Default Widebody kits...

What do you think of this widebody kit? Courtesy of S2KI.com .



Does anyone know of other widebody kits available?

I wish instead of wide body they just shot the fender out a few inches. The widebody kits that don't replace the doors look tacky, imo.

Are their any other companies that offer widebody kits for the S? I know Veilside offers an add-on fender flare but I'm looking for something more. Hopefully to house larger tires.

you can squeeze 10.5"ers in the back if you need to. are you looking for even more than that? heck, I'd only recommend up to 10" in the rear, and even that makes me worry about the diff.

Ya, I can understand widebody on a Civic, but the S2k can house some pretty massive rubber. Like Mr. Bagel mentioned, if you slap some 285 r compounds on the back the clutch and tires might hold together better than that diff. I ran on 245 V700's and I could launch at 7500 with no slip, as well as floor it around turns with no slippage in the rear. Wider is better, but I think there's other places to put your money on an S.
