I just LOVE how this car looks and am prolly interested in whole setup, especially if it's gonna be priced nicely.

For some reason there is this huge void in 928 parts when it comes to aftermarket front fenders. Those look very good and if you could make them with stock light holes, they would fill that void nicely.

I have some wide fronts w/ stock lights for my use but I could make them available in a couple of months. They are FG but could be CF but it would add to the $$$.


Aspkiller, are those rockers copies of the Strosek rockers? They look to be the same. I like them alot.

Friend of mine re-configured the fog / driving light area with higher powered lights for night driving. Not the best solution but it worked for his track car for the occational run at night.

I´m not sure about the splitter, but the fenders & rockers look great! Absolutely the best bodykit design I´ve ever seen for the 928. This beats the Jacquemond and Strosek stuff 100-0!

So, I´m waiting for the pricing too....

Just a quick note regarding headlight holes. We can produce the front fenders with headlights or without and with louvers or without.

I appreciate all the great comments and will try to fill in the voids when I get back to my office, later today.

Oh- and the splitter was designed to be destroyed without destroying my checkbook. Its ABS with conveyor belt rubber riveted to it. The frame that holds it underneath, along with the ABS belly pan is welded to the undercarriage and shouldn't receive much damage from minor scrapes and bumps on the track.

Larry,
That front splitter idea is the same type thing that Marc Thomas did w/ White Zombie... He drove that to Austin once and we got to check it out. I thought that was a great idea! He actually used the lawn and garden trim that you would put around a flower bed for his...

The rubber is about 1/4" thick and has reinforcement webbing in it. Pretty durable even when the car is as low as it is now.

The only car that I have seen that I like as much as yours is Fat Bully! Your car and Fat Bully are my absolute FAVORITE Wide body cars! I think mostly because they don't look over done...they look like this is exactly how the factory wanted them to look!

Thanks for nice comment - It is exactly the mindset we had (and still have) in developing this car as well as a few other 928s we're thinking about developing. It would have been easy to just cut out the fenders and glue on some arches in order to get bigger tires. But after looking at all the options, only Louie Ott's rear fenders made any visual sense to us. Keeping the shape and line of the car's fenders and then tying them together with the rockers was the goal and we think we accomplished it.

Also, our front splitter is completely removable and the original rear spoiler can still be installed. So, when not at the track, we can still drive the car on the street and not look too different. Might sound a little different. So, raise the front a little, roll up the windows, turn on the air and plug in a CD. Life is good.
