Jjm,

I asked them about that too, as I'd love to see what a black mesh version would look like on my car. Perfect R Gruppe accessory.

Originally I thought I could pop the grill right in... I stopped asking when I found out the grill doesn't separate too easily from the spoiler. Does anyone have experience separating the two pieces?

I still think it's a cool idea. Maybe if they get enough emails from interested parties they will make a prototype for me to test (I don't live too far away from them).

This flush rear screen look amazing! Next, they need to delete the rain gutters.

I love these mirrors. Want them so bad! Better than tear drops in my opinion, although they likely look better on a modified car rather than a otherwise stock exterior...or maybe not?

What's the story w/ that flush rear glass? Is that an OEM glass that had been glued in place sans seal, or is that a totally new setup w/ bespoke glass?

i never got a response. there is that guy al on pelican who is willing to take it on, but needs either the entire piece to build a prototype off of, or some exact measurements.

More lightweight inspired Porsche bits that would look great on a modded 964...

An older DP Motorsports project.

I wondered about that too, but don't see any electrical lines... that's part of the reason I'm posting a bunch of these pictures. So many cool parts and such interesting fabrication.

Colin? Steve W/?


Extra points for knowing what this box does? Not in a 964, but very interesting looking...

What did I just read over on the 911 Forum:

Keep watching though, other projects in the shop are a 9m64RS "Retro", a 9m93GT2 Lightweight in fabrication and 9m93RS-R waiting in the wings for a paintwork slot. Unfortunately you will have to wait until the Retro is finished before I reveal any details due to the customer's preference for no publicity.

Can't wait to see what you've come up with!!
