Body: Other Wide Body kits

There's a couple other non-ZG style wide body kits available, but I think their all too aggressive for our needs.

The IMSA-GTU Wide Body



Molded in fender flares combined with a molded in wing and a variation of the G-Nose. Accommodates 11-14 inch wide wheels. This is a serious race quality kit that improves handling through ACTUAL aerodynamic tweaks. Very rare and hard to install. Requires a lot of tweaking to get right because if any of the panels are not aligned correctly the handling will be ruined.

The Arita Speed Wide Body


Kind of like a way more aggressive ZG flare, again with the G-Nose. Very similar in function to the IMSA kit. Also can be done without the G-Nose, but without the G-Nose your losing your main aero advantage.

We're not using either of these mostly due to cost and availability. Also, we don't need to be that wide. Regular ZG flares with cut wheel arches will allow us to run a 9 or 9.5 inch wheel all around with 255/4017's. More enough contact patch for 300-400hp. Any wider wheel or tire and we start talking supercar sizes and those are big money.

  1. That middle one is Arita Speed, the top (white) and bottom (black) are actually the NISMO Works fenders. Just a heads up ;)
