If we left the vent I think it needed to be much taller but could not do that because the body of the fender space and lines.

I’m learning a lot in what is put Into this and how it’s done .

We actually got back to work today on it. Wanted to let the holidays pass.

Victor is finalizing the production renders. He is lowering the flares to fit with the curves and to give it a more predominant flare at 1.25”. The front bumper has been a little challenging. From the side view it looks great but from the front view It looks a little distorted due to the shape of the bumper. That being said it will most likely be a classic fender flare look but still aggressive if you have the right offset on the wheels. Lowering the kit off the headlights and gas tank will give it a wider look a well.

Here is a sneak peek.. Once finalized I will create a new thread for pre-orders.

Yes sir.. These are just renders so we are probably a couple months away from a production piece(s). Scans, mock ups, test fitting etc.

Agreed. I told him they would easily sell if done right and I think he nailed it on the first render. Fenders have been a challenge but we are almost there. Nothing obnoxious and over done.

It will be mounted with screws/bolts for sure. And I’d probably reinforce it some on my end. Extra hardware never hurts.

I like the original rendering of the widebody kit way better than what we see now. It's not nearly as aggressive, and looks wierd without covering the lower mouldings

The original will not be an option. And it never got any traction on Social media. We are only working with 1.25 on each side so they are gonna be subtle and follow the lines of the original moldings. I see what you are saying about the lower moldings but we are working with the oem look and lines. It would probably look more weird going all the way down over the side skirts etc unless the moldings are color match and not everyone is painting them. It won’t be for everyone. Plus renders and seeing in person are completely different. The original renders never covered the lower moldings either.

Thought I’d throw in more pictures of what we have been doing and working towards. Renders don’t show much of a flare and honestly I’ll probably drop the “wide body” off the tread. But it will be noticeable that’s for sure. You can see on the computer screen pics the difference from the stock and also me holding the ruler at 1.25”
