Widebody HKS Altezza
Pardon the mass upload of images, but Ive been working on this quite some time. I just had no internet so I didnt get to upload regularly.
The rims I've used are Team Atlas 2.5W gunmetal. On top, the altezza has a stock fender height. Below, its been trimmed a LOT. here, I'm comparing the altezza stock and the custom. and here im making sideskirts. and here's a mockup spoiler.

looks good so far, putting body kit aside. why did you decide to trim the body rather than going with a different offset on the wheels and doing new clips to slam it down? just curious

@ kevin,
thanks haha. Nsx spoiler with some nicely shaped mounts did the trick :P. @blue, I actually did get a different offset, 2.5W all around. This would guarantee me the same width all around (obviously). But in terms of height, I compared a stock altezza to the Time-Attack HKS one, and noticed how theres a significant height adjustment. If you've noticed with JGTC cars, typically they'd cut the top half of the car and custom fabricate the lower half. even the wheel wells reach higher than the engine height. I did also make a new front clip and reglued side clips to keep it mounted. Here's what I mean - you can see the ride height is pretty crazy.

another update!
the rear fenders are starting to take shape and some putty on the front fenders (still curing) this last picture shows the amount of wheel space. its hard to find right dimensions for the wheel wells without extending the front half of the car (reason being is that for the right well, when the car turns left, the right wheel rubs the headlight housing, and vice versa with the other side [and ive shaved almost to the point where the housing will be cut. if i have to, i will cut it]) cnc welcome!

haha thanks man, i was lucky enough to snag the beater white body, and for a great deal too. but i might have to let go of the lesser of the two gloss-coated ones for something else (its sort of a burden)
