If you have to do a widebody see if you can find a Koinig kit. These are some of the only widebody 928s I have really liked. Another option is to go fender flair Ott style.

And Socalgirl even though you shouldn't be sitting on your hood, I am glad you did.

I would not do it. But it is your car.
Socalgirl please stay off your car the hood and fenders are not steel. It is, however, a very nice picture.

Just remember that if you install that body kit you'll have the added expense of a fart can exhaust to complete the look.

The vast majority of body kits make your resale value and potential audience shrink like a certain body part in ice cold water.

I think that the kit without the strakes could work, but then it isn't a "KIT" anymore, it is a completely custom job.

here's a with pictures of a Koenig kit for a 928. I really like it. How wide do you figure those rear tires are?

Voted No. I have to admit there are some wide bodies out there I like but this body kit is pretty bad. I think it totally takes away from the Shark's clean lines. Just replace the fron spoiler and keep the rear one.

It's the wheels. The skinny phone dials work very well with the original shape, but the Gemballa NEEDS fat deep-dish customs. Without them, the body-kitted car is dreadfully out of balance.
