ok first thing to do is RTFAQ,
next for body kits go to gt-racing.com and look there that is probably the main place but you will need some fiberglass and bondo work, and of course paint

GT Racing and Infinite Fiberworks are the only two that I'm aware of. I have exactly zero personal experience with either company but I'm sure some others on the board do. As far as prices, GT is expensive as all hell and I've heard mixed reviews. IFC seems to be a little better price-wise and I have heard more good than bad about them. Like I said, I haven't bought from either company... yet. I;m sure some of the others on the board can be of more help.
Here are the links to both companies, though:

I have purchased and mounted GT flares from GT racing. I would say the fit was okay as was the fiberglass.

The problem I came across was the absence of rocker panels. You will have to make your own as I did.

Try PEFA Design for something different but again expensive.

hey man i got exactly what your looking for

the wide body conversion from IFC is around 2k USD not including the wide body side skirts (350)or the wide body wheel well tubs(290). Heres the site:

im going for the look of the car in black which includes all the above plus the euro style hatch which in the summer reduces the heat in the car (mine has no sunroof) and carpet fade

but the price on that is like 1500 USD. Check it out
