in addition to the metal flaired car I have a GT racing fiberglassed flaired car - it did take 40 hours to get them to fit nice. It look pretty good but I don't think it would stay pristine on a street car.

Well ultimately your white one is the most suitable example available Chris and it seems the fit and finish of the GT's are questionable at best. I shall continue my search.

Patrick,
The IFC body panels are the best fit, I have ever seen. I have GT racing parts and I heard a rumer that GT made copy's from some of the old IFC molds.

My plan is do make all the stuff myself in fiberglass, but if someone comes up with something that actually fits I will buy that instead

I think keeping a stock looking rear or incorporating the euro rear bumper would improve the looks 100%.. It doesn't look right all molded together but the rest of the car was AWESOME. I have never seen a 944/951 with that kind of "wow" factor

This one is one of my favorites:



Hans, do you have a detailed shot of those head lamps of yours? The way you fixed the turn signals looks neat!

Here's another pic from the side:


More pics in this thread of a swedish 9xxforum: http://www.944sverige.com/forum/view...er=asc&start=0

I think most stuff on that car are from gt-racing..

The car belongs to a endurance racing team in sweden (http://www.pelaro.se/racing)

I will make some pictures early next week.
The turn signals are motorcycle LED lights. The lamps are Hella fog lights. Additional challenge was the big K&N airfilter of the LR MAF3 which took away part of the space from the headlight.

Another picture

Ah there's some really nice stuff there guys. Mike, thanks for posting those scans. Very pleasing to the eye don't you all think? They look like the IFC one's Dave is talking about. Really nice look for a road car too! I have sent them another email. The rear bumper cover according to them traps too much air at speed but I wonder if there's not some way of sealing that off from underneath to avoid that issue as it gives the car a really nice finished off look at the rear. We may do the same or something different for the track only car. Keep the pic's and ideas coming please!!

Thanks a bunch Doug, that gives a good close up look. It seems as though most people have had some difficulties with GT panels fit and finish to varying degrees. I hope to have a few alternatives but for my road car I think the pics posted above by Mike really do look very good. I hope that they're the IFC panels and are still available. For some reason those images look a bit old?
