I don't like it, doesn't suit the car at all.

I'll preface my comment with a genuine respect for the effort, time and monetary investment, but I'll never grasp the concept behind adding a wide-body to a factory wide-bodied car.

Sometimes too much of a good thing is in fact too much of a good thing, because racecar hips only serve to cheapen this car, but to each his own and enjoy it in good health.

Can't wait to see it!

Please keep it black! It will look so sinister and I think a lot of people complaining about how massive the flare is will like the vorsteiner kit if it's on a black car. It might make the fenders not quite as ostentatious as that AY or YMB kit.

Keep the mint green theme as well!

Probably the worst looking kit out there at the moment for the F8x. Not a single line that is on the original car flows nicely with the new kit. Big fail as most of Vorsteiners latest products. They are turning into the new AC Schnitzer.

Looking forward to seeing this!

Am I the only one that thinks the Vorsteiner wide body kit looks comically wide in the rear?? ... and that is not a good thing either. Put yourself in some imaginary shoes here...you are driving, you see this car, you go oh shit that is really cool, then your thoughts begin to transition into...ehhhhh that is WAY too wide in the rear, did west coast customs build the rear fenders?? Ugh.

That would be my general thought process.

Sometimes less is more. :-/

If any vehicle deserves to have it's rear quarter panels properly defined/accentuated, it is the M4.

Properly defined, you say?

BUT by "handle amazing" do you mean have excessive understeer? 70mm offset from front to rear (25% wider rear) compared to stock 20mm offset front to rear (8% wider rear) will cause severe push.
Not that a build like this will do more than sit on a showroom, but it's just a point.

I'm not sure I understand how bad the under steer would be.. I realize it would require more effort to turn on a sharp corner but I'm not sure how bad it would be..are you saying it would be absolutely terrible?

I actually liked tag's build enough to have one of their shot as a background shot.

Guys just say this is a joke played on us late because you forgot to turn the page in your calendar.

A minor edit: The lip in the first picture has my full approval.

It will remain black. And I agree, I think black will be very sinister looking especially from the front with as low as it will sit. Can't wait to get it back!

How to ruin a great looking car.
There is only one place on a planet where people might like it... Bangladesh.

Either way congrats on skills. Just a pity you don't use it to make the car look better not worse.

That looks awful. Colour on the fender looks different. What a waist!

I don't know what car this is, nor did I mean to wrinkle any feathers. I just do not see how a well executed wide-body M4 is a bad thing?

MCarsFan · 05-16-2015, 07:15 AM

It isn't, it's awesome. M4 great car.. Wide body kit looks fantastic IMO
