from my understanding if you have to ask a forum on where to source a very laborious and expensive kit then you are more than likely havent researched anything on how laborious and expensive a rocket bunny kit is.

Maybe it's just me, but the car in those photos is F-U-G-L-Y.

How do you open the gas door on that car? Is that a Photoshop?

The TL already has flared fenders from the factory. I believe the main reason you aren't going to find a mass produced wide body kit is due to the fact there is not enough demand. The TL can fit fairly wide wheels with a little amount of camber. You can easily get 9.5's with a couple degrees of negative camber.

I love the stock body of the TL, it's why I bought the car and it's why I'll buy another one with a 6 speed, but to each their own.

Good eye on the gas cap!
another interesting thing to note; the instagram name was a user that used to frequent acurazine.

You don't. Fill up first, then good for ~450 miles

I never seent it before.

Is that real Rockey Bunnet for the TL? I didn't know they made FWD bubbey. I thought just for racecars like the Miata and GTR.

Pretty cool
OP you should definitely do it. I think rocket bummy has a website or something, that's probably where you can get it.
