I don't really understand the fascination with some of these wide 928s. There are usually no performance upgrades done and many of them are a/t also. WTF?
I would rather see metal flared fenders to fit massive tires and then serious suspension and power tweaks to make it a complete car with a purpose. Still, for the street there is no need for a 12" wide front wheel...

What I would want to see out of a widebody kit would be, in order of importance:

1) Wider front fenders. Everyone and their grandmothers are able to get larger rear fenders. The GTS even came with them. That's not even really a problem with 928's; what is a big problem is the front fenders and how you are limited on front tire width. Front wheel offset only makes this problem worse.

2) Larger air dam in the front for more cooling air. I don't like how later 928's always run hot. Opening up the air dam some more like the newer 911's and cayenne would IMO be beneficial if a car is making lots more power.

Everything else is just fluff that tries to make the car look better but almost all of the time perform worse.
