i dont know but i have mixed thoguhts about that 240sx wide body kit... looks nice in a way but looks like the 240sx is gay.. you know looks like a body kit that a girl would want... but its different.. i would never get it unless i got it real cheap and had another 240 just to have it different.. the fc kit is pretty nice makes it look exotic and the quarter panal resembles the 93 and up rx7's ohh yeah the 240 does look like a miata

It's crap.
In order to fill those wheel wells you'd need to run 8" spacers or 14" wide wheels - both of which will cause undue stress on your wheel bearings and lead to failure.
Not to mention that tires on 14" wide wheels will cost more than this silly pile of plastic and will add enough rolling resistance that you will need another 100hp just to make your car perform as it does now.
I'm also assuming the weight added will not make the car any faster.
To the styling - it's bland. No character lines, the rear looks like someone inflated the back end of an old 928 and glued ferrari lights on it. For a kit this extreme on the sides, the rear looks anything but exotic.
I like the sides. I really do like the look - reminds me of a GT racing porsche. Unfortunately this kit is far from stunning from every other angle. It would have looked better if he just expanded on the 240's lines insted of melting them away into this almost shape.
