Glenn M, that's it! That's what I saw, wheels were different but that's the kit. What brand is it?

Bulldog24, you said, "fender flares" in your original post... I hate to tell you but there are no flared fenders on that car... Rocker panel extension yea, flared fenders, NO...

Also, you state it was an S4, this is an S/OB body... Are you sure it was the same body kit? Could be I guess...hood and basic rocker panels were the same so those kit parts certainly could have been put on an S4.

What car are you refering to? Do you know the owner of the car he saw? The OP said that Glenn's strosek was the same or similar to the one he saw.

I haven't seen flares on a great many early cars... Is that company in France still making flare kits for the early cars?

Both Jacquemond and Strosek still produce kits for 928s, all kits are intended for S4, but with can be fitted to OBs with some minor body modding. Prices quoted to me were around 5-6k euros.

Wasn't for sure on the year/generation of the car; it just looked like an S4 by the stance. The fenders looked "flared", similar to Glenn's with the air vents in front of the back wheels.

BCDavis, I think the Wide Aero on the Jaquemond site is the closest I've seen. Thanks for the link! Unfortunately, that kit is about 5 times more expensive than my car itself. Think I'll wait until I can find a new S4 to add that kind of money to.

Yeah, that is the problem.
Unless you find one already done, buying and installing one is pretty expensive to do it right...
