I'm about to remodel a 1984 944 to have 400-500 hp, new interior, and wide body kit and such and I've been searching for a while and can find great images of the body kits I want but cant find names of the kits or places to buy them. Here's some images to help in case anyone has any ideas. Also, any ideas about rebuilding/building a new engine/swapping the engine would be great.


















not sure if those are all the right model, but if they are the white one and the black one with round lights would be dope.

Also can anyone tell me if the Our Daytona 951 GTR Wide Body Kit ($1,800) is applicable to my car from this site by chance? http://www.broadfootracing.com/944_wide_body.htm

Danger, Will Robinson....

You should do a search on Broadfoot Racing and the problems Rennlisters have had with them before you spend any money.

GT racing, IFC racing, broadfoot racing, F-S-H, FX aero/fiber works, Strosek, Apex performance. That should get you started.

That first photo is nice, but they trashed it with those $479 China wheels...

The cheap rubber strips around the wheel openings and the hideous front splitter don't help.



For the OP, what is your budget for this project?
What kind of experience do you have with major car projects?
Will you be doing the work yourself or having it done by professionals?

I am spending around 1-2k a month but want to eventually reach my goals of having it fully rebuilt and customized. I will have professionals do things like installing the kit and tuning the engine while I do most if not all of the tedious work like sanding the body, restoring the upholstery, recarpeting the floors, undercoating after cleaning, etc. I know it will take a while, especially since im also restoring a 68 mustang but got bored while saving and building a new engine for it and saw a 944 in good condition with all maint records and such and talked him down to $1250. 00. drove it for a half hour and it had no leaks and no visible problems so ill start working on the small things then decide what to do with the engine. Im eventually going for 450-500 hp out of whatever engine so its either rebuild it to do it if possible with supercharge or swap the engine or build one form scratch. Either way its going to be clean when its done.

Also, Ive never done a body kit before... do all kits just go on top of the parts already on the car or do some replace the parts. I mean do all fender flares go on top of fenders and bumper kits go on top of bumpers? or do some replace the parts?

In a lot of cases the parts are replaced but it really depends on what replacement parts you buy. Almost all bumper parts are replacements but with fenders it depends on the style and the vendor.

Does anyone know if Porsche Turbo twist chrome 18 inch wheels for a narrow body Porsche 911 will fit my 1984 porsche 944?
