Exclamation My convertible converts to widebody!

Well, it's been a while now since I drove something at least half way modded since my last car... '97 4dr 318i. Now I have had my '94 325ic for several months and it's time to get cracking! I ordered a bunch of stuff, including the 8 piece Zeemax Widebody kit... I'll keep you guys up to date on the transformation!

It always seems that some mountain dew product happens to make its way into pictures nowadays. What's goin on with this? Anyone else notice? Car should look good!

You know that zeemax makes a kit for convertables right dude?
Anyways, did you purchase that from a member of the boards? If so that is a zeemax "style" kit, keep us updated on the progress and for god's sake, don't leave that fragile fiberglass on the concrete like that ever again!!!

There was someone on the other forums with that same kit forsale for a while . I think real Zeemax has a green tint in the fiberglass resin ?

I just hope you don't have alot of trouble installing that kit on a vert as the rear quarters are much shorter.

Ive gotten zeemax stuff straight from the source. Pain in the ass though. Shipping and VAT cost as much as the pieces. Stuff was cracked too.

I purchased the kit from a company in california. They said it was real Zeemax, however I have my suspicions. But regardless... so far, the kit is actually fitting very nicely! Front fenders were suppose to be fender-replacements, but I decided to cut and mold.... felt better with the integrity of metal rather than fiberglass. Here are more pics of the progress... These are pics BEFORE the molding part... had to make sure pieces line up perfect before we make them permanent...

Hacking away the fenders...












Everything is almost fitted... next will be molding the pieces to the car...
