    Vivid Racing's Wide Body R8 Build

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi all!

    Recently, we got our hands on a Gen 2 R8 and are doing a full wide body build.
    The kit that we've selected is the Prior Design PD800WB. The kit includes the following:

    Front Bumper Vents Inserts
    Front Add-On Lip Spoiler
    Front Flares
    Side Skirts
    Rear Bumper Vents Inserts
    Rear Diffuser
    Rear Flares
    Front Fenders
    'Hood'

    I figured I would introduce myself and give you folks a sneak peek.

    We currently are having a set of wheels built by Brixton and will have a reveal as soon as it is finished. In the mean time, keep an eye on this thread as I will be update it through the process!

    Below are some photos of the install so far:

    Welp.

    The R8 is back with the full Prior Design kit installed. You can see how much WIDER this thing is as the OEM wheels are still installed. We've fitted a Capristo Exhaust to it as well. We've got a couple more tricks up our sleeve with this build... Stay tuned!!

    Is this the finished product in terms of the wide body? The panel gap on that front fender kills me.

    There is still some tweaking left but that is actually the frunk! It is massive on the Gen 2's.

    We aren't done just yet! It'll be going under the knife again very soon for some more goodies.
