer so I'm sure I will see in person and will be able to give a honest opinion on how it looks in person.

Problem is, I don't only wanna see final product.... more importantly, I wanna see it fit in it's raw form, so I know what fitment and finish work I would need to do (anything can be fit, modded, and made to look good, it's all a matter of how much work is needed to do it)

A couple things I could see that are issues for me with the Heros kit, are as follows:

Top of the front fender overlay sits above the fender, thereby making the fender taller than the hood unless you were to cut ut down lower and blend to mold it in.

Front of front fender around headlight, curve looks great, but with the edge right there it's gonna be thicker at the headlight.

Same goes at door edges...... can't really see what's going on at the wheel well opening.

Rear fender overlay issues I see are the trim locations at the taillight.... it should either all be close to the light, or all spaced away..... and again, what about the top edge at the trunk? I imagine same deal as the front, where the quarter would be taller than the trunk lid unless cut back and blended......

As far as the front edge of the quarter overlay, I'm wondering if it returns to the jamb/quarter for a clean look? Or does it just float?

Same with the door skin, does it return or just float?
And is it a replacement skin? Or an overlay?

So many unanswered questions.

I'd be in to test it out for a few hundred..... but not comfortable being an early adopter at full price which is the same as S9, when I can tell clearly S9 would be much easier fitment.

It's a shame... I wish there was much more detail and info available......
I feel like if I were to buy it, I don't know what I'm getting.... he has not made the purchase decision easy for me.

I don't doubt the quality of his work ... I'm sure his finish is great (saw a pick of one of his molds.... he's doing it right).... but wish he showed lots more details of the fit

Saw this on FB a while back. Fitment looks like a TON of work, everything is an overlay. Why overlay fiberglass duck bill fenders when you can make them from steel, or better yet just don't duck lip flare your fenders...Rear quarter overlay mounts onto the rear bumper as well? How does that work when you wanna remove the bumper?

I'd take Serial Nine over this kit any day, except for the fact their fronts make the fender and lower cap into 1-piece, which means some side skirts are no longer useable ( Junction Produce, Vertex for example)... Everyone has their preference, but to me just because it's new and "exciting" doesn't mean I want it lol.

Interesting kit. I like that the flares essentially cover the stock flares - I've seen other guys do this type of widebody and it looks like a 'flare on flare' over the stock GS fenders (the stock GS fenders remind me of subtle Porsche 944 flares).

Too bad they don't mention anything about how much clearance for wheels you gain. I mean, I have 20x10.0 & 20x12.0 under my narrow-body GS (pulled front fenders). Are guys buying custom wheels with this kit, or using wheel spacers?

Would like to see a kit installed, painted, and finished..

I hit him up on your thoughts, he doesnt get on CL much.
