I don't know what body kit it is - I just collected the pictures off the internet once-upon-a-time. The car has been discussed here, but I don't remember in what thread/context. It is the only 928 I have ever seen with the rear quarter delete. Even cars with a Strosek rear hatch don't delete the rear quarter (see below).

Check out this website - he's got lots of 928 bodykits shown:

Thank you for your help the one I did see had an after market hatch similar to that of a Ferarri.

You are welcome. I think that could look pretty cool - I have not seen that one. Hopefully someone will dig up a picture of it.

Here is a different way to achieve the rear quarter delete.

Carlos, I cant find any decent body kit manufactures. The ones I did find look like wannabe ricers. The Jaquemond kits were pretty nice but I dont think theyre still in business like Strosek unfortunately.

I remember that one too. I think there was a guy on here trying to do the same thing a few years ago. He posted lots of progress pics but I don't remember seeing anything finished.

I don't know about you but I use those windows all the time so closing them off is not something I'd like. But the Ferrari thing might be interesting if it were done right...

One of he reasons I love driving the 928 is because of the side windows as they reduce blind spots. I had a 944 and the B pillar always created blind spots.

In my opinion I like the idea of removing them. I dont use them when I back up. Since I spend most of my time going forward they do me no good and from an asthetic point I feel it makes the car look cleaner and smoother that way. To each his own.
