widebody

[SilverElantra]

well as all of you know i REALLY thought about doing widebody. now that i got my new bumper in and have to lift my car to just below stock height(AG Springs) what do you guys think i should do. please use the poll and no discussions. just state ur opinion and vote, anything goes off topic at all and mods you have my permission to close the thread. i want no bull**** in this thread people.

[Pete03GLS]

wheres the poll?

EDIT: oh there it is.

its hard to say, do u have any pictures of what it may look like, any thing we can get an idea of what ur lookin for? that might help in the vote. its hard for me to say yes or no for something i cant quite imagine on an elantra.

[soccerfanatics3]

would it be like the mazda on evofusionusa.com(tuscani body kit). if so i would say hell yes

[Pete03GLS]

what? theres no wide body mazda on EF.

[soccerfanatics3]

yea there is under the 01-03 tuscani body kit. the last car is a mazda

[SilverElantra]

im serious i will have a mod close this thread very quickly without any input from anybody, not trying to be a dick just no bull****.
like this, but i have a sedan(obviously)this car was my biggest inspiration.

Now no more posting in this thread unless its about the thread.

[Pete03GLS]

do it.

[soccerfanatics3]

i think that wide on the fenders is a lil much, i like it but i think if it was done like the evo body kit it would look better but it is up 2 u

[SilverElantra]

i think its funny that both of you voted yes before hand though, anyways enough filling this thread with crap let others post thier opinions.
and yes about as wide as that, just well the noticeable differences people. tuscani bumper and kdm side skirts, all molded.

[Pete03GLS]

i didnt vote, until i saw pics.

[rusto85]

I like widebody kits. I'm pretty sure it'll look good on car, specially since it's silver ;)

[elantra_mann84]

dont even think about it and do it already lol

[04GTboySC]

ahh thats my car lol dang now your giving me ideas silver lol

id say totally do it

[Silentwolf]

Yes that blue hatch is f in sexy. Not as sure how it will look on a sedan. I think if you go widebody, you should get a raised spoiler for the back.

[seanski]

that would be f***in amazing on your car dude! do it!!!

[nadcicle]

I seen that body kit on another thread here talking about different kits to choose from and which was liked more and it had a poll as well. And i really loved that one as well. I think it would make a fine car to have a wide body kit on. I'm just afraid at all the work involved into something like that.

[jobzombi]

I think it looks hot, is there a body kit for it like that or do you have to get custom flares molded into the car by a body shop? It looks like it was molded in to the tire well, the rear doors, skirts, front and rear bumpers. If you got the money I say do it, plus if done right you can get wider wheels in the front and rear.

[SuperGLS]

I say do it. Ever since JEM's Elantra I've loved the wide body look. I don't know how well the Tiburon bumper will translate into wide body though.

[Matrixloader]

picturing your car with the front tib bumper i think its going to look sweet!, so DO IT!!

[KeWLKaT]

I personally dont like them, so I voted no. It screams rice to me.

[Munky]

I voted no because you're being a douche to people while asking their opinions at the same time. Mixed Messages FTL.

Calm down little man, dont expect everyone to reply in your topic within 2 hours...

[Ugzz]

i was thinking maybe.... but then i saw that pic of the blue elantra.. and damn, i love it.
i do mean love it too.. like wow

[knottravesty]

I'm the skinniest kid you'll ever know, and thats the one thing I think always looks good fatter lol... a ride... Do it, and then I'll pay you to do mine...

[ElantraEvo]

i think that wide on the fenders is a lil much, i like it but i think if it was done like the evo body kit it would look better but it is up 2 u

i agree. it still would look good though.

[SilverElantra]

Calm down little man, dont expect everyone to reply in your topic within 2 hours...

i was trying to get them to stop posting in the thread. they post a lot in threads for no reason...i think they got the hint. i was not rushing anyone else.

[xdforme22]

I like the idea. Its not real common (at least from what I've seen), and that blue example looks great. :D Do it.

[Gman]

I say do it. Ever since JEM's Elantra I've loved the wide body look. I don't know how well the Tiburon bumper will translate into wide body though.

yes - go for it

But Munky someone has to give you a break every once in a while. We all know you are Douche Bag Numero Uno. Don't worry im not taking that from you.


I will not be buying a kit as some may think, i am getting universal aftermarket overfenders and getting them molded to the car. not going for the bolt on look im actually gonna have everything molded.

[Munky]

Hahaha. Thanks, I needed that laugh.

For the topic on hand, I'd say go for it. That way you can be the douche that runs around EXD saying "I have a wide-body kit and you don't!"

Seriously though, It looks badass. Do it.

[SilverElantra]

alright thanks everyone. i think i am still gonna be doing it, just worried about how it will look with such a minimal drop. i think i gearing towards making the car look more "factory" but different if that makes sense.
I want it to stand out, but look clean and as though it could have came from the factory this way.

[Ugzz]

http://www.elantraxd.com/Img/evo.jpg


what is the clearance on this car. like .1 inch? daaamn

[SilverElantra]

that car is on bags though....im not getting air bags.

[Ugzz]

just get a hydraulic kit
/Done
:D

[seanski]

why not? lol ;)

[optimoprime]

[SilverElantra]

no bags or hydraulics.

[Silentwolf]

Makes perfect sense, what do you think i've been doing ;)

[SilverElantra]

its a little harder to do with what i have done/doing to my car. but ya love ur car too man. i just wanna go wider and have wider rims/tires.
if my car can have an 8"+ foot ill be happy.

