Yeah, that's my site.
I like all the wacky body mods...
I'm by no means a 928 purist.

I try to collect all the pictures of the exotic body kits, etc... I have a lot more pictures, but in some cases they are duplicates of the same car. I decided just to post 1-2 of each...

Cool site Brian!!
Mine is coming along..... Motor is complete but not in the car and no transmission so the ride height is goofy. I finished the body except for a few details last weekend. Wheels on order and I can hardly wait to get them because it will give the car a much better look!!!

Looking really good. I was waiting for an update from you.
Heard about all the engine hassles. I am glad you finally have it ready to go.
Was the engine built as a stroker, as well as supercharged? Or was it built just for boost? Your car looks very similar to the combination of pieces I would want to pick up from Jacquemond. I prefer the front end with the rounded mouth, as opposed to the squared air inlet. I am still trying to decide if I like the tail lights or not. I think the car is looking really cool. I LOVE the underhood graphic! How do the headlights work? Were they easy to hook up? Do they seem to be bright enough? What has been your overall experience with the kit? Easy to install and hook everything up? What wheels are you getting?

Those hassles worked to my benefit and Markus did some of his finest work. I also gained a lot from Marcus3 fine tuning things on his car. My motor is not a stroker but built for boost.
As for the kits, there is so much to consider. The fiberglass work is first class and fitting is really good. I did some things a little different than other cars I have seen. I eliminated the body seal at the front and rear cap and also shaved the door lock cylinders(on remote). My roof spoiler is mounted further down and I am using different headlights. I have not completed wiring the lights in, however I did take the wires from the original housings and connected them to the lights. So now, when I re run the wiring harness through the car I can plug right in. I have another idea totally different for headlights that had I known, I would of added this personal touch to it also. I have not tested the headlights, and if they are not adequate I will probably consider changing to my design. All of the lights came with the kit except the headlights. And at the time I bought my kit Olivier had not introduced the 2 p.e.s. headlights. I'm pretty confident though the set up on the car will work well for my intended use.
Fitting is good, however 'easy' is not a word to use when doing a conversion like this no matter who made the kit. While doing mine, I was able to see several other cars modified and none were easy. The same shop that did mine did a serious flared Lotus, wish I had pictures.
I am going with Fikse FM/10 polished outer satin inner in 18x12 rear and 18x9.5 front. The car will totally change when they are on it and it will really start to look right when the suspension settles from the weight of the motor and trans.
If you ever decide to get a Jacquemond kit contact me off line and I will help in any way I can.

Does anyone know who makes this basic widebody kit, I like the way it keeps the same 928 lines but just enhances them a bit.

I think that is a Jacquemond.

The red car looks like it may have the stock wing, rear section, and front section. Just Jacquemond flares and side skirts... It does look clean, huh?
