So I'm in the process of buying these panels. they are an IMSA look alike panel. Insted of widening the whole rear end it widens the tire area as well as ads the front portion of the IMSA 1/4 panel with the side scoop. I have never seen these things before and i was wondering if anyone had any information on them. I plan to use them on my formula to give it a bit more of an aggressive look. i find them very interesting and wanted to see if anyone has ever seen these.

I think those require the rear clip to be modified, but they may just be bond and smooth out the edges flares.

Unless they were cut from the IMSA fender, or not a full part from the mold, I don't think so.

These were modeled from the Street IMSA as the race car version had the belt molding "Cut" by the wheel arch. With the street version the molding is above the wheel arch.

Just my $.02 but I think they will work fine bonded on (that is what I am doing with my race car rear quarters)

Its not quite the exact IMSA kit. the one you pictured is the same style as my Stage 3 IMSA

They are put together a little differently. The true IMSA wide body widens the whole rear end full 1/4 rear bumper etc. This retains the stock bumper by only widening the wheel well area. It looks like a cheap but very effective way to get IMSA styling without any major modification to the whole body just the clip itself.

Leave the formula as is. It looks awesome the way it is and I think just widening the rear like that would throw the proportions way off.
