Its not my thing, body kits have never been but the guy obviously put the work involved into it to make it look nice so I give him props. At least he didnt half ass it.

IMO, I think it looks dumb because of the wheels. Get something wider with a good offset that will actually fit the widebody.
So I wasn't the only one that thought that. The wheels on it now look WAY too small. If it had wheels that fit the lines of the car, regular Eclipse taillights, and no wing I'd say it would be an incredible widebody. For now, I just have to appreciate the work that went into making it.

Looks well done for a body kit. With wider tires, brembos, rear diffuser etc. I hope he is doing at least a little bit of road racing.
Why in world would you road race a car like this? This is not a race car, it is built to be a show car. Even though, I personally think it is ugly

Wide bodied that look like this are frequently used in DTM (Dutch Touring Masters) and the JGTC (Japanese Grand Touring Car) chamipionships. Everytime I see a widebody show car that all it reminds me of. I actually don't see the point of wide bodies in these series, as all it does is create fragile body work that frequently get ripped off when they bang each other.

Yea the tails really killed it, but nice car all together.

Nicely done, although I'm not a fan of wide kits unless you can mold the front bumper to make the lines flow better. +1 on wider tires. you should of got the stock 2gb wing and if you must need different tail lights I would of went with nissan skyline ones. Just my 2 cents. Does look very nice, not my taste, minus the color.

I think that is one of the cleanest widebody kits I have seen. Most Supra taillight conversions look out of place but I think this one looks well done. Definitely a different look I like it. I would just be really scared of theft though.

Wider rims, swapping the airplane wing with something smaller, and losing the tailights would make it better.

Overall I like it, I think 2G DSM's with a kit look a helluva lot better than civics, neons, etc. with a body kit.

Any engine mods?

I think it looks very nice, professionally done. Is the front bumper a body kit, or a 2gb bumper that was modified? It has the diamond star on it. I can live with the tails, but I would much rather see a deck spoiler than a wing. Or even the high rise as others have said. And that paint is killer.
