Question 930 tuners back in the 80's

I just found out that my 1980 930 turbo was tuned in California and a 935 kit was installed. I've been looking for possible tuners that did it to know more about the car.
Anybody knows about someone?
Thanks

Photos would help alot. I often get photos of "bitsy" cars that the owners think are DP's, but may only have a DP or similar spoiler.

So what's been tuned? You give no details or pictures about the engine, As far as the body, from those pics it could be any number of random suppliers. I know that AIR used to sell those lower 1/4 pieces with the vent.. and they sold tales such as yours.. as did many other aftermarket suppliers. What about the white vents, is that vent area metal or fiber glass?

+1 on that looking like an AIR kit. That also looks like an extended turbo tail.

Was a well known & respected tuner in El Toro/Lake Forest. Can't recall the name at the moment. I think the head guy used to be a mechanic at one of the big shops (Andial?) and left to start his own gig. Had a few friends who took their cars there for service/race prep.

You're thinking of Vision MotorSports, that was post 80's though.
