Maybe post some pics of Fat Bully, and those fender extensions on this thread, so he can see what others have been up to.
Then maybe Jacquemond can eventually make some similar stuff...

I would seriously consider buying a pair of front fenders that looked stock but were 2" further bulged to be able to comfortably fit 275 tires on 52 - 57mm ET wheels.

Like this, but maybe with different wheel vents on top vs the stripe. All though the stripe looks kind of cool as a result of this chop and the rivets are not that bad eitiher. BUT a custom fender that was designed from scratch, could be very nice.

What I love of this one, is how the fender is off the door. Also the vent it create could suck a lot of air out of the engine bay.

Welcome Olivier!!!

May I be so rude as to say... That it's about damn time!

I have a huge appreciation for your automotive designs and passion for the 928. So good to finally have the king of the wide bodies here to contribute to the madness.

ATB,

Bill

Unfortunately that vent is into the outer lip of the fender not the engine bay - I suppose venting holes could be drilled to the engine bay - but first you'd have to understand the relative pressures along the whole area to know if it would vent in or out ... possibly you could creates a venturi effect at the door gap at the back...

Beautiful kits but the price of the kits plus installation is more than the value of most 928's. Let's us know if the prices are more reasonable now.

That fender is ok -for a track car, but primitive for a street car. Make a fender that is stock but 1.5 -2 inches ( or 7- 10 centimeters) wider like previously suggested, and I will be your first customer.

I purchased my rear wing from Jacquemond a few years ago.

It‘s his AERODYNE rear wing.

Great build quality. I love it.

Jacquemond was also very good to deal with, and shipping was reasonable.

Welcome Olivier!

Cheers,
Michael




Here are a few pics of the Jacquemond AERODYNE wing on my 928…

I have drooled over the silver Jacquemond car for years. I wish I could afford to put that kit on one of my cars. Alas, it's way out of my price range.

Not trying to be a smartass, but 7-10cm is just under 3 to about 4 inches.

I agree, Mark's (Red) fender treatment is great for the track, but definitely not for the street. The doors will get pelted with tire buggars, sand, and gravel. Plus, in the rain there will be tire spray up through the mesh on top.

I would love to have that wide body boxter on your site. That thing looks mean.
