The TEIN widebody is a one-off.

Did any of you actually see the car when it was being made? They had posters of the 5-Axis car because they copied the exact same kit...that's what the shop was TOLD to do...then they just modified little things like the air inlets, etc...

It's a nice car but I wouldn't trust the shop that did the work...they wanted to charge around $8k for my widebody and this was with a hookup price were as I went to one of the most reccomended places in SoCal as a total stranger and got quoted for $7k.

The body shop that did the TEIN car used the 5axis car as REFERENCE. If they were copying the 5Axis car, then how come the TEIN car doesn't look like the 5axis car?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't copy mean, to look the same as?

How can they not match the paint w/ the car there? That's wrong. I would have told them to repaint it before I paid in full!
