Wow...just, wow.

Not sure what I think of this:

The idea is great. Maybe with a different wheel design it would be stunning. The deep dish look is awesome, but the wheel design currently on there is too busy (or something).

This is not a kit you can buy. It has to be done custom just for your car. THere is a forum member on this very site who has done at least 3 Challengers that I know of, a widebodied Top Banana Daytona, and is currently wodybodying the front and back of his own blue SUper Bee. Do a search for Topo's work and check it out.... awesome craftsmanship for which he has become famous for.

IMO they did an aweful job of blending the paint. It looks like two different shades. That said, i kinda like it but liked his black/orange ones 100% better.

+1 to SirTodd. The nation really needs to stop taking anything California does seriously.

totally unrealated, but that comment made me laugh...


The body kit is cool...the wheels seem a little too deep or something though...

I like the wider body. I think the wheels should be smaller in diameter; keep the width but on smaller wheels with a little taller tires. It definitely has potential.

I agree...go with 20" wheels (maybe even 18"). More sidewall. More muscular.

Don't like the wheels/tires and the paint job is horrible IMHO. Not hating, just my 2 cents worth.

Folks, keep a couple things in mind about this car:

1. Topo is not the painter of the vehicle, last time I checked. He just lays down the beautiful canvas, then the painter takes over from there.

2. Keep in mind that due to the extreme angles of the body work, it gives the paint reflections from a whole 'nother angle than what you would normally see.... thus making it look like different shades of silver. I highly doubt the paint looks that off in real life. I bet it's just sahdows and reflections toying with the picture.
