Default 944 CGT final design

Finally decided on what I would like to do with it. The wheels are from Rotiform, not officially those but similar types will be good too, they look a bit but they will be in the 18" range. I will need some help coming up with the numbers for the offset with the 2.25 broadfoot fender width increase for early offset.

Opinions and comments are appreciated!

I like the flares and stripes but the wheels are a bit too big. I would go with a 17" wheel personally. Maybe some of these http://www.wheelenhancement.com/inde...elDetail&id=31 I've always loved Porsche's factory wheels, I think they look better on P-cars than any aftermarket wheels. Those wheels on there are nice looking though. If you tastefully lower the car and stuff some massive tires under those fender flares it'll look so good!

I would like to put p-car rims on there but then it wont be as one-of-a-kind as Id like the car to be. Yes the rims in the photo are bigger than what they actually will be, the real rim will be 18/8.5 and 18/9.5

I like how your rear valence matches the graphics. I would personally go for wheels the same colour. The wing mirrors i'd paint red though. They're too isolated to tie into the grey theme properly.

I always thought about making that little trim piece that sits above the door into the same silver. The wheels will be brushed aluminium so it will be close

Looks good and creates an aggressive look!
It's your car so why not customize to your liking. If you change your mind you can always go back.

What I am having trouble deciding is if I should have the rivets showing on the fenders or not

NO RIVETS.It does look ok for a track car, for a street one a little tacky.One more wide body just to get you drooling.

One of my favorite cars is the Fortune Rx7 and that has the rivets showing, also how much in bondo is it going to cost to fill in those holes in the fenders for the rivets?

Here is what the front could look like with the flares:
