Fishey, you know thats a good idea. Had not thought about a Cabriolet Wing.
I am open to suggestions as always, so people need to send me some prototypes and sketches.
Or what ever they have. Then I can start a direct thread/topic on that and we can go from their

I am interested in this but to be honest I wont have the cash anytime soon. I also like the 968 rear section but Im not sure I understand how it will be attached based on what it says at the website.
Someone offers a 968 turbo rs wing that I think uses aluminum panels between the center section and and ends. Not sure what the advantage would be but they are also more expensive.

Mark,
Several companies use the metal pieces for adjustment, cant say I see a major advantage to them.
The rear section the 968 look, works like this, if you remove the lights on both sides of your car in the rear their is a valley all the way across, some early models use the center light to fill the void between the lights, late models mount the license plate in the center.
If you remove all that, and the lower section, the bumper cover, etc... this piece mounts in its place. flush with the top light of the light recess and going down to match body lines, on the sides, the quarter panels, it just wraps around and over. There are brackets and screws for securing it in place. You end up with the updated 968 look and lights.
If you want the complete flush fitted factory look, you should let a body shop do the mounting and mold it in flush. Its not complicated, but its not for everyone.
I will be putting up another page with information on it soon.
May end up doing a piece for the front as well, that mounts the 968 style front bumper/spoiler assembly to the 944 fenders, etc.
We arent the first to do this, nor will we be the last, but we will be one of the few doing them in the US.

Olli,
Thanks for the tip, yea a transfer you say? Hemm still not a bad way to do buisness, but the shipping is murder.
I do have some other suppliers lined up, if I wanted to go retail and open a distributorship, even have a few companies that do complete 968 kits for both the 924 and 944, they arent cheap, but they are remarkable.
I for one like the idea of drivinga 931 to 968 clone. Cheaper to maintain and still reasonable performance, especially if I do a little work on the engine... but thats a subject for another thread.
Thanks again for the tip Olli.

OK now for those of you who are die hard CARBON FIBER FANS, I can do them for 730.00 plus shipping.

Ian,
It should be nice enough to leave in an unpainted version... depends on the paint on your car. Given the darker but glossy look and texture of CF...
I only have pictures of the fiberglass to post, tomorrow on the website. I will work on getting some of the CF.
