Well it says Retail Price: $0.00. So maybe it's free.



EDIT: Hmmmm. They also don't seem to mention the rear window spoiler. I hope they are still going to sell that.

Just spoke with a rep at wings west. They are about 30-45 days away from shipping on those kits. They put them up a little early to gauge response. The blue car is an MP3 with the lower panel kit. It's all bolt on and is $800. The yellow car has the extreme flare kit added and the rep said it will go for about $1100 total including the lower panel kit if you buy it as a package. The rear wing is their Skyliner model and is $357. Don't know about the rear window wing.

I'm guesstimating the MP3 WW kit will cost about 500-600 dollars since its just a bunch of add ons and not full bumpers.
Front bumper is the entire piece. It's not an addon. But the sides and rears are.

The front bumper looks good except for the little vertical stabilizers at the wheel wells ???

there actually quite a few things added to tthe front nbumpers, such as winglets, and the fog lamps have eyebrows, also not that the front grill seems to be a little bit wider

You hit the nail on the head. That's all the changes to the front bumper.

The blue car kit is a 4 piece so I'm sure it's the front clip, the rocker panels and the rear lower. I kind of like those little uprights on the back of the lower edge! It's all unpainted obviously so I would think you could just get it painted and bolt it all on. The 7 piece extreme flare kit does require bonding the pieces on and repainting though. I have to admit, it looks ricey or racey depending on your point of view.

I'm interested in the kit (blue one).

First of all I assume its just primed when we get it (good finish?).

2nd I am assuming, that unlike the MP3 bumper, this bumper is a straight bolt-on, and required none of that extra support (even though the one in the blue picture looks exactly like an mp3).

I also assume it comes with all attaching hardware (bolts clips).

Anyone confirm this?


Oh yah, it will have holes for the fog lights. Where are we going to get the MP3 style foglights from??

Don't assume. WW usually has fairly good kits. But often times still require drilling and fitting.

It will still require extra support. Ie: the MP3 bumper reinforcement.

It is intended for MP3's primarily. That's all they've been installed on so far. Both the yellow and blue project cars are MP3's.

Get the foglights from the dealer. Or Catz makes spotlights the same diameter as the MP3 foglights at less than half the price. So get those.
