Very nice set up, gets the lever a lot closer to the steering wheel.

I really like my rothsport shifter but the dp one is badass. Wish I had known about it beforehand.

Hi guys, new to all this!
I love the exposed shifter with rubber bellows below on the singer cars.
I've not removed the gear gaiter, but I'd love that look with a 917 gear ****. Possible? Or a different shifter required.

Hi Kos11-12,
sorry for the late reply... The dp shifter cannot be adapted to C4!
Works only with C2.

Vandit, thanks for all the correct explanations!!
The shifter is not only getting lever closer to wheel, but also shortening shifting!

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).

Jjm and others,

I posted a picture on Pelican of a friends grill made by Al. I mentioned there might be some interest in a 964 grill also. Here's Al's response:

Justin and the crew at D-Zug are my buds...and your 964 is bad *** with or without my grille.......but would be very bad *** with. I do not have local 964 at my disposal, but....... I'm having dinner with the local RGruppe hooligans tomorrow night and one of the regulars has been driving a 964 lately. Now that the sun is out a bit later, and if I don't drink too much beer, I'll see if I can take some pix and dimensions. I've had more than a few requests...........time to get it going.

regards,
al

not liking the 964 Classic, rear bumper looks too heavy, sills too deep and front wheel offset too shallow

the proportions are not working for me, just spoils what a classic shape the 964 is
