Widebody Mustang GT

Striking Looks or Over the Top? The Story Behind the Widebody Mustang GT

First Impressions

Let’s talk about something that’s been catching eyes, both approving looks and head shakes of disbelief—a Mustang GT that’s undergone a transformation. Sitting somewhere between a piece of art and a conversation piece, this souped-up version of the classic American muscle car comes from the folks at Clinched, hailing from North Carolina. They’ve gone to town on the bodywork with a widebody kit that’s pushing the boundaries of what many think looks good. The kit, made from ABS plastic, has turned this Mustang into something you’d expect to see at a car show, not just cruising down Main Street.

Design Features

Clinched’s widebody approach gives the Mustang GT an aggressive stance that makes it look like it just rolled off a video game screen. The fenders are wide, we’re talking about four inches wider than the stock setup, and are attached with visible rivets, echoing the style of high-end brands like Liberty Walk. But it doesn’t stop at the arches; there’s a new aerodynamics-enhancing front splitter and pronounced side skirts. While it looks ready to race, you’d probably be pretty worried about catching a curb with those low-hanging skirts.

Color and Wheels

Now, about that color—this isn’t your regular paint job. They’ve wrapped the car in a vivid Pearl Urban Bamboo finish from Inozetek. The wrap gives off a light greenish-turquoise hue with a pearlescent quality that shines golden under direct sunlight. Completing the look are custom white ESR wheels, adding yet another layer of flash to this already bold machine.

Driving Experience

All these mods create an experience that’s as striking to drive as it is to look at. Sitting low to the ground, the Mustang feels glued to the road. Clinched’s suspension tweaks mean you’ll feel every bit of feedback from the car, but it doesn’t compromise on comfort too much. Compared to a stock Mustang or even another performance car in its class, this one demands attention, both visually and in how it performs on the road. While not everybody’s cup of tea, for those who love a car that makes a statement, this Mustang GT hits the mark.

Final Thoughts

Whether you find it amazing or a bit excessive, there’s no denying this Mustang GT is a stand-out. It’s a labor of love for its owner, and that should always be appreciated in the car community. While it may not suit everyone’s tastes, its boldness captures what personalization and modification in the car world are all about—standing out and making your ride truly yours.
