Yes. Do you have a side rendering of this?

This is the actual kit on a Durango . He is working on rendering for the ST. I think the step down is much better imo

The edge reveal is much more narrow than the original. I think that was what did not register with me.

I felt the same. Trying to get it right because he is only doing one mold.

Hello, I have a black 2022 St. I have been trying to find out if the plastic fenders, side skirts, and bumpers can be painted. Apparently, you will get orange peel due to the texture of the pieces. So I'm definitely interested in this body kit.

If done correctly they will be smooth as glass.

I've always wondered what was involved with the process but have never known anyone personally that had it done. Of course, I've seen vehicles with it and you couldn't tell that it started life as a textured finish but, never seen it done.

Sand it down, prime and paint.... Generally, some p120, sand off all the texture, a few coats of high build primer, paint and done. It's pretty easy but a little time consuming. The only kinda hard part is getting off all the trim lol.

After many hours on the phone and renderings. I will have the final rendering tomorrow (no changes) and get a head count to start the process. He is going to join the forum so he can message interested parties directly for emails / numbers / invoices etc. these are made over in the Czech Republic so keep in mind the time change. It is 2 o’clock over there right now and he is still talking with me.

I’ve put my 2 cents on the redesign and believe it is going to be very nice and flow well with the lines. Some of the decisions and style were based on wide kits for the Range Rover as they share similar lines.

I'm probably gonna make my call based on your mockup/measurements (post lots of pics and videos) of a 305 or 315 tire on a 22x10.5+30 wheel plus 1.25" spacers. There is going to be serious inner fender liner trimming required and I am hoping no metal trimming. If metal trimming is needed, I am probably gonna sit this one out.

How wide would the wheels and tires be in this case?

It’s a 1.25 inch flare out on each side.
