No, I believe they're wide rear fenders as well. The T&E website show the reg. kit and this one. All the Ridge kits are widebody including rear fenders.

correction, those cars in the pic's look very ricer, My taste, would be to use the fenders, keeping it wide but classy, some wider then hell rear tires, kinda giving it a Porsche or Dinnan stance.

But no crazy "wings" or "vents" or meaningless "scoops"....

And the FTW!!! was just to get into O.L.T.s crawl

If its not performance and it has no purpose other then to look good....its rice...
You can fit wider wheels under wider 'flared' fenders.

wider wheels = better grip.
better grip = higher skid pad.


Like I pointed out with the examples of 911 Porsche's and Dinnan tuned Bimmers.

something tells me a very large number of SC's with wide body kits arent exactly pushing the same kinda of power as a dodge viper or a GT2
You're right....SC's will never produce any kind of power like a 500hp viper or 500hpGT2, or Ferrari, or a M3, or M5, what was I thinking.

Obviously, we shouldn't even bother trying to make our cars faster or handle better.

Lets close down this web site and save us all the trouble.

Nevers a very strong word...

"Satirists gain the applause of others through fear, not through love."

Can you not love me ?!?
What does this have to do with wide fenders and fast cars?

You should search around this site for a bit....there are a more than a few 500hp plus cars, that will eat a Viper.

Why am I even arguing with you.....going back to work now.

seems like you two are having fun. the brown Soarer actually has a very agressive offset on the wheels and a good bit of power. not 500, but not bad.... allow me to share...

I was gonna buy that Runner a couple years ago...glad I passed on it. Takes away from the cars 'lines' too much in my opinion.


Maybe if it were toned down a bit......

Wing...on the SC unless its a OEM one= rice
Body kit = useless weight and bogging aerodynamics = rice
Wheels larger than 20 inches or flats...= ghetto
Multi colored tint = ghetto
Big stickers and you have no racing sponsor = rice
Big Vertex Stickers regardless = rice
widebody kit to hide your ghetto wheel adaptors in attempts to keep your car from looking like a mexican low rider = priceless


Just because you spent a lot of money on something doesnt give it purpose, except to yourself, which is fine by me, do what you like (really) but be ready to be laughed at by someone out there
Wings have purpose. F1, JGTC, and roadrace purpose cars are rice? Aero kits are rice?

I agree on you with the wheels, tint, and stickers.

But you should stop barking before you actually know how aerodynamics work on a car.
