well said

I think saying they are all show no go is not a fair statement. RWB does bodykits (and sells suspension setups and wheels on the side), what the rest of the car packs depends on the owner.

Style wise some RWB cars are a bit over the top for me but there are plenty that I like and I respect the mentality and spirit that seems to surround the whole "scene".

While I like the style, I can't say that I get paying 20-30k for what essentially is a fibreglass bodykit. The whole concept of only the man himself being allowed to install them is a bit overkill imo, but thats just me, I still dig the cars and his dedication.

I do also have to say that RWB had at least some influence when I started building my own widebody this winter, even though it'll be a bit different.

Here is another RWB video I enjoyed:



And some very random photos:

Really like the grey 964!

Did anyone spot the guy in the video with an open face helmet and goggles!
Why the goggles, or is it a Japanese thing?

I would get my cab done if finances were so liquid...keeping it horizon blue and having the blended look. On a set of gold Works...would be great. Its a cab so its all about show, with a pinch of go.

STUARTQ

How about this one.

Big Raff

Now that for me is RWB perfection

LPMM

Yep, much better proportion wise. Here's another example



Lightweight version??? (not sure it is RWB)

When you consider the cost of the factory flairs, I can't see the need for the riveted ones. It can't be a bout saving money. They are not that expensive to do. I am currently doing my track car with widebody flairs and narrow body trailing arms so I will have the zero offset wheels as well. Porsche used this approach for many years along with the 964 3.8RS so I doubt wear and tear will be as much of an issue. Although any tracked car will take abuse and a lot of that is driver dependent.

Mine should look something like this when i am done without the rivets although i am thinking Maritime blue.

This one's in Boston area. Looking forward to getting the full skinny from the owner at some point. Yes, I like them.

Jjm4life

Thats the one i mentioned before.

vagluv

is that a 348??

J81 JKR

It used to be a 348! Kind of reminds me of those MR2s with the crappy wannabe-Ferrari body kits

vagluv

Yeah that really doesn't look good. Yet they still put the banner on the windshield.

Nakai-san is an absolute perfectionist, and he does his cars well. RWB has opened a shop in Bangkok, to cater for the South East Asian market.

That being said, fibreglass is fairly flimsy, compared to metal or CF.

And when your previous car, in pristine condition, has been bought to be RWBed, you get pretty sad. Young chap bought it from the current owner (who bought from me), and apparently has deep pockets. Car will be sent to Bangkok despite it having a bare metal re-spray and mechanically in the 98th percentile. Sigh.

So long, old girl




The NBs convey a certain prettiness, and the more brutal RWBs don't carry that in any way.

Love these pics.
Been following RWB for the last 3 yrs, got exited when they opened a shop in San Mateo Ca.
Home of the 'Pandora' lime green 964.
Could not live with the fiberglass fenders.
I did some checking and have decided to do something similar with custom fabricated steel flares (no rivets) to match front and rear fiberglass bumper covers.
Front flares 11" Rear 13" using the work Brombacher 18X10 front 18x12 Rear
Platform based on 93 cab .
Goes in the shop next week.

It's an aesthetic, going for the 'because racecar'. I dig it.