[ElantraXD]

do this!

[SilverElantra]

lol ok everyone i am doing it. due to the cost the tibby bumper is going on before this gets done, but it will still happen.

[Pase]

do it that blue XD is just nasty

mouhahahaha every bodykits are rice... but widebody is not?? loooool :hand:

hey silver do it man.. it's looking really good!

[Gman]

The car I posted the pict of was JEM/Mareck's car. If I remember right he said he used flares for a first gen IS300, he had said they matched up pretty good with very little modding needed.

[bdiggy]

Hell yeah man. Love that look.

wow thanks... since the time I want to do it.. now that I know which flares he used... it'll be done on my car too.. this car is my favorite.. as you can see.... lol

[Gman]

Found a set on ebay for the cheap. They are generic flares, but look like they could be made to work.

[ItaliaTib2K3]

Hey, if you guys are going to be slapping on some universal fender flare, why not go with the M&S Carart fender flare set that they made specifically for the Tiburon? Aren't the wheel wells on the Tib and Elantra pretty similar anyway?

Those could work if the arch is close on both cars. Thanks for the link

thanks for this one man.. but he don't ship to canada.. lol and it's 90$ for shipping!! :eek: means 190$... well not that bad... but I'm still stuck to canada.. lol

I don't like the m&s kit.. I don't know why... maybe because on the pic it's not shaved.. :confused:

[SilverElantra]

im getting fender flares specific for a 4 dr. to me seems logical....

[waif69]

I like the wide body look, it makes it look tougher without going too rice.

[Whipper]

i can't wait to see it man. Its going to look awesome

[Gman]

Any flare with the same arch would work. What ever you get is going to take a ton of molding and shaping.

You had said you were going to get your bumper painted before you start these, I wouldn't. Your car is going to get a full repaint when your done with this mod so, hold off on the bumper till you get all the bodywork done. Plus to make this look right, the flares are going to have to be molded to the bumper too, not just the body.

[SilverElantra]

well i can get everything put on and just not painted in about 2 months or i can get the bumper put on and the rest later on down the road. depends on if i wanna look at my car half primered or not.

[cbogg]

well if you're thinking of going up a little, want flares, and wanna be different, you could always trim the fender under the flare and go with some monster german style dishes. the bimmers always look pretty hot that way, and you can stick a dollar bill on the lip w/o it falling off! lol

[optimoprime]

mouhahahaha every bodykits are rice... but widebody is not?? loooool :hand:


yea most bodykits are rice and if you ask me the back of the blue xd is sort of ricey because of the muffler tips. BUT the front and sides make up for it. those rolled/flared fenders are just sexy.

[SilverElantra]

im gonna do some deep dish, 17X8 or 18X8 not sure yet.

[darrelltac]

i think it looks great! do it!

[Pase]

sexy for sure I'll not say you the opposite..

[CornbreadXD]

why even post a poll? Its obvious that this has to be done. Its gonna take a while for the bodywork though and some $$$. You should repaint to car too, if you keep it silver maybe add a pearl or something to it. or maybe 2-tone on the body line gunmetal/silver silver/darker pearl silver etc. keep it classy though

im not made of money. its gonna cost enough for the widebody. possibly a 2 tone though.

[SilverElantra]

ok people start posting styles. i know i wanna go widebody, but how what? what style? round or edgy? pics please no babbling.

[CornbreadXD]

round and smooth and shave your handles mold the kit to the body mr. moneybags...(that is what its gonna cost)

[Silentwolf]

Ya, definitely no tacked on fender look/added afterwards.

[SilverElantra]

wow, PICS PEOPLE!!! no more talk about it unless you have examples. why is this so hard to understand, we have already gone over cost and ****. i have a body guy that is doing it for dirt cheap. i need examples of what i should do. PICS ONLY PLEASE!!!!!!

everything will be molded no tacking, there....no more about that.

[ItaliaTib2K3]

Rounded...like this:

http://www.italia.nt-uploader.com/MoreBodykits/Metaphor%20(13).jpg

And yes, the M&S Tiburon flares fit on XD1/2 Elantra's....

[SilverElantra]

how much?

[Jlivan]

Before I saw the pic I was leaning towards no, but now that I see the pic it looks good. I would do it!

[02grayelantra]

I think it would look great with the tib front bumper as well. I say do it!

[Silentwolf]

Silver, u had already shown the pic. The blue elantra hatch.

[SilverElantra]

thats justa form of widebody i was looking at, i want options here.

[DJ Hellfire]

Just get bigger wheels to fill the gap!

like this, but i have a sedan(obviously)this car was my biggest inspiration.

I'm with DJ. To me there is no option.

[smileymattj]

What gap, it goes directly over the stock fenders, and does not add a gap.

And its not called widebody, its called fender flares

[DJ Hellfire]

Fender flares are the parts used to give a widebody appearance. Or you could get widebody fenders and 1/4's. Eitherway, it's considered widebody.

[SilverElantra]

i could post at lest 2 different kinds of widebody/overfender options.

I really like options 1 and 4 from above, but i am not sure how wide i wanna go.

[rusto85]

Option one is my choice dude. I don't think the rounded flares would look that great on an Elantra.

[Deviant]

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u270/silverxd2/widebody3.jpg


LOL this would look ridiculous on an Elantra just to let you know, or anything really. Option one is the best, that 240 looks sexy BTW.
