If anyone buys the parts and does the conversion in the future, please make sure to post the pictures of the process (and details)

GT Racing sells all of the body parts as well as what they refer to as PART # 398 944 to 968 conversion pieces. I will inquire with them as to what pieces these entail. I have been slowly collecting 968 parts to do such a conversion. http://www.gt-racing.com/catalog/GTR968.pdf

For those interested I have a friend in Japan willing to ship from ArkTech. The conversion rate is to divide yen by 100 and you will be pretty close. You can also check out www.xe.com as it is a currency converter. Be sure you have a ventilator and seat handy when you look at the pricing.

Not a 968, but IMHO a very clean looking rear is available

Reg. the 951/968 hybrid pictures: The RHD, the license plates and the town in the background look very British.
However, I don't think that the curvy back-end matches the angular front-end.

Anybody know where I can get one of the slim rear bumpers?

Renee,

I too am interested in the front end conversion. Please post when you have more information on the 944 to 968 conversion pieces.

Does he speak Japanese (or does ArkTeck have someone who speaks English)? I have been drooling over their rockers for a year or more, but their new site doesn't list them. Just wondering if they quit making them.

Michelle, yes he speaks Japanese, one of the advantages of working in a company full of Japanese folks. Just a heads up, the CF ones would be more for a pair than you paid for your car. I want to say they were (sit down now), 3K dollars PER fender in CF and about 1800 each in FG.

Ijust want the rockers which were shown on another ad for $899. Pricey, but they're exactly what I want.

Michelle - I will ask him to call on Monday, because of time delay from when he gets my email etc it will probably be Wednesday before I know something back. BTW - conversion rate is 111 to 1 at this time.

There is a whole 968 front clip for sale for $3K in the classifieds, in case anyone is interested.
