wide body?

I am trying to find the best way to widen my rear finders. Is there finder flares?

Search noob, panspeed makes rear fender flares, or you can pull the fenders. How much wider do you really need.

Panspeed is the only off the shelf fender specifically made for the contours of the 8, there are several universal which could be adapted.
Also to bose' point the Panspeeds are only 10mm wider on each side, IIRC, although some of the pictures suggest that they have an in house version that appears much wider, maybe 20mm or more.

Mazdatrix has a set as well but they are designed to go with their bumper. Not sure if they would work with the OE bumper.

Unless you're making some serious power needing larger tires, why ruin the car with a widebody? Don't turn the 8 into something it's not.

Just like the wider look. Also I'm found a ls2 swap n putting deep dished wheels. I am building a drift car and going to show it as well.
