Now we know what a short bumpered 964 would look like. Guess we should be happy with the 964 as is. That is truly hideous.

Looks like the DP's 960 kg. Signal-Yellow monster is getting close to final assembly! Getting close...

Cheers,

Do you think think they have used a secondary OEM rubber gator to sit on top of the factory rubber gator to give it this height?
How else would they have got that rubber gator base to sit so flush with the centre console?

Also, any thoughts on the centre exhaust? Is this a GT3 centre exhaust or something else?

I wish I could see where any of these folks are putting the four switches from the center console when they do this, I really love the cleaner look of no center console but haven't yet seen where/how to mount the switches there, I think the door lock one could just come out as it happens if you manually trip the doors anyway but the hazard, warning clear, and spoiler switch need to go somewhere

One option is the Rennline radio block-off plate

A lot of people use the radio block off plate offered by rennline. But I like my radio every once in a while. lol. Anyone know of any other ideas?

Also curious about the boot as I've fitted the rothsport shifter on my car. And would love to have the boot sit higher as well.

964 Belüftungsset

This looks like an awesome set up for mild climates. Simple and light weight, nice weight saving over the complicated and heavy stock unit.

very nice but as this isn't a heater why not save the money/weight and just open a window or two for ventilation
