first you need to take the stock iroc ground effects off....and then its just like a bolt on application from what i remember...although you may have to get a body shop to use some bondo or something....call them and ask them...theyll tell you everything you need to know...

your also goin to have to remove the metal 1/4 panels and glass on the fiberglass ones. since everything kinda molds together and look like one piece fender to 1/4 panel. also Get sfc or you will be crackin the rocker panels. guy i know did the kit and he kept on crackin the rocker panels till he got the sfc and no more but theres alot involved in the kit.

from one guy that told me how he had a widebody kit put on his 84 z28. they removed the 1/4 panels and glassed on the new widebody panels. the fenders get removed and get replaced with the ones from the widebody kit and then everything from the fender back gets fiber glassed. so from the fender to the rocker panel to the back of the 1/4 panel its all glassed together.

i was mobbing aroudn shopping on sunday and i saw a white berlinetta with the kit on it............
All i have to say is, why dont i keep my camera with me? Literally, imo.........its UGLY. The problem is.......its only fender flares......if the WHOLE body was widened it would be sweet.....but as it is...it looks funny with these gigantic fender flares.......especilly the rear.....

I feel there is only one reason to ever have wide body: to allow massive wheel sizes for the front and more specifically the rear without having to tub or beat the hell out of the inner fenders to prevent the wide tire combo from rubbing. Personally I think with the body lines of 3rdgens, they don't make great candidates for widebodies asthetically.
