The pantera has a rounded front end so the round edges of the arches dont look out of place.

What im refering to is more something like this

to each his own. personally i dont really like the style of the widebody/flares you posted. The drawing i did was just something quick in paint brush pulling the flares off the pantera and putting on the staz.


fst4rd, yup thats a detomaso pantera with the gt5 widebody kit.

without the flares and wing this is what the narrow body looks like

I like the detomaso pantera's period... but they have to have a wing on them... Is it yours?

no the pantera is definately not mine:) i did find one for sale for 17k(no wing) but that was during a time when i couldnt afford it. Now that im married, i cant afford either:)

yes all panteras were narrow. the gt5 flares were an add on. I dont like the look of the red one i posted with the "stuck on" flares but it was the first pic i came across. The few owners that have taken their time to mold the flares into the body really set off the car. like this

i think this has to be one of the best looking cars without the wing

they did a beautiful job on the resto.
