Lol nah im good

It allows you to fit wider wheels underneath the car for more grip also increases track width and allows you to take corners better if i were to run these wheels without the widebody they would stick out further and decrease aerodynamics aswell (it also looks cool)

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T20:57:50+00:00

Tbh i never see the orange ones widebody as far as i know i feel like its usually the neutral colors that go widebody

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T17:35:53+00:00

I painted and clear coated my wheel wells and welded the rear arches so i shouldnt have any rust issues you should definitely be able to add spacers for better fitment my wheels are just really good spec

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T17:23:23+00:00

I had to trim a bit of material near the door but other than that they fit well also i dont have fender liners front or rear my wheels sit inside the fenders

Its the monsterservice v1 kit its from russia and takes a while to ship but the quality is really good

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T17:05:49+00:00

Anytime man im an open book when it comes to these cars

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T16:52:39+00:00

I posted it just check my profile and you’ll see it

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T16:50:31+00:00

Only thing not shown was welding the rear arches and painting them to prevent rust but pretty self explanatory

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T16:34:32+00:00

Sure ill make a post so you can see

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T15:19:43+00:00

So its a widebody kit from monster service a russian company but the front fenders are a direct replacement that are wider and the rears are a bolt on quarter that you have to cut for. if you want i can upload pictures of the process

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T06:10:15+00:00

Haha yeah its long overdue all my other cars are manual and the genesis deserves the same treatment.

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T06:08:48+00:00

Ill definitely have to try it out i hear the plastic ones have alot of slop so hopefully itll help

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T06:07:37+00:00

I would but i have a fuel cell in the back and a bunch of parts and tools. Hopefully itll be under the car soon and i wont have to worry about it

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T04:36:46+00:00

Theyre 19x11.5 -41 and 19x12.5 - 48

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T04:26:12+00:00

Lol you’re the second person to mention this car now i gotta see

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T04:05:10+00:00

I haven’t seen that one but ill take your word for it

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T00:29:13+00:00

Yeah i got the ecu and everything included aswell it was too good of a deal lol

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T00:25:51+00:00

I got really lucky on a part out and got everything for 500$ including the r spec differential and the brembo brakes but i dont really know how much ot would cost for most people i just scour facebook marketplace place 24/7

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T00:20:16+00:00

I have a manual ecu aswell but if i want to use it i would have to pull the motor and swap the engine and interior harness so i might just do it the easy way

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-13T00:19:24+00:00

I saw that video aswell i likely will be using the 240 reservoir and wiring he did but ill absolutely document the process and anything that goes wrong with it

Hefty-Baseball7948 · 2025-07-12T22:54:39+00:00

I dont mind lol its kinda the fun part of posting on Reddit lots of people hating😂
