Default Yellowbird Widebody?

Has anyone done this? Pics? I have an 87 911, 993 motor & a lot of great parts, want to weld on Flares & go Yellowbird style. Talked to them & said the sold a lot of kits for 930's

Yellowbird wasn't a wide body. They were looking for speed, which big flares hinder. They only massaged the rear fenders slightly.

Default RUF

Even the narrows look like a little flare was put on the rear fenders?
