Default 968 rockers on a 951?

Saw this pic and really liked it- Anyone done this? Is it feasible, or a fabrication nightmare?

I don't know but wow does that look nice!

I would bet that GT Racing or perhaps Van Zweeden carry a repro side skirt that would bolt onto the 951.

I wonder if it also has the 968 rear bumper? Man I have got to get the 968 mirrors and handles....looks great.

What I'd really like to know is where the brake cooling ducts can be sourced.

Yeah it sucks being here in that way. Means body mods like that are more difficult.

I'll find out how hard this is shortly, as I have a pair of 968 rockers sitting in my garage right now. It won't be "bolt-up", but I do have an idea of how to attack it I think . . . lol dremel

It looks like it has the 968 rear on it. The side molding does look good on the 951 but it should be done with the 968 rear.

If you follow the top line through the wheel arch, you can seen it continue through the rear quarter panel. That's part of why it looks so good on the 968; the continuation of that line. It may not look so good on the 951 without the 968 rear.

I just talked to the guys at clubautosport about the brake ducts. You have to drill the front bumper as they dont attach to the factory mounts at all. I am uneasy about drilling a brand new factory euro nose so It looks like Im just going to get the factory euro lenses...btw I think the brake ducts are around 380 shipped with lenses, hardware, ducts and instructions (to the US)

haha damn, somebody beat me to it .

I was seriously looking into the 968 rear end conversion on my car. IMO, the 944 front with the 968 rear makes a damn sweet looking car. I hate the 968 front, and I hate the 944 rear hehe.

There is a lister who had done the entire conversion on an S2, he documents what is needed, etc.
