It sounds like you maybe oughta take this kit to the body shop and pay them to fit it. Anyone doing a widebody install should be able to handle fitting a quarter panel. No offense, just trying to save you some time and money.

I went to WEKFEST in long beach this weekend and seen some really nice cars got to talk to vendors and found a SC400 with widebody it really helps to see the final product that along with some pic's from the show and Club Lexus's very own PAcowboy helped me out he has an insane SC400 T you must look him up if your into the sc's aqnd thanks for your posts everyone wish there was a lexus club in my area I love shows getting ideas and hanging out with people that like what I like

JDM Muscle and Kohinoor have the most BadAssed wide body jobs I have ever seen. Make sure to look them up and try to find build threads or PM them. They both went in HARD on the kits.
