Looks even better outside! Probably looks best from the driver’s seat.

The rockers were the most complicated and hardest thing to complete. It’s not anywhere as simple as cutting the fin off horizontally. The way the fin attaches to the fender makes reattaching the remainder of the rocker difficult , once removed. There are pics somewhere in the thread which shows that the fender had to be reworked and steel added to areas to fill in the holes. Then the fender itself had to be slightly reshaped without altering the lines significantly. There was a lot of trial to get this right. Is it perfect? No, but to completely get that be seamless would have required double the man hours and, to me not worth the cost. There are tricks to make the seam less obvious. I will dig up some pictures and post.

Stunning! The only 964 external visual cues are the smooth rockers and the heat shield over the catalytic converter.
That’s going to be a visual treat every time you walk into the garage.

I like the front air dam being integral to the bumper vs the added rubber in black. Will there be a hood badge and did you consider doing a cat delete possibly straight pipe to eliminate the low hanging cat?
Very nice and a great color.

Wow, the cars at that shop. Slantnose!

Going for a hood badge sticker?
Regarding the brackets around the cat, Fabspeed's cat (and sport cat) both have a very clean exterior look: https://www.fabspeed.com/porsche-964...t-bypass-pipe/
I see the long g-pipe. You'll love the sound. Sounds especially good inside the car @ +4K.
