Default 928 wide body

So I really want the wide body from the newer 929s, I have an 84 nd it I want a wide body. I chose this year since I like how the tail lights look but the wide body its what missing. I know 928 motorsports sells a kit....but.....its not tgat great looking. BUT WHAT IFFFFFF??!

one of our vendors or just any one created some these wide body panels, like from the challenger from 6, you think it could be possible nd look good? I think it would look sick. Just my 2 cents.

No, because how would the back of the fender end then? The 928 is much too round at the rear to pull something like that off. Besides, that flare is almost non-existent. Have you checked out American International Racing? Also, do you like Strosek's wide body take on the 928? It's possible you could get one of those setups.

F that... any 928 widebody i have seen (mind you all in pictures) i never like from all angles, only a few. Plus theres the cost factor... thousands just to buy the parts, then thousands more to do it right, and even then it's a gamble that it will be a clean job. For that you could get a supercharger kit or DIY your own and buy some other supporting mods. IMO the 928 body can't be f-ed with...

I could see why, imagine effin one side up.. but idk I really like that style of the addition to the fender, it looks like it can be just mounted nd faded away to the doors.

I generally don't like body modifications to the car. I believe in the "less-is-more" philosophy but have to admit that the Ott rear fenders (below) really look good with the lines of the car. That car looks like a beast.

To my eye, the early body style looks wider when the rear S spoiler has been deleted.
