Not feeling the widebody kit, it doesn't flow with the rest of the car, it looks like a cheap body kit slapped on a nice car.

Your last statement must have been a typo, it should read - This was a sick car

wonder if buying a murcielago would've been close to the same $ with all that work. if so if not it's what the gallardo should have looked like from the factory. minus the seams.

add on panels does not equal wide body IMO

I dunno, if you are able to fit wider wheels under the added panels then why cant it be called a widebody?

the body is wider...so are the wheels. why wouldn't it be a wide body?

ive never seen this done to an exotic before. only 350z's etc. seems like you shouldnt have to make a 170k dollar exotic sports car wider. guess the gallardo is pretty narrow.

anyone know how the stock width of the 430 compares to gayardo stock?

i still dont understand why it's a wannabe. if they glassed up the seams would it then be a 'true' widebody?

lol forgot to reply to this... not h8ing on the Gallardo, it's bad ass. just not a true widebody..

a "true" widebody has entire body panels replaced - at least the front fenders or rear quarter panels, if not both. A "true" widebody has both front and rear panels replaced. Sticking on body-cladding is not widebody.

a few examples:



it doesn't have to be crazy:


it doesn't necessarily mean it will look good - although I think this is probably bondo'ed, smoothed, and painted cladding... i.e. not wide-body.


loook at these curves




and finally, my fav widebody:


THIS is widebody...
