Is a wide body kit a good look?

[Otakuphill]

I have a 1990 Festy and i plant to do bodywork and paint it soon. my friend is a master fabricator and says he can do a wide body kit cheap. Should i get it and how would it look?

Almost looks like my first Festiva R.I.P

Anyway, you could make it look like a showgun if you have time/money/skill.

Otherwise, refer to this to get an idea: http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ight=wide+body

a wide body kit to me only looks good if the wheels come out to the fenders I.E. the shoguns had wide rear fenders but the wheels filled it in so it looks awesome

if its done right/tastefully and has the right wheels to match then yes

I don't care for widebodies. A festiva looks good with wide tires and maybe some nice fender flares, and lowered. But putting ultra wide rims, and shogun styling on a car with a 1.3 liter motor would be silly to me. To each his/her own though.

then go by this moto: motor before beauty

Still saving to do the swap right the first time. The money a time just presented itself for doing the body.

define "master fabricator"... what are his credentials?

[solatare]

uhm, if you have the cash for a widebody, im guessing 500 to 700 odd us dollars, enough for a b6 sohc, halfway to a b6d or a b6t if you dig enough, wouldnt it be better to keep saving? with wise rim and tire choice, you wont need a widebody kit to put it to the ground.
also, the festiva body is not rigid, why not look at fixing that issue? a few well placed gussets and doublers will help with wheel hop and stability thru corners.
