should i do widebody
Friday, January 05, 2007 2:51 PM
i have a question and its bugging me because i really cant decide on what to do, so you guys be the judges. here is a pic of my car enclosed below and was wondering if i should do the widebody panels like i have pictured below. the thing is if i do it then i will fiberglass it to follow the lines of the body and bring the panel up farther instead of having it end so ubruptly like it does and have it round off and be smooth at the top of the fenders and quarter panel, like have it blend at the top into the seams between bodyparts

my car with the skirts im getting photoshopped on



here is a pic of the widebody panels




you guys be the judge

I say no to the widebody. I really don't think it will flow.

well...if u do decide to widebody, good luck getting the glass to mold to the urethane. it can be done but its tough as hell.

unless u werent gonna mold anything but the widebody, but that would look wierd IMO

i love how it looks just like the pic shown above!!

keep it...widebody 'll be too much of a hassle for ur bumpers dude...

i'm doin the avenger sides right now and it take a lot of work...

stick w/ those sides and you're good..plus a sidebody woudlnt' flow w/ those sides cuz the widebody fenders would be wider then the side skirts of your car~

no
your car looks great without it
wouldn't flow with the kit anyway...
or mold easily to urethane-- if u wanted to mold it to your bumper
&why screw with a great-looking car to begin with-- molding, fiberglassing, sanding-- it's all a major pita

i like the sides.... as i really don't like avenger sides
hope they line up as well as they do in the picture though

as you can see here there are many different types of 18 axis reverb wheels tell which one is yours or which one wiil fit in my 04 cavy sedan with your tires

here it is :

your axis wheels are black or anthracite

i think my04 cavy has a 5*100 bolt pattern so i have 2 options
RV8855C35BK 18 8.5 35 5-100
RV8755C42BK 18 7.5 42 5-100


now tell me which one is the one you have, or which one should i use so it fits with 225/40/r18 y-rated hankook k-106

chek here are these the tires you have or not?
your tires
i woudl really appreciate if you could tell me since i saw this wheels on your car i fell in love thwy look so good

i usually dont like giving out info on the wheels, cuz there are only like 5 jbodies with them, i believe me being the first 2 years ago. i like being one of the only ones with them, but i have the 18x7.5 +42mm offset 5x100 bolt pattern. i know people still advertise them, but from what i heard they dont make the bolt pattern anymore, so idk



Re: should i do widebody
Saturday, January 06, 2007 9:06 AM
oh yea, what color is your car? if its not like black or yellow i dont think the gloss black reverbs would look too good. alo im not real sure on a 03-05 sedan, idk, just my opinion in trying to talk you into a diffferent wheel, lol



Re: should i do widebody

why not let other people find out about the wheels and maybe buyt them for their car, is not like your own the company axis just because you sported them first on a cavalier, we all have the right to use them if we want to, dont be like that
well thank you for telling exactly what the wheels are i can buy them now for my car, if you want to say the websites where you bought your wheels and tires, that would be very nice of you but if not no problem i can find them on the internet very easlily just like you saw me posting link to your wheels and tires, i know where to get them i just wanted to know what was the offset and bolt pattern
and yes my car is orange metallic but im also planning to get the evo cf hood and the drift kit i think it would look good thats my opinino and thats all that matters becuase at the end is my car and not yours


Re: should i do widebody

got my wheels from gravana and the tired i got from a good friend who owns a shop locally.
the only objection i have to giving out info on the wheels is because i dont want them played out like alot of other cavalier accessories and parts. i like having at least one thing unique about my car if u know what i mean




Re: should i do widebody
Saturday, January 06, 2007 12:33 PM
I totally understand what your talking about bonnett but any smart modder would know or be able to find out offsets and bolt patterns that will fit our cars.

lol dont want the next konig unknowns? dear lord i hate those wheels



Re: should i do widebody
Saturday, January 06, 2007 12:56 PM
haha, oh well @!#$ happens i guess. i heard that they stopped making the reverbs in 5x100 bolt pattern, so i think their just selling remaining stock now. i hope thats the case, lol



Re: should i do widebody
Saturday, January 06, 2007 6:20 PM
nope cause i sent an email to the axis company and they r still making that pattern and also emailed the a webpage taht sells this wheel and the info is correct it is 5*100 pattern ,your just saying so i dont buy them
i will get those wheels you can bet on that
hahahahaha
and after taht i will make car look very very similar to your they r gonna be like twins, too bad that there are not win west avenger kits for the 04 cavys, but beside that i will put on my car exactly the same things you have on your car i mean everything and i will paint it yellow , just to piss you off
and also cause i like the look f your car but mainly to piss you off
