Default Blitz Widebody

Have you ever seen the blitz widebody? How many other widebody kits are there available?



Thanks in advance,
Jimmy

When your friends shop open, can I be his buddy? LoL

I think he is refering to the metallic grey SC with the widebody and blitz supra front bumper. If so, that is not a blitz widebody, it is a custom one done at a shop.

If Vertex is going to copy the widebody, you will still need lots of money for install (more than the kit itself) and the quality had better be an EXACT.

IMO. The custom kit is a mess. It looks O.K. up front but the rear is . You're not alone Overclocker, I can't see the pic also.
There is a company located in Golden, CO. that does some of the best widebody work I've ever seen (mainly, but not limited to BMWs). They make their kits out of sheet metal and repaint the entire car, I think the cost is 15-18k, somewhere around that price range.

my buddy is hoping to open the shop in w/in a couple of months. He will be the main distributer for vertex in N. Amerca. However, his shop will mainly fix up cars and then sell them. He did the rx-7 in fast and furious. i'll keep you guys posted, cause i'm sure he'd love the business. the runner widebody kit runs around 3500 instead of 6000 and currently i'm working with someone to try and get it from japan and shipped in a crate w/ my friends company.
