how wide is too wide for the fenders and how does one go about making it legit....making it looking nice...instead of just adding extra pieces on the fender and molding it on....does one have to roll the fenders? what material is use for the extra flaring and any ideas to make sure the design flows nicely with the curvatures of the celi? Everybody talks of wide body celica...but very few accomplishes it or have mentioned anything about it...it's more of "HERE IT IS" with pics but no DYI or how to properly go about making the body wider...i REALLY want to know how to do the rear panel...I know i can take to mechanics and find one who can try to make it work at a body shop, but even before i go, i need to make sure the idea is presentable so when they work on it...it won't look too RICEY or have the operation on the car go wrong. I know doing this will cost a lot, but there are people out there who do have the money...
here is a pic of how the celi's body should like like...it's from a RC nitro in 1/8th scale... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() HOPEFULLY something nice like this ![]() I sincerely think this thread can be of use if someone or anyone for the fact of the matter can help contribute vital information for people who want to do something like this for their celi...me being one of them.

i know...im trying to get them out and reply on this thread for any future mods people might want to do like this...hopefully they see it...I don't have any experience or knowledge how much is TOO much for widening...so any gestures would help; if those who have done have any thing they would like to add or things the would do differently if widening the body please add in here. thanks in advance. I took a sample for the RC body and hope to use it as a role model for the real thing....hopefully by looking how the model is, all who have seen it can give an opinion on it too...would that be too wide (comparision to what a wide body should look like to the RC plastic body)...?
