Milbot8000 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I AM IN LOVE WITH THE WIDENESS!!!!!!!As far as the rear end idea. Since you are looking to accent the parts of the original shape, this might be worth checking out if you where looking at dual exaust for that V-8 of yours.[/img]http://www.2bluesc.com/pictures/Other/widebody_kit_for_GT.jpg I have another image that kinda resembles the starion rear bumper a bit, but its just taller so the car seem lower to the groud, but im not shure how to post it. I'm new here, but this looks like sumthing that is gunna rock the community. Im gunna go out on a limb here and say that your work it so freaking awesome and I personlly feel that no matter what other people think, this car when its done is gunna look off the wall cool. This is groundbreaking oringial stuff. Im loving every second of what you've done so far with the widenedbody. The front air dam idea, and even the hatch spoiler are gunna rock. You've got my 100% support b/c I kno that this is gunna turn out awesome. Now, sumone needs to get this man sum of those clear/euro tail-lights that where mentioned, so he can focus on his project. I wish I knew how to do it. I'd love to help you out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDKwhy Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hey Guys...Thanks for the support... It is very nice to hear positive comments, or even just your own ideas-I am not looking for praise, but, some creative thinking & have a little fun...I should have the front fenders ready to show, by monday- they were a BIT_H! to say the least!The rear bumper & exhaust exit are going to be intigrated with the rear defuser. Coming soon. I also should have the Lexan Headlight covers on Tuesday- so I will make the Pop Up Headlight conversion next week.I just got the Hella Optilux Halo 4" lights in and a pair of projectors. I think I am going to set it up with 1 set as the low beam, both sets on for the high beam, and let the projectors work like fog lamps?? We will see???stay tuned for more pics- next week for sure...Thanks again-IDKwhy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artinist Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 yea, our cars look good with a single big exhasut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milbot8000 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 i think with a diffrent rear bumper, dual ex. would look alot better. With the current bumper the ex just kinda hangs out with everything else, dual or not. Ive got a 2.5 exause w/ a 4 inch tip(not a can) and i still think that it seems to just kinda hang out. A diffrent rear-end could really make a diffrence sleekness of the exaust, period, dual or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! Every little bit of it! Well, maybe not the tailights, but that's because I'm about as anti-Ford as they come. This blows away any ideas I have had on Kate's car, or any SQ for that matter. If the finishing and paint turns out half as good as the fabbing is going that is gonna be the best lookin' SQ out there IMO- especially if you paint it palermo grey. Keep up the good work.

MainstreaM Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Here is a good idea for your headlights. They are for a WRX. The lights are recessed in a little bucket so cut out the bucket and the work of mounting them is done for you, plus they are "aim"able. The housing is plastic so it could easily be glassed into any form. I have a set I am going to use to modify my popups. Big plus is they are cheap. Find them here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoolinturbo Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 yes palmero grey is awesome!!Im liking that work, those front fenders widened are looking good...cant wait to see what it looks like later!jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainstreaM Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I'll check the diameter Wednesday. Got finals tommorrow. Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainstreaM Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Measured the WRX lights and they are around 3.75 inches in diameter with a measuring tape. I didn't have a set of calipers to measure with so I am guesing at 90mm. They have three long screws on the back with a spring on one for adjustment. They are real headlights not fog or driving lights and use an H7 bulb. Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainstreaM Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 The reason I am keeping popups and modifying the linkage to not open as far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 so they are the same size as the other ones... still going to stick up over the hood line. i think if we want light kits that dont stick up we are going to have to fing someone to custom make them or notch the front bumper. Hella 90mm modules fit just fine, i'm using the high beam units only.http://2.6liter.com/userfiles/JPSQC2/IMG_3351.JPG The actual OD is 105mm with the angel eyes. I thought about half popping up the headlights, but I don't like the curve in the cover, it looks goofy to me half up.. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questsi Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Damn, that's bad. I always dreamed of having a widebody with bigger flares. Nice work. To me once the G54 comes out, it's not a Starquest any more....Everyone just loves the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
