Noz Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Can someone explain to me please what these two mean. Because I'm consistently seeing people stick veilside over fenders on and call their car either wide body or wide arch. I thought both of these was the use of a larger arch and therefore a larger body. Not a minor arch flare modification, regardless of its blending or not.

Can someone explain please [sAD][/sAD] Agreed. A full on wide body kit including front, rear and side panel replacement. Like the below, that's true wide body. http://www.titanmotorsports.com/topsecgtwidk.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 100% agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Veilside overfenders is wide arch I think, not wide body as in TRD or Nur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Right okay, makes more sense. I am fabricating my own wide arch kit from metal. So I suppose this would be termed wide body. I think the coined term "wide whatever" seems to be thrownice about a lot lately. People rarely go the whole hog, GT300, Nur or fabricate their own wide body.

Al Massey Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 People call veilside, or other stick on wide arches when in reality, it's an arch extension. If fitted correctly and the original arch has been cut and made bigger, then yes it's a wide arch. It's a proper wide "body" kit like TRD.

Noz Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 So what do we think the reasoning is to people adding arch extensions calling it a wide arch? Does coining the term make the car more valuable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does coining the term make the car more valuable? I got the full ridox widearch fully blended and is just to get some big tyres in for grip and to look mean (personal preference I know) no interest in value as not looking to ever get rid (unless anything drastic happens) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 But arch replacement like them are surely different to different styles of over fenders dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 If the stock arches have been cut and a wider arch kit is used then it's a wide arch. Wide body is across the supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 But arch replacement like them are surely different to different styles of over fenders dude Yeah true, not sure where Ridox would fit into the scale as its not really as aggressive and wide all over like the TRD to be widebody but like you say it is replacement fenders for the front instead of just an extension and is a big rear panel so widearch may also be incorrect... I always refer to it as widearch but im not sure what the correct terminology would be for ridox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
