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.

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...
