What do you mean by widebody?
The 15+ models are already considered a widebody as they were actually widedned by the factory vs. the previous models.

It's a horrible idea.

I don't fully understand the idea, but can already tell you it's horrible.

Is this an actual wide body? One where the wheelbase is widened with the proper arms and suspension mods, or is this fender flares by Rubbermaid?

So many people dislike it but to be honest your the one that pays the bill on that car. Your taste are different than mine. The way i see it, you can put anything you want on your car as long as it looks pleasant. If you install a widebody kit that is not installed properly and looks janky then i'll say "keep moving forward" but if you install widebody and it looks well done plus some nice wheels, etc. Then that will be a bad ass ride!

I want a widebody but my pockets are too small for the price. Send us pics of your car!

The term wide body is not used properly. What this person was referring to is fender flares. They are completely pointless, damage the body panels, and serve no function beside allowing typically unsafe wheel and tire combos.

Guys his talking bout a wide body kit I seen a couple on the web. I think it's a good idea if you going for the look, it give out just a little bit of torque tho. If you want yours to look way better than everyone else's then go for it

I have yet to see an actual wide body kit besides what's offered factory.

I've seen armies of fender flares. That is not a wide body. That's bodywork by Rubbermaid.

Yes and they rivet into the body work causing the panel beneath to rust. It's a terrible choice.
