Saw this beauty at a Porsche event in downtown Chicago. Pictures don't do it justice, in person looks even more awesome!
Just dropped my 964 at Olsen for some upgrades!

I love pictures of wide body 964s, but it has a bit of a clumsy and puffed-up look to it from certain angles in real life. The rear fenders always take a beating too. All that said, the WB fenders integrate the 964 bumper caps perfectly.
On the other hand, a narrow body looks tight and purposeful, nothing extra. Looks great with nice wheels and good stance, and doesn't scream for attention. Simple and clean works on a 964, but maybe too tame of a look?
Hard choice...

Hi Eddie, sorry if this was mentioned earlier in the thread. Which connecting rods did you use for your rebuild? I’m in the process of a top end rebuild myself and have been contemplating going with a 3.8 as well. Depending on condition of P/C’s and budget lol. Thanks in advance for your reply!

It would be hard to chose.

I’d love to see the list of parts you’ve gotten so I know what to expect / start looking for. Even though I have a wide body SC, a wide body 964 has always been the dream and I don’t know how much longer I can fool myself into keeping my 964 narrow.

I don't want to pollute this thread too much more - I'll be starting my own shortly but here's a quick list from the other day for the front. There are some other parts that I already purchased, as well.
