How about:
What 928 Daytona are you asking about?
The aluminum bodied ones that ran the 24 hour race?
You need to clarify and expand on your question if you want an answer.

Hello i apologize for the very poor quality of my english.
I would like to know in what material was the car wing extensions of the Porsche 928 which participated in Daytona in 1984, apparently it was not a case all aluminum.
Thank you for your answers
cordially
David

Hi David,
By "wing" extensions, I believe you are meaning the wheel well arch extensions as shown in photographs of the Brumos #92 928 racer, correct? And before I'm corrected, yes there is a very small "8" placed just after the "92" car number, a cheeky play to further promote the 928 for this race.
No way to know for certain but would guess either fiberglass or the factory just expanded the metal of both the front and rear wheel wells.
Also the rumor that this car was an all aluminum bodied car is just that, a rumor. From the research I did into this racer, it appears this 928 racer, commissioned by the late Bob Snodgrass of Brumos to further promote the 928 for the US market, was a regular bodied 928.
This racer is being housed in the Porsche museum warehouse without an engine and hopefully someday might be brought out after a restoration.
Best answer at the moment.
Best regards,
Constantine

Hello,
Thank you for your answer,
I want to make a replica of this model to participate in historical in France races and to homologate it, I have to realize the "wheel well arch extensions" in the same materials as at the time.
I have to know and prove the materials used.
Thank you to those who can answer me

Hi David,
Understand your dilemma and applaud your efforts on this adventure.
I would suggest to call Porsche in Stuttgart and ask for their museum department and see if they could help you.
That was how I finally was able to confirm the Brumos 928 Daytona racer was still around. The head of the museum at that time, Klaus Bischoff, sent me some tantalizing photos of it sitting in the storage area.
I'm sure after you explain what you are trying to do, the current staff would be able to assist you. No one else on this forum would know the correct answer you are seeking.
Good luck and please let us know what you find out!

That sounds like a fun project.
Good luck with it.
Maybe post some pics of it, too.
