Default Wide body kit

I've seen some nice body kits on this forum, but have not yet come across a wide one.
Does anyone know any companies that make wide body kits? Also, if anyone lives in the Ohio/KY/IN area, do you happen to know any shops that could build a custom kit for my xA?

i can understand purchasing simple lip kits and the such, but if you want a car that looks totally different than the one you have, why purchase it?
Now dont get me wrong, im not flaming you. Creativity is great, and i like it when people are unique, but i never grasped the concept of a widebody kit. Your adding more weight to an already underpowered car and in the event you were to have an accident or vandalism you are quite far up the creek.
Just my .02
I would def like to see this though, just could never imagine taking on the task myself.
But i dunno, hope i dont come off as a jerk, just voicing my opinion.

well its not only to be different.. its more of the originality unique.. plus.. the car is already tiny, the widebody would add "volume" look to it.
Besides, i dont think after all the parts im putting into the engine it will be underpowered to carry the wide body.

maybe what i meant was taken a little out of context...
all i was reffering to with the weight comment was that i personally wouldnt add any unecisary weight in the taste of changing the entire look of my car. But im nuts anyways, im the kinda guy that will spend an entire afternoon stripping my car of ALL the sound deadening material just to save a few pounds. Im sure there are plenty of people that think that thats stupid, just like im not a big fan of wide bodies, but to each their own. I wish you the best of luck either way. If you are simly out there to be unique and make a statement, then hell build the car to your specs. its for you and no one else. Im not here to impress anyone with my mods, all im here to do is share my ideas, and im sure your in the same boat, to better the community. so sorry if my post came out as a bash.
either way ill be watching what you find.

bfurches Hey in no way i found your comment offedning. Thats what the forum is for... state your opinion, and like you said, you put your 2 cents in.
It's just that I have already put over $12k into my car (and still need more parts), when done, making one of very few scions with that much power... Putting a regular $800 body kit on it that 100s of others have, just doesn't flow with my whole plan for the car. NOW don't get me wrong, im not just flashing cash around putting top, most expensive things in it and am just trying to show off.. If I was like that, id spend all that money on just looks and sound systems (to all of you out there, no offense).. its just that since im builing the engine, puttin so much wrench time and $$$ into it, might as well go with something more unique on the exterior..
Anyways, I think Milezauto will be able to help me out, I'll keep you guys updated.

Well you might wish to consider going the custom route with a rarer kit and making it into a widebody. Rarer kits include Rando, Tiara Garage, Noblesse, Ducks Garden, and Airwalker. The Tiara kit is more race oriented and the others are very stylish. Check out the parts section, there are pics inthere.

OK didnt find Duck's Garden.. Airwalker is allright looking.. but Tiara - is f** perfect.. Nice big opening for my big ___ intercooler and koyo radiator.. I could probably modify it a bit, maybe widen fenders and stuff.. we'll see.. i got some food for though.


Any websites where I can buy the Tiara kit?

contact Jade Motorsports, they should know, I've also heard that maybe Bulletproof Automotive can help you. It's going to be costly because they are a limited production and shipped from Japan.

Bulletproof automotice has or can get the Ducks Garden kit which I personally think it the coolest kit around. Also - when it comes to shipping, let me know as even on international stuff, I can help you out. I work for a logistics company
