First of all, the picture you uploaded needs some resizing! CL rules...

Second, the body kit is NOT a wide body kit....They are just separate fenders that may seem to look like it but it really isn't...I have seen the fenders in person, they fit well and is made out of fiberglass..

Its a great looking kit IMO..

The fenders on the white car def. dont look like the Artisan Spirits fenders, they are close but to me they look like a knock off.And the paint match on that white car is awful

I forgot to mention, he didn't paint them yet and he fitted them himself...He got them because some reckless lady hit him in the fender..

I'm sure he got them fitted right and painted them by now...

I am sorry but what your friend got doesn't look at all like the Artisan Spirit's fenders. The honeycomb grill's design is different and the lower indentation has a different shape.

And yeah, it doesn't look like it's painted yet. But sure is different!

It's spelled "heinous".

And English is not my first language, and you are right about it being heinous.
