Supra wide bodykit

Just want to get your opinion, I've decided to go for a wide bodykit, looking at all these new supercars coming out, in the next 3 years supras will start to look a bit out of date. As well as I want to get some extra "presence" on the road (I also hate the "celica similarities-not many but..."). I 've always loved to death the Top secret wide bodykit but lately i've started to like the Abflug kit. Which one do you prefer? any other wide bodykits?

Costas you should go for the Top Secret.

The Abflug is too fussy..."presence"

haha do you think you and I could get more presence than we already do? Im sure GVN would do you a good deal on a wide kit fitting and respray as a show car

top secret is nice - with the bonnet. wide-boy bodykits are def the mutts, but you will have to drive so carefully thats why im not bothering with a kit - they look good but i just want a fast beast - nevermind if it looks pretty or not!!!

Why not get the Chargespeed one that hardley anyone has yet and get GVN to have a play with it to make it less squareish. I one off widebody would go down very nicely

There's a company in USA called Modellista Designs that are creating a new wide kit for the Supra - have a pic but don't know how to post it up - apparently they'll be doing a carbon fibre version. Google image search for Modellista Designs Supra or similar and you should stumble across it.

Also, www.brs-autodesign.com have two wide kits for Supras. One is still in the making, the other is a crazy JGTC style one. Check out the site - the wild one's on their opening page in pink.

Hope that helps - probably just makes the decision more difficult!!!

Nice set of wheels on a stock body rules imo.. widearch kits just make the car look overweight overfenders can look nice with the right wheels
