the rear quarter panels look like they are just glued on over the original panels. It looks unfinished, like they forgot to mold it into the body. It looks like the rear fender flares stop a few inches from the bottom of the car.

If those places were done better it would look better.

I think it looks good. I can understand putting bigger flares on a car to get wider wheels and tires under it, but I personally think that our cars already have good size fender flares. The cost of doing this body kit would be ridiculous too. I can't imagine changing the rear quater panels would be the easiest task either. The entire kit isn't really all that outrageously over priced though.

I don't think the pictures give it justice considering the 305's in the front and the 335 in the rear.
Those are huge.

I agree. Eh. Lose the hood and wing and it would be hard to tell the difference. Not bad i guess if your main goal is larger wheels and tires. Not for me though.

Not feeling it at all. **** kit looks all bloated not to mention that GTO inspired spoiler. Besides I've heard too many horror stories about Mr. BK's lack of quality.

Yo Maier Racing. Your markiting sucks!

Everything I have seen by Maier Racing are the worst photographs!!! It looks like they just pulled off the road and took some pics with thier cell phone cam! Thier markiting sucks... I like wider and I have gone as wide as I can but Maier Racing just seems like a "back yard" operation...

Just when you thought 1986 IMSA styling was gone forever.... Its the Mustang 944 Quattro ASC McLaren Turbo! Wheres the big TURBO stickers with fade effect?? At least it already has the clear headlight covers. Just needs a reflector red-clear tail light extention all the way across the rear panel with M U S T A N G in black block letters on it.

EDIT: note, many viewers on this site will be too young to remember the terminology in this post

I like it. But do I have to use the rest of their stuff. Or can I use only the extensions?
