I found this pic online. Maybe he did manage to squeeze the big intercooler under the ducktail.

I recon that the above horribly proportioned backdates could be dramatically improved by having the lowest part of the sills painted flat black 9or even simply stickered with a black vynil strip). One would have to play around a bit to get the proportions right.

Nicely done Australian backdate to a 1990 C2. With our terrible AUD, this is good value for you UK RHD guys!

My thoughts exactly, took me way longer than it should have done to work out how the singer's look worked. Black lowers on the sills with a front splitter sorts it!

This is one of the few I have seen I like. It does not look fat and bloated like most and doesn't use the same bad front valance with SC air dam. I am not sure what makes it worth 6 figures never mind $150k though. For that money I would expect something more than a fiberglass knock off rear bumper.

Love the seat inserts, and white headliner.



Exhaust is nicely tucked away. The 964 rear spoiler works too.

This the price we pay for air cooled 911's in Australia unfortunately.
A stock Aust delivered C4 will sell $90k to $100k, Aus delivered C2 $140k-$150k.
From all accounts, the builders (Zag), do a very good job.
