E92 GT2 Widebody Kit

[Bel'Ree0408]

Why has no one made a widebody kit that looks as good and seamless as the GT2 car?... Would buy thus in a heart beat smh... Or am I unaware of something lol

M24 makes a close rendition.

Problem is, people who at desperate for a wide body kit are usually somehow cheap and it always looks like shit.

Something about the GTHAUS just looks off. Both front and rear fenders don't look as good... Especially the rear it's not as rounded as the actual GT2 car... Makes a huge difference... So disappointing... And we all know vorsteiner sh*t the bed big time with their aero

It has to do with people wanting a certain look for the lowest price. You can already buy the legit GT2 setup but will spend upwards of $30k for it all. There's not enough market for this to need multiple manufacturers for it. Doing it for proper function requires major surgery to the car and isn't something that can be produced cheaply and installed to look right.

Most are more into form over function and are happy to tape and rivet on flares for a few hundred bucks and call it a racecar. From a manufacturers standpoint there's more money in that.

Yep, pretty much this. The cost of all the tooling, manufacturing, etc. is prohibitive unless you can sell tons of them...and what sort of demand is there? Next to none.

Agreed, op asked for a widebody kit and that's the only one i know of.

It's really difficult to do the widebody look without looking cheap and halfassed. I imagine a proper one would cost over 10k.

Also, those professional race cars are designed for performance and maintainability/serviceability, not aesthetics or cost. Up close, a lot of them have weird panel gaps and similar problems that would be a turn-off for a street car.

"Track-tested design"

So that means it didn't completely fall apart on the track?

This x1000. Real track cars usually look like ass up close.

Lol 50% of the parts stayed on during a lap = track tested

Where is it that you've seen the legit setup? Do you have a link?

Oh no question about it... But this kit on a clean street car imo would look amazing, I don't care much for the liberty walk and the GTHaus, they look like absolute ass... But the official GT2 I feel gives the car a supercar look without making it look like an absolute joke on the street, much like the before-mentioned options.

You could always change it to your liking. The kit is at least almost there haha...

Most widebody kits make the car look funny like attached
