** Widebody in Progress **
Recently I was contracted to design a widebody for the RX-8 using carbon fiber and fiberglass. A reputable Japanese company with extensive experience in high quality carbon fiber products will be doing the construction. Most likely they will be reproducing additional replicas for the public market. I will be doing the computer drafting and or physical pencil and paper drawings to give to the company. Right now I have a few ideas and would like to ask the people most prone to buying a carbon fiber kit!
What would you like to see, what widebody kits do you like? Post pics!

Let's see your drawings, do you mean flaring out the back fenders like the old M kit for the BMW Z3? If done right it will certainly make the rx-8 look even meaner.

yes I have a few ideas, mainly I want the kit to provide functionality and look sporty. Similar to JGTC styling but keeping with the existing lines of the fenders.

Rear wide body kit looks all right , hard to tell the lines with all the colourfull advertising .
The front wide body kit is f...ugly sorry .
I personally would like to see a wider body kit on the rear of the rx8 only .
