Max - how much did you widen the front and rear quarters over the stock body? Did you do the work yourself or did you hire a shop?

Looks fantastic - aggressive but subtle.

Attached are some pictures of the car after paint.
I am also building a new GT3 Class 944 tub in Carbon fiber and I will be venting the top and sides of both the front and rear wide body fenders

Mr. Max, is that the exhaust hole in front of the rear quarter pales? It's pretty cool looking. Well the whole car is really cool looking, ok both cars are really sweet.

Did you make the hood on the LS3 car or buy it? I need exactly that hood and the throttle body air intake.

The original hood mold was built for my car and Scheiman Composites has it and used it to make Max's hood. I believe Max customized that hood.

Guys,
The Red Fiberglass hood(V8 Street car) is from IFC Porsche Fiberglass, The Black Carbon Fiber Hood (GT3 944/968 Race Car) is from Scheimann Composites.
In regards to the side openings, yes those are exhaust outlets and will be finished off with Carbon Fiber Bezel around the openings.

PS: Race Car-Jim the drop spindles will work fine(thank you), machining to accept the 997 GT2 front calipers.
Additionally I did receive my OMP Carbon Fiber Seat and OMP CF Steering Wheel and the Racers Edge M030 Billet Front Hubs.
Also did order the Triple Adjustable JRZ's. Slow Project
